I have a set of built in shelves in my bedroom. This is not my house so I have no renovation control and have to work around them. Unfortunately, due to window, door and outlet locations they aim directly across the top half of my bed (perpendicular to my headboard). Without adding curtains or doors to the shelves which I do not have leave to do, how can I counter the arrow line?
Thank you

Dear Sandra,
Often, this is not a major flaw. To some people, this is a non-issue.
However, the simplest method is to use one's personale.g. table cloth or any cloth that is of appropriate length. One simply covers this bookshelf.
For example if there are two shelves, for the lower shelf:
1. simply remove all the books from the first shelf.
2. Next, take a piece of cloth: fold it to the appropriate length; use part of it to cover the base of the first shelf.
3. Next, place back the books.
Now, with these books on top of this cloth, it acts like a temporary cover for the lower book shelf. Often, the upper bookshelve is much higher and no issue. If one still wants to temporarly cover them, Simply do the same method and place one or two books to hold this cloth. Or, go buy some double sticking tape or use blue tack to hold the top cloth.
*Joke* Let's imagine that we live in an age where there are no paper books. But electronic books. Perhaps, at this time, one need not worry about poison arrows from books but from the sharp edge of computers!
Perhaps, this is the price to pay for being an `educated' person:)
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
