[GIMP][Beginner] Making Cabinets Look Taller Than Tables?

[Sharpe]

Here's what I've tried:



I think that's probably pretty good. I think the new shadows make the cabinet and bookshelf look taller than the desk and bed and table.

Maybe I'm bias, though.

To make the shadows, I duplicated the layers of the tall objects, then used a motion blur filter on the layer set to length 35 and angle 255, then selected the blur and filled it with black, then gaussian blurred that (at 7), then put it under the original layer and set the opacity to 50%.

EDIT: I also deleted the wall drop shadow and that helped quite a bit too.

However, if there's any advice, I'd still be happy to hear it. :-)
