I agree - half the challenge is making the best use of space. I started with a 4'x2' N scale setup but now feel that shelf layouts are the way to go - currently have an 8'x1' HO. The advantage of this is that it allows you to have long sidings and limited scenery - no need to spend a fortune on building mountains, etc. You only need to model anything within about a scale 6in of the tracks which makes the build process faster and cheaper. You can also build a layout in a room that's used for other purposes - mine occupies a wall in the spare room, so in the rare event of relatives coming to stay it's not taking up much space.
