ln is your friend :)
example:
mkdir /common/user1
ln -s /common/user1 /home/user1/extra_space

I have used this at home with the multimedia files and shared
documents. What I have come across is some issues with directory and
path usage with copying and moving files around.
I have found that the 'mount --bind {source} {link}' works better than
ln for some cases.
Look up
man mount
Also, I create a group for the users that use the shared directories.
