How can I have different margins in Libre Office Writer?

I need to write a document that will be printed front/back on multiple sheets that are then to be stapled together.

I need to leave different margins depending if the page is even or odd, for one I need wider margin right for another on the left. Is it possible to achieve this?

What would be the best practice in this case?

You should use a "Mirrored" page layout:

Mirrored

The current page style shows both odd and even pages with inner and outer margins as specified. Use this layout if you want to bind the printed pages like a book.

Enter the binding space as the "Inner" margin.

Source Page Layout

1. Menu > "Format" > "Page...".

2. Select "Page" tab.

3. Select "Mirrored" in "Page layout"

4. Set "Inner" and "Outer" as appropriate.

5. Click "OK"
