  Make the most of that small space or first apartment:

 
  • look for multi-purpose furniture such as taller tables that can do double
    duty as added counter space, chairs and ottomans with storage and
    sofas that turn into beds.

  • organize your things with vertical storage options that free up floor
    space

  • use track or pendant lighting rather than floor and table lamps;
    aiming the light source at walls will give the illusion of expanded
    space

  • replace interior doors with decorative fabric panels

  • clean your windows often and pull back the draperies to maximize
    natural light as long as possible; you've probably already noticed
    the days are getting shorter !

  • use wireless technology, or hide that unsightly tangle of wires in
    flexible tubing

  • splurge on quality table linens and dinnerware; little luxuries go
    a long way

  • throw a party; it's a known fact that people actually socialize
    better in small spaces
