32 Things That'll Make Even The Tiniest Apartment Feel Roomy

What studio apartment? The products in this post were updated in April 2018.

1. Stack up a unique nightstand with these rose gold-accented foot lockers to wrangle extra bed linens and other random bedroom stuff.

2. Avoid extra clutter by choosing decor with open lines, like this blank-space picture frame.

3. Disguise your lack of room for an actual kitchen counter peninsula or island with this high-top table and stool set as an easy stand-in.

4. And feel like you're flooded with gratuitous countertop space with this granite-top kitchen cart that'll scoot wherever you want it.

5. Make your ceilings look taller by hanging long curtains above the window frame. These tassel-trim curtains come in several colors and lengths, and will let you have the perfect balance of privacy and light.

6. Or, forgo (inches of) space-hogging curtains and add a second layer to your windows with cool, privacy enhancing window film.

7. Get a little inventive with a striped rug that incorporates ~layers~ of patterns for a deceptively widening floor covering.

8. Sick to death of room-elongating stripes? Opt for a light-hued area rug that'll have a similar effect as light-bouncing mirrors.

9. That also goes for light-colored runners that'll brighten up any dim, narrow hallway or galley kitchen.

10. Amplify any and all light sources with a compact mirrored table to make a room look brighter and bigger.

11. Squeeze in some closet-like storage with a ladder bookshelf that'll fit in the tightest of spaces

12. Invest in a fiddleleaf fig tree as an easy care houseplant that (like magic!) makes any room feel bigger. Don't ask us how, but it does.

13. Commit to a mid-century modern look with a pin-leg coffee table that won't break your line of sight in a small living space.

14. Bump out the visual space of an accent wall with a horizontal-leaning pattern made with a string light.

15. Obscure a utility closet or create the illusion of a Mariah Carey size bedroom closet by hanging a ~tasteful~ bamboo beaded curtain in a doorway.

16. Play tricks on your eyes with a ghost chair knockoff that won't block the visual flow of the room.

17. If you can't live without color, continue the mid-century modern schtick with a pair of Eames-style chairs that'll maintain the flow.

18. Bounce around light in a teensy kitchen like nobody's business with a stainless-steel kit that'll transform appliances.

19. Deny your inner slob another enclosed kitchen cabinet and hang up an open shelf for easier access to tools, spices, and cooking essentials you use on the reg.

20. Trick the eye into thinking you have cathedral ceilings with a pretty, vertical wall hanging.

21. Shield your eyes from the glint of trash — yes, trash — with a sleek waste bin.

22. Compensate for the lack of an office with this compact storage desk that'll be your new WFH central.

23. Stick on a wall-decal headboard to make it look like you have room for an actual headboard.

24. Style a tall table vignette with cool objects, like this glass obelisk because when you can't go wide, you go up!

25. Opt for a hide-the-ugly-stuff piece that provides extra seating with this stylish storage bench that'll look great in your living room or at the foot of your bed.

26. Outfit a living room for entertaining — without halting foot traffic — with a sleek floating cabinet.

27. Play the same trick with a floating media center to create the illusion of more floor space and a little extra storage space underneath during desperate times.

28. Create a moment for pause with a big piece of art that fills up some serious space, like this pretty canvas.

29. Do as people have for centuries and make the most of natural light by placing mirrors on a wall adjacent to natural light for the effect of a bigger room with more windows.

30. Use the stripes of this striped shower curtain to widen the look of a narrow bathroom.

31. Stash reading materials in an opportune spot and score some major design-cred points with this modern acrylic table.

32. And always remember that floating shelves — even tiny ones — are your BFF because the more wall space you can eye, the bigger your place'll look.
