Whether you are living in a small apartment or a tiny efficiency apartment, there are ways to make your home cozy, practical, and attractive. No longer are you bound by the confines of designated space - you can make up your home's character and allot space as you see fit. To make your one-room or small home a place you love to come home to - make sure you arrange and decorate your belongings to suit your activities and interests.
Space planning begins with thinking through how you plan to live on a day-by-day basis. Start with waking up, grabbing breakfast, going to work, coming home, relaxing and spending your evening hours. Think about how each of these activities would be made easier and more comfortable with the right amount of space. For most apartment dwellers, lack of space is a perpetual problem. If you don't have the space, think about what can be compromised.
Following a space budget is really no different than watching your money. The more space you have, the more you can allow for things and the more you can separate your activities with space allocated for entertaining, living, home-officing exercising, and sleeping. The less you have, the more creative you need to be.
The main thing to consider is devoting the most space to the activity that is the most important, and then arranging the space to make the execution of that activity easier.
