<human>:  How can I make use of space more effectively in my small apartment?
<bot>: Utilizing multi-purpose furniture is a great way to make use of space more effectively in a small apartment. Investing in pieces provides an efficient way to make the most of limited square footage. Things like ottomans with storage, pull-out couches, stackable chairs, and tables with built-in storage can all provide an easy way to conserve space while still providing you with the necessary furniture. 2 Furthermore, utilizing vertical space can help you stretch your square footage to the max. Wall storage, hanging rods, and floating shelves help free up floor space and provide a place to stow away items when not in use. Finally, use décor to your advantage by employing mirrors to create the illusion of a much larger space.
