Renting a bachelor or studio apartment is a great choice, especially for students and young professionals, as these apartments can be incredibly affordable and convenient. Despite these advantages, however, many potential renters still can't get over the lack of living space available in a bachelor apartment for rent.

Yes, the apartment might be small (compared to other one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments), but that doesn't mean you have to think small! Here are just a few of the things you can do to open up the space and make your bachelor apartment look bigger than it really is:

Simplify Your Life
If it's your first time renting a bachelor apartment, you'll probably have to take a hard look at everything you own and decide what you really need to bring with you to your new apartment. Remember, space is at a premium - there's no room for extra junk that will just sit around.
Put a higher priority on items that can save space by performing multiple functions. For starters, consider your bed. Is there enough room in your apartment for both a bed and a couch? Or would you be making better use of your space by combining the two items with a futon or convertible sofa?
While you can't bring everything you own into your new apartment, you can keep it elsewhere. Many apartment buildings have onsite storage lockers, and most cities have numerous self-storage facilities to choose from.
Stack 'Em Up
When it comes to making more space in your apartment rental, stacking is key. For example, if you decide to keep your regular bed, try putting it on risers and buying a set of under-the-bed storage containers - doing so will save space on your shelves as well as in your dresser and closets.
Speaking of the closet, stacking is key here, too. Adding multi-tiered shelves will give you more space for towels, shoes, and well, pretty much anything. Adding a behind-the-door organizer that hooks onto the top of your closet door will also give you a multitude of options with minimal space requirements.
As an extension to the stacking concept, you could also install a shelf that runs along the wall through your entire apartment (be sure to ask your landlord or building superintendent before doing any serious installations, of course). This type of shelf is great for storing books or various knick-knacks at eye level, simultaneously showing off your collections while keeping them from being cluttered elsewhere.
Keep It Clean
Of course, it's important not to add too much to the walls - if there isn't enough empty space, the room will feel crowded and small (even if the space is technically being put to good to use). Instead of cluttering the walls with shelf after shelf, you might also want to try to use mirrors and lighting, which will make the apartment appear bigger and brighter.
Living and Working from a Bachelor Apartment
Whether you're a freelancer, entrepreneur, or small business owner, turning your studio apartment into viable office space is extremely important.
An efficient home office doesn't have to be in its own separate room. Both desktop and laptop computers are getting smaller, and cell phones are becoming more and more versatile. Wireless technology is quickly becoming the norm, meaning you can fit your equipment anywhere it needs to go - even into the smallest of makeshift workspaces.
You might not have room for a full-size desk inside your bachelor apartment. No need to worry - you can set up a drop-leaf table with a chair alongside it. When you're ready to work, just open up the table, pull up the chair, and turn on your laptop.
If you need to borrow space from a bedroom, it's important to separate your work life from your home life. You can do this by tucking your laptop into an armoire, or by setting up a folding screen or room divider between your desk and your bed.
In the end, creating more space in a bachelor apartment is all about making some sacrifices, thinking smarter, and being creative. And remember, it's not how big the space is - it's what you do with it that counts.
