Maximizing Small Apartment Space Without Breaking the Bank

Just moved into a tiny apartment and trying to make the most of every inch without blowing my budget. I’ve been scavenging thrift shops and online marketplaces for secondhand furniture that’s both functional and stylish - found a fantastic folding table that doubles as a desk and dining area. Also got creative with vertical space, using wall-mounted shelves and hanging organizers for storage. I’m still figuring out how to keep it cozy without clutter, especially since I work from home now. Anyone else living the small-space life on a budget? What are your favorite hacks or must-have items that don’t cost a fortune? Would love to hear how you balance style, comfort, and thriftiness in tight spaces!
