Hong Kong might be the alarm that our world needs for the ever growing population and its habitat needs. With around 30% of the population living in rental housing, the Hong Kong government is putting in $80 billion to make a new artificial island.

Cabinet above bed
This might sound not so comfy to many of you but it surely makes sense. Specially you have a niche behind. Put a floating shelf or over head cabinets, but this space can be used for many other things that you do not want should be seen on a regular basis.
Furniture with dual function
How about a trunk that is also a bar or a bench that also has storage space. Furniture with dual function always work well in a small space.
Colour on colour decor
We just did a post on colours, but this idea is not about using just mild tones. it is about using colour on colour, which means using green on green tones and shades with a neutral colour scheme.
Wall dividers
Use dividers to break your space but not just classic wooden screens but dividers that can house plants, books etc.
Long curtains
This is a great hack as well. Have curtains the touch the floor, so that the line does not gets broken. Even if your window starts a little lower, having a full length curtain gives an impression of a massive wall.
Large furniture
Just like long curtains make the space look horizontally bigger the large furniture rather than a three seater with two chairs and two side tables, have a large seating.
Floating shelves
Rather than going for full blown hefty cupboard space, go for floating shelves. You get them easily anywhere and everywhere lately.
