sacrifices have to be made. You have to seriously consider new purchases and whether or not the benefit outweighs the cost of the space they’ll take up. Luckily, there are plenty of miniature versions of the gadgets and home items every apartment needs. From seasonal things like space heaters to everyday kitchen items like coffee makers, there’s always a way to make it work — it’s just a matter of finding the options that fit your budget and square footage.
