Storage is so important in small homes. Built ins like the ones seen above are essential for adding storage to a small space. Whenever shopping and choosing a piece for your home always try to think of all its potential outside of just being beautiful. The high ceilings are utilized by installing bookshelves, a built in bench, and entertainment center, all on one wall. The wall unit is not only attractive but also has a ton of storage availability.

The typical method for creating a guest bedroom (in a one bedroom home) is the pull-out couch. However, in some cases a space may not be large enough to appropriately put a pull out a bed. That's when the day-bed comes in handy. When it comes to style a day bed can actually be more visually pleasing than a typical pull-out couch.

No matter how small your apartment or home may be you can always achieve a beautifully designed space if you keep in mind....balance, harmony, details, practicality and personal style
I love your idea about the day bed in particular. I think that they make practical addition in the home. As there's no need for pull out couches, I think renters can use the space underneath for storing boxes of magazines and other things.
