In studio apartments and any urban abodes that feature an open floor plan, amateur interior designers have a blank canvas with which to work with. Take advantage of corners in your space to create a cozy nook that will open up traffic flow for other areas of the home, according to Better Homes and Gardens.

If you have an island near your kitchen or a large wall near an entertainment area, there's no sense in leaving a couch all alone in the middle of the room. You can use a small sofa and loveseat in an L-shape near your wall, but leave a space in the middle to place an end table for additional lighting or decorative accents.

An apartment sectional is another option to consider that can be customized to include additional seating or an extended chaise portion. You can also opt to use an ottoman instead of a coffee table so everyone has a place to put their feet up.
