      Using the storage your apartment comes with—such as a bathroom vanity—to your full advantage is a smart small-apartment idea for saving space. By maximizing what you already have, you eliminate the need for add-on storage units that make a room feel cramped. Stackable or pull-out storage in a bathroom vanity fills the vertical space and tidies up bathroom necessities. Layering gives an apartment a touch of sophistication. Take this trick to the floor with a duo of area rugs. Anchor a furniture arrangement with a simple neutral rug, and place a second statement rug on top of it. See the difference? 

  Renters can live practically anywhere, while homeowners are restricted to areas where they can afford to buy. Although rents can be high in areas where home values are also high, renters are more apt to find an affordable monthly payment than home buyers. The amount you pay for rent is fixed for the span of the lease agreement. While landlords can raise the rent with notice, you can budget more efficiently, because you know the amount of rent you are required to pay.

  That’s because what you lack in autonomy as far as home decorating and renovating you more than make up for in cost convenience. One area where that is abundantly clear is in your monthly budgeting. Home ownership is a variable cost endeavor. Depending on the terms of a mortgage, interest rates may change over time—going up or down without the input of the owner themselves. The same is true for property taxes, which almost always fluctuate. When you rent, you lock yourself in at a set monthly amount for the entire term of your lease so that the only variable costs you have to worry about are spending more in heat or electricity.
