Gail Schulman's 375 sq ft Manhattan apartment, renting for $2,700 a month, is a case study in making a tiny space feel spacious. Second-hand furniture and thrifted décor are styled to look high-end throughout, while renter-friendly upgrades — peel-and-stick flooring, custom curtains, brass hardware — add polish without permanent changes. A custom dining nook hosts four to six people despite the space's size, and clever storage hacks with hidden compartments and multi-functional furniture keep the apartment feeling open rather than cramped.
