What tech makes a small apartment feel bigger?

Tech that reduces visual clutter makes spaces feel bigger: wireless chargers (eliminate cable tangles), streaming sticks (hide behind TV vs boxes on shelves), wall-mounted speakers (free shelf space), and robot vacuums (clean floors make spaces feel larger). Also: smart lights that can dim and warm create a cozier atmosphere that makes small spaces feel intentional rather than cramped.

Is a robot vacuum worth it in a small apartment?

Yes — arguably more worth it than in large homes. Small apartments show dirt and dust more quickly because the floor area is visible at all times. A robot vacuum running daily keeps the entire apartment clean with zero effort. In a studio apartment, the robot covers the full space in 15-20 minutes. The auto-empty dock means you interact with it only every 7 weeks. For small apartment dwellers, it is the most life-improving cleaning investment.
