Two words: MURPHY BED.

Okay, maybe that's not doable. But for such a tiny spot, it's the way to go. I would definitely utilize the bed as a seating area...make it couchy. Kemin DC had the best advice, though. Invest in nice furniture and not too much of it. Return something, even if you love it, if you just don't have a place. Holding onto things I loved really cluttered up my small spaces for much longer than it should have.

What about textiling the ceiling? It can be difficult to utilize in a rental situation, but if you are short on wall space and are able, a nice hippie tapestry type thing will hang like a lovely pillowy tent-like ceiling. If you are more demure than that, though, a few layers of sheer white curtain panels will be largely unnoticeable, and they are still lightweight enough not to require any major hardware.

As an indirect-lighting bonus, throw some Christmas lights up there and it's all twinkling stars at night.
