Whether you "crash" or "escape" to your apartment, you'll need a bed. Choose the best bed you can afford and the largest one that will fit your space. Add a night stand or bedside table and lamp. If the space will allow, add a comfortable chair.

Living Room
If your apartment is really small, this room will probably need to be multi-functional. You should find a chair or two or a loveseat or sofa. Add a television and sound system and you'll be ready to entertain guests and relax. Use either wall-mounted or free-standing shelving to store books and display knick knacks you may have. Add color and comfort with an area rug.

Kitchen
Some small apartments have a closet-size kitchen and many apartments provide the appliances you'll need. In any case, you will need a safe place to cook and store food. A microwave, cook-top, and mini-frig would fit even the smallest space. A real luxury would be a small seating area that would hold a bistro table and pair of chairs.

Office
I don't know many people who don't do at least some work at home. A desk would be a luxury in a really small apartment. But you'll need some place for your computer, a comfortable working chair, and storage for your office supplies and books.
* Storage
Try to be creative when it comes to storage. Every inch of a small apartment will be used for some necessary purpose. Hang a broom and mop from wall-hooks. Use under-bed boxes for cleaning supplies. Install shelving around the top of the walls for linens, tissue, out-of-season clothes, and extra bedding.
