Having lived in a tiny place for 5 years with a roommate, I learned a few tricks over the years for a small rental space:
1. Ditch the coffee table - opens up the living room
2. Either flat panel or no TV - give your old boxy thing away
3. Keep the windows uncovered - lighter, airy look
4. Laptop computer - desktops take up too much space
I'm now a landlord, and watch my tenants make the same mistakes over and over with little rental places!
If you have some more advice for small apartments, add 'em here!
Cheers,
Brian

Stick to one neutral color for the walls - spice up your room with colored accessories.

Well placed mirror

Limit use of throw rugs - leave the floor's appearance 'unbroken'

If you need a table in the livingroom - choose glass -gives an airy feeling and allows the eye to 'see through' it.

Limit knicknacks - shoot for a clean uncluttered look if you are trying to make the room look larger

Small groupings on the walls as opposed to large art
