Buy some decorative screens to separate things and hide others.

This is a fun challenge. This seems to be how a lot of apartments are in big cities.
http://www.ikea.com has EXTENSIVE storage merchandise for just your type of apartment. Also they are quite inexpensive - I’m not sure where you live, it would be cheaper to pick what you buy up yourself at your closest ikea store - but shipping is also an option.
Like someone else said screens are a great way to separate rooms.so are rugs, and different paint colors in different areas. Lighting can also help to visually separate an area.
No closests. I recommend a wardrobe cabinet. You can jack your bed up and put storage boxes under your bed for clothes - which will not take up any additional space.
Good luck.
