Home gym in a tiny space

I live in a Brooklyn apartment and am using part of my living room as a workout space. I've got around 80 sq ft to spare. I'm hoping for some advice in maximizing my space/equipment. If anyone else has a miniature home gym, it'd be great to compare notes!
This is what I have:
kettle bells 15 & 20lb
free weights 3, 5, 8 & 10lb
3.5lb adjustable ankle/wrist weights
resistance bands
yoga mat
ab roller
chin up bar
aerobic stepper
pushup stands
I'm thinking of adding:
light weight rowing machine (that I can store under the couch or in a closet when not in use)
Bodyweight Resistance Trainer

Thanks, Will. This was helpful!

My first suggestion would be a suspension training system (TRX, gymnastics rings, similar).
Second would be adjustable dumbbells (heavier than what you've got now - you're capable of more than you think).
3rd would be decent running shoes.
4th would be an adjustable bench.1 -

Thanks for the tips. The body weight resistance trainer is basically TRX. I have running shoes - but I also have plantar fasciitis, so I can't be doing much of that until my PT gives the okay. Good tip on the adjustable dumbbells. I've been looking at them, but they're a bit pricey for me at the moment.0
