Pro tips for decorating condos.
Living in a small condo has its advantages and disadvantages. Decorating it might look as easy as it seems, but it’s a little bit of a challenge on how you can make it look like it is huge, bright, cheerful and spacious. Read more of the list below on how you can do it.
Go all white.
Among all of the colors, white gives a space visually expanded. You can paint the walls and ceilings white as it can disguise the edges of the space to look and feel bigger. You can also add some bright color in the white space to make it bolder and if you want to add style and personality to your space.
Be creative with storage.
Having big cabinets isn’t that much applicable on small condos. But here’s what you can do:
- Have a pull-out drawer under your bed to get rid of the need for a dresser.
- Have chairs with storage.
- Add removable floorboards.
- Have furniture with more than one function.
This would lessen your need for more and more furniture. You can make a coffee table that could even transform into your office station with your files under it.
Utilize vertical space.
It is the key to make the space perform all of its tasks you require of a home. Floor-to-ceiling shelving and window treatments here create a feeling of luxury and spaciousness without increasing the floor square footage.
Go artsy with your walls.
Not just artsy, but it must be useful. Everything in your home must have a task. You can add up a box shelf that a put up in diagonal and have it painted that pop out in the eye or depending on what you like.
Have some movable room dividers.
If you want to make your condo feel larger, have dividers that can be opened. Dividers can be in the form of curtains, sliding doors or all furniture.
Declutter every chance you get.
Decluttering your space goes a long, long way. Try doing this often. Dispose of everything that you have not used for more than a year.
Sure, some of the furniture might have sentimental value to you, but when an item is just eating up space, it’s time to let it go. If you cannot let go of a sentimental item, put it in an organized storage space.
Organized storage spaces
Having an organized storage space is one of the keys to decorating small Condo. The best storage spaces are those built-in or serve multiple purposes. Those items that are not used frequently but are still handy should be stored away.
Strategical spaces
If you have some bookshelves and open cabinets at home, it is best not to fill up every shelf in a room. Now, this might not be the proper use of each shelf, but it gives the space a more dramatic look. Leaving some of the spaces half empty makes the room look more spacious and airy.
Make a bold statement
Mirrors in a room make a huge statement for guests. Try installing an oversized mirror, or a set of smaller mirrors. Mirrors make a small room look larger.
