If not done right, decorating a condominium can make the space feel cramped and cluttered. So it’s important to choose the kind of furniture, fixtures, and décor that will make your condo feel like a place you can stretch out in.
Here are a few affordable ideas:
- •Create more space
Since space is one of the biggest challenges of living in a condo, it’s important to be creative and to look for ways to utilize each square foot. To maximize the space in your condo, you can rearrange the furniture in your living room to achieve the flow of an open space. Conversely, you can use freestanding shelves or consoles as dividers to distinguish one area of your condo from another.
You can also create space by getting rid of clutter and paring down your possessions.
- • Introduce another color
If you’re tired of neutral, add a pop of your favorite color. Should condo rules prohibit you from painting your walls, introduce color in your home décor and accessories. Colorful pillows, rugs, and accent furniture will do the trick. It’s a fun way to experiment with colors and liven up your condo in no time!
- • Add mirrors
This is a time-honored way to make a room appear larger than it really is. Use multiple mirrors and position them strategically to create depth. An overhead light fixture with mirror accents can catch both artificial and natural light and bounce them back to the darker areas of the room to make them look larger. Mirrors can also be used as a backsplash. Or, you can simply hang a mirror across a window in your condo’s living room or dining room.
- • Hang art or photographs
Framed art or photographs personalize your home and add character. If you don’t have original art, simply print out your favorite photographs and mount them on different frames. You can also create a collage or make your own art.
- • Use removable wallpaper
If your contract doesn’t allow you to paint the walls of your condo, resort to removable paper. They’re easy to apply and remove. Choose from a variety of styles and patterns, from sophisticated florals to playful patterns.
- • Get a plant
Plants can add a soothing touch of green to your space – especially if your condo happens to be in the heart of an urban area. Visit a home supplies store or your local farmers market to pick up a plant that you can take as much or as little care of, depending on your lifestyle. You can even start a small garden on your windowsill or keep a vase of fresh flowers on a countertop or table. Or opt for accents with plant patterns if you don’t have time to care for the real thing.
- • Brighten it up with accessories
Bring your condo to life by decorating it with well-chosen accessories. You can have statement pieces such as ottomans, floor lamps, and other unique pieces to complement the theme and style of your condo.
