Hello World! Welcome Friends! Living in a condo comes with certain perks and limitations. Condo residents can enjoy various amenities, increased security, and a feeling of community. A condo is also more financially viable than a house. Many luxury condos for sale are affordable, even for those with reasonably modest budgets.
However, condos tend to be tinier than houses with slightly smaller physical dimensions. As such, you may not have as much space in your living room, bedroom, and kitchen. However, don’t let this dissuade you from being able to capitalize on the available real estate. You can utilize some tricks and tips to make your condo appear bigger.
For those looking to enlarge the condo’s look, check out these five best tips and tricks:
1. Color Palette
When remodeling a condo, there are a few interior design rules that you should know. For starters, the choice of color that you paint your walls with will significantly influence how your space appears. As such, be sure to pick a couple of colors that complement one another as a start.
Lighter and warmer colors go a long way in creating an atmosphere which enlarges your condo’s appearance. Although dark colors may seem like they are visually appealing, they may not help your goals at hand. An optimal choice in color selection is in between white and gray; experiment how you see fit!
2. Smaller Spaces
Every condo is outfitted with several spaces, some of which are larger than others. However, the areas that are tinier should not be ignored completely. In fact, you can use them to great effect, which can help flesh out the real estate inside of your condo. It all depends on what items or furnishings you plan on putting inside of them.
For example, if there is a small space within your kitchen area, you could create a small pantry out of it. You will then be able to hold smaller items, such as your spices, sauces, or other foods here. Not only will this make things more convenient, but it frees up space from your other areas too.
3. Mirror Placement
Don’t just think that mirrors only belong in your bathroom or bedroom. While these are the primary spots for these pieces of glass, they can also be used in your main living space. Finding the right mirror for your living room can actually bolster its appearance, in terms of size. Floor-length mirrors are a great choice to test out in the beginning.
These size-specific mirrors can make you appear taller, as well as enlarging the overall real estate available. Depending on how many mirrors you install, you will create a stretch effect, which expands the dimensions of your space. You don’t have to make your condo into a house of mirrors in order to make it look bigger!
4. Room Organization
Despite our best efforts, we will inevitably allow our rooms to become cluttered with our stuff. No matter if it’s articles of clothing on the floor, or other items, things can become an eyesore quickly. Along with the unintended mess looking unsightly, the resulting effect can make the room appear smaller.
Fortunately, there is a quick fix to this in totality. Clean up the room, organize the belongings in each, and it will look much better. A neat room has the subsequent effect of looking bigger in appearance. The more you commit to the organization, the larger the space will look to guests!
5. Choice of Furniture
Of course, no condo can be complete without the right selection of furniture. From couches, to chairs, to lamps, there are a ton of choices available. Your tastes will dictate which furnishings you eventually pick. However, be sure to consider the type of furniture you place in your condo.
Sometimes, the sentiment of less-is-more really does apply. Your condo may be enhanced by just a couple of well-placed chairs, rather than five of the same type. The same rule will also apply to furnishings, such as a coffee table. A proportionately-sized table situated in the middle of your space looks better than you’d expect!
Speaking of having the right proportions, the size of your furniture will also be critical. Remember, bigger is not always necessarily better, especially as it pertains to your condo essentials. Gauge your space’s dimensions, and choose furniture that is well-suited for the selected location.
