A condo can be the perfect place to live, but it can also feel a little cramped if you don’t utilise the space you have. From painting and decorating, to the furniture you choose and the layout of the place, there are plenty of ways to make your condo feel bigger and more spacious. Check out some of our top tips here to get you on your way to a larger-feeling condo today.
Use Mirrors
Good enough for the ancient Egyptians and savvy decorators alike, mirrors are an excellent way to make a space feel bigger and brighter. Putting up a couple of mirrors helps lighten up your condo, and the reflections make it seem a lot larger than it really is. There are many ways to use mirrors to create the optical illusion of a larger area. You can lean a mirror against the wall instead of hanging it, make a hallway feel longer, and cleverly conceal cupboards too. Try it for yourself!
Go Bright and Declutter
Using light and bright colours on your walls is essential to make your condo feel big as well as clean and cheery. Lighting is another area that can be overlooked; with a well-lit room often feeling more spacious and comfortable at the same time. Natural light is one of the best ways to make a room feel spacious. So, if you can try and avoid heavy and dark window coverings, and instead use net curtains or blinds that still allow the sun in while maintaining your privacy, you’ll have much better results.
Decluttering is another quick and easy way to open up more room in your condo. Really think about what you have on display and whether it makes you happy. What is simply collecting dust? Be vigilant and get rid of the things that are taking up your valuable space.
Be Clever with Furniture and Storage
If you are in a smaller space then what you put into it is key. Large and bulky furniture will make your condo feel cramped, but you also need enough storage space to be able to keep all of your belongings neatly tucked away. There are lots of fantastic, clever storage options available, so you should have a look at what your condo might already have hidden away.
You can get containers that fit under your bed, hanging storage for cupboards, and many other inexpensive tools to help you make the most of the space you have.
If you choose to get a condo somewhere like Lumpini Township Rangsit-Klong 1, a condo project in Bangkok, you can easily head to one of the amazing local markets and see what clever furniture and storage options you can find. Many tables, seats and other furnishings can also double as storage containers for your possessions, keeping your condo neat and tidy and feeling more spacious.
To make your condo feel more comfortable, try and let in more natural light, use mirrors to give the illusion of space, de-clutter, and store away your belongings to really give you a larger area to move about and live in.
