Many urbanites are investing in condos despite the limited living space they offer. This is because they have many attractions, such as on-premises security, convenient amenities and prime downtown locations.
But condo living requires certain considerations, like choosing furniture that fits. Since condos are short on space, it’s vital to choose pieces that are both appealing and functional.
In this post, we offer a few tips on how to furnish your condo and live lavishly within a small space.
4 Tips for Choosing the Modern Condo Furniture
Here are some helpful tips on purchasing condo furniture to make the most of your space while ensuring it looks appealing.
-
Spend Some Time in the Unit
Buying property is exciting. Once you know you’ve got the condo, start developing ideas about how to best use the space before you start buying furniture. How much floor space, for instance, is available? One way to ensure you’re making the right choice is by spending some time in the unit to get a feel for what will – and won’t – work.
-
Measure the Space Properly
As condos are much smaller than houses, you need to measure the floor and wall spaces available to accommodate new furniture.
Buying furniture that’s too big will make your condo seem cramped. For instance, you may like sectionals but they’re not appropriate if you lack space. The same applies to beds. A king or queen-sized bed sounds great, but you may not have enough room to move around freely.
-
Buy Minimalist Furniture
Our experts recommend minimalist-style furniture to make the area appear more spacious. Neutral colours go well with this theme and make the space seem warm and cozy yet bright.
-
Get Creative With Storage
Want more usable square footage? Get creative with your storage. For instance, add built-in seating and floor-to-ceiling cabinets. A couch placed in front of a wall bookcase creates unexpected storage space too.
When dealing with a small kitchen, make use of the space under your wall-mounted cabinets to store necessities you don’t often use. This way, your condo appears both stylish and organized.
Whether you’re looking for something modern or traditional, contemplating what furniture will fit your condo allows you to more easily pick gorgeous pieces that harmoniously fit. The last thing you want is to create an overcrowded space. By following these tips, you ensure a space that’s both comfortable and functional while making a home you’ll love spending time in.
