Basic Interior Design Tips For Better Condo Living

By Jacob Walker


The number of condo buildings in Asian countries has considerably increased in recent years. It's because living in a condominium offers great benefits in terms of convenience and safety to individuals and families alike. Young professionals and small starting families find it also beneficial to reside in high-rise buildings which are usually located within or near business and urban centers.

Interior design is a significant part of any type of residence. While you can expect your unit to be well furnished when you purchase it, you still need to purchase additional appliances and furniture that you need. Incorporating your own interior design concepts is also advisable if you want to create a more unique look for your unit.

Prioritize Functionality And Style For Your Condo Unit

In countries like Singapore and Malaysia, a regular condo unit often has a limited floor area. Most condominium units include only basic rooms such as the bedroom, living area, toilet and bath, kitchen and dining area. To make a stylish and functional living space, it is advisable to buy multi-purpose furniture. For instance, you can go for a stylish sofa bed which you can use in the day and at night. Foldable beds are space savers because you can simply fold them to the wall or hide them elsewhere when not in use.

Since you live in a constrained space, you can also expect storage problems particularly if you have plenty of stuff to keep. This is where your resourcefulness and creative skills come handy. You can utilize floor-to-ceiling shelves to store all your books if you're keeping a huge collection. You can also use the space below your bed to store your bags or shoes and other personal stuff.

When it comes to interior design Malaysia homeowners value functionality. The usual condo interior design in the country is modern and urbanized. It means using old and large furniture in your condo unit may not be a good thing to do. Rather, you should invest in furnishings which are functional or minimalist in style to save more space. Of course buy furnishings that complement the color of your wallpaper or paint to create harmony in your condo unit.
