Practical Ideas to Live in a Condominium and in Luxury

When someone hears that you live in a condominium, they may assume you have a luxurious lifestyle. Despite being flanked by luxurious amenities, futuristic finishes, spectacular views, and green locations, space constraint is a glaring issue. Enhancing the luxury quotient of your condominium is a real challenge.

What Are Some of the Coolest Ideas To Live in a Luxurious Condominium?

     As the king or queen of your palace, here are some innovative ideas that will amp up your condominium without compromising on the luxury quotient. There are many clever techniques to design a condo that makes certain areas seem larger. Follow these design tips and advice to maximize your condo unit’s space without compromising on luxury.

Lights, Mirrors, Space!

            Natural light can work wonders anywhere. To counteract the space-reducing shadows, avoid placing large furniture near windows. Since ceiling-to-floor windows are a famous sight in condo designs, try to utilize these light-entering areas. Use green planters and hanging potted plants to highlight these spaces. Imagine having the first rays of sunrise, greeting you and bidding you goodnight at sunset! Isn’t this a luxury moment to look forward to every day? Rooms will also appear larger than they are by including reflective materials, such as white lacquered walls, glossy tiles, and mirrors. Mirrors on the wall are a design element that can help keep the light flowing in your room. This trick is quite popular, and why not?

Last but not least, combine mirrors with light sources to provide the impression of a larger space. Be adventurous with novel mirror arrangements and styles that could otherwise seem counterproductive. You never know what clever creativity might just turn up!

Neutral Shades Vs Colours

There is a good reason why lavish, neutral colours are popular in luxury condominium designs. Although paint colours will look more vibrant, it “slices the vastness of space” at a glance. However, try a neutral color palette to generate a continuum feel throughout the home, rendering the look of a larger space.  The feeling of continuity is evident more so in open-planned areas. These spaces are melded into a unity by using similar neutral colour schemes and building materials.

Also, your bold, contemporary art pieces will look more prominent against the neutral wall colors. But what if a bold statement wall is your thing? Then try the infusion of a colored wall for a more profound effect and a sense of personality when placed in a neutral environment.  So, not just your state-of-the-art collectibles get the attention, but also the bolder walls. Don’t be afraid to try this tip because you will most certainly receive compliments for this unique sense of personality displayed.  (Insert a neutral-colored room with aesthetic art pieces that draws attention)

Vertically Expanded

            The condo space does not have to be burdened by concessions due to the small space area. Since you cannot increase a condo’s square footage, most interior designers create an optical illusion of height. Have you noticed how every luxury condo living room curtains drape the windows from ceiling to floor? Or maybe shelf units are extended all way to the top? The idea is to elongate the look of the room. Things on the walls don’t take up any floor space, and moving the eye upward makes rooms look taller. Taller and narrower items take up less floor space than broader and shorter ones.

Just like a slimmer person tends to look taller beside a healthier person, nobody would notice much difference had they both been chubby. Therefore, going upward gives various ingenious chances to create extra physical storage space around the apartment for clothing, shoes, bedding, food goods, cosmetics, etc. The sky’s the limit, so go vertical!

Versatile Furniture that Doubles Up or Down

      The last two years saw a considerable change in our working culture – space, routines and allied elements. The pandemic locked us indoors, and the work-from-home concept was born. Many homeowners who were unprepared for this faced the obstacle of having a dedicated home office area.  The condo owners want to have a luxurious home without compromising on space. So, the solution was to get functional furniture that serves a dual purpose or more. For example, utilize fold-away tables that you can stow away when not used, especially for kitchens.

Many kitchen islands double up to a large communal dining area. Such versatile furniture is sleek and boasts clever storage solutions. Multi-function furniture such as ottomans, kitchen carts, mobile worktops, and concealed storage benches help homeowners to utilize space. They fit in aesthetically with the nouvelle décor of your condominium very beautifully.

No doubt, condominiums may exude a regal-like aura, but do not let space constraints deter you. Given the real estate boom, property prices have soared too high. Such a scenario calls for smart living options and condo apartments are quite a convenient choice. Switch to your creative self and you can elevate an apartment’s appeal even further. Architectural “quirks” are innovative avenues for extra space, like oddly-shaped closets, window nooks with seating, or built-in bookcases and cabinets.

Homeowners can give their condo a comprehensive look and feel by implementing the abovementioned tricks. It will make condo units look more significant than they are. Some homeowners are empty nesters whose children are probably all grown up and living abroad. These couples wouldn’t need much space. For these people, smaller spaces wouldn’t really be a minus because, on the flip side, the luxurious amenities and safety provide a satisfying comfort in their aging days. Comfortable luxury home and the heart is happy and contented.
