Condo Interior Design: How You Can Maximize Your Living Space

By Jacob Walker


In the past years, condominiums have been a favorite type of residence of many small families and young professionals in Asia. It is because living in a high-rise building offers more convenience and safety to any homeowner. Moreover, living in a condo unit reflects a modern and urban lifestyle which is often a priority of many city dwellers.

Usually, condominium units are already furnished so before moving in, you only need to buy additional furniture and appliances that you need. Most condo units are also built with that modern look or style. Still, you can incorporate your own interior design concepts to turn your condo unit into a truly livable space.

Prioritize Functionality And Style For Your Condo Unit

In countries like Malaysia and Singapore, a regular condo unit normally has a limited floor area. Usually only important rooms such as bedroom, living room, toilet and bath, and kitchen and dining area are the ones you can find in a condo unit. Due to smaller space, you need to be wise in making use of the extra space for your other stuff. To save space, choose furniture pieces that serve two or more purposes, like a foldable bed. Multi-purpose furniture can also help make your space both stylish and functional.

Since your abode has a limited space, you can also expect storage problems particularly if you have plenty of things to keep. This is where your resourcefulness and creative skills come handy. You can use floor-to-ceiling shelving to store all your books if you have a huge collection. Then you can use the space below your bed to store your bags, shoes and other personal items.

When it comes to interior design Malaysia homeowners prioritize functionality. The usual condo interior design in the country is modern and urbanized. It means using antique and bulky furniture in your condo unit may not be a good thing to do. Instead, you have to invest in furnishings which are functional or minimalist in style so you can save that much needed space. Of course you need to buy furnishings that complement the color of your paint or wallpaper to create harmony in your condo unit.

  1. it would be good if you chose furniture that can do more than just one purpose. That would not only save you space; it would also save you some cash!
