Does your condo need to be updated and get a fresh new look? Since space in a condo tends to be limited, using it efficiently and creatively is essential. The following are some of our best condo design ideas to give your home a brand-new look and feel this year.

1. Improve the Floor Plan

One problem that many condos suffer from is having a floor plan that gives the space a cramped and cheerless feeling. Removing walls and re-doing the floor plan can do wonders for your condo to give it more of an open and spacious feeling.

2. Add More Windows

Adding more windows is another way to make your condo feel cheerier and roomier and provide more natural light as well. Upgrading your windows can also help to reduce your utility bills.

3. Establish Individual Areas

Instead of using doors and permanent partitions for all areas, you can mark transitions to various parts of your condo using things like hinged screens so that you don’t break up the overall flow of your floor plan and design. These screens can also be removed if you want to change your floor plan, so they provide a lot more flexibility compared to walls.

4. Maintain Your Flow

Having a light-filled and open floor plan allows several members of the family to use a space at the same time, someone can be eating, another can be reading or watching a movie, etc. This means you will be using the space in your condo more efficiently.

5. Transform A Bedroom Intro A Multi-Functional Area

If you have a two-bedroom condo, then there is a lot that you can do with that “extra” room. Instead of having a guest room, turn it into a multi-functional space that will get more use.

Perhaps you can still have a guest room, but have it double as an office space. You can add a desk, chair and shelving to the room, along with a bed and dresser for guests. Or you can add a corner desk, install a folding desk or use furniture that also serves as storage as a work surface. Your second bedroom can also be used for a home gym or for many other purposes depending on your needs and interests.

6. Upgrade the Fixtures and Woodwork

After your floor plan is set, you can add architectural details to provide the interior of your condo with added interest. For example, you can install hardwood floors or attractive bath vanities and kitchen island so that your condo has an interesting look instead of the run-of-the-mill one that so many condominiums suffer from. It is amazing what a difference it can make to simply change fixtures and hardware on cabinets.

7. Add Some Luxurious Elements

Having heavy trim and casements around doorways and windows, along with elegant baseboards, adds polish to the room, while other elements like bold light fixtures and louvered shutters create a living space that feels more like a single-family home rather than an ordinary condo.

8. Add Interesting Texture and Color

Your condo can definitely go beyond flat white walls. For example, you can incorporate natural-tone furnishings and wood elements for a warm tone. Or even go with bold colors like red to make your condo truly stand out. Or opt for a pastel theme by incorporating pale pinks, oranges, and blues.

9. Experiment with Your Design

Along with using different colors, you can also experiment with using various textures. Things like rustic furnishings, natural-fiber rugs, and fabric wallpaper can provide your condo with depth and richness to enhance your overall design and ambiance.

10. Always Be Thinking Outside of The Box

To have a truly unique condo design that really stands out you need to think outside of the box. This can involve using unusual patterns, colors, textures, or decorative features and more. For example, you can use one color family and then mix it with feminine florals, or classic strips or bold geometric designs. Find interesting pieces of art or other features to use as focal points to give your overall design more interest. The sky is really the limit when it comes to a unique condo design.
