Tips to Make the Most Out of your Condo Living in Singapore

Living in a condo at the heart of the city has its perks—a lifestyle upgrade because of its accessibility to everything you could possibly need, less worries about maintenance issues, as well as feeling completely safe and secure. However, one little drawback could be the limited space as opposed to having a real house, but that shouldn’t be any problem at all! Here are some tips to maximise your available space and transform your condo unit into a grander, airier home!

• 1.       Mirrors

Mirrors trick the eye into making any room appear larger than it is. You’ve surely seen small boutiques or cafés utilise mirrors as their walls, creating an illusion of extended space. If you are not keen on mounting mirrors onto your walls, you could mount it onto the doors of your bedroom wardrobe which usually runs from floor to ceiling such as those created by the Skyline Condo Singapore for its residents. This way, it doubles as a vanity mirror when dressing up.

• 2.       Open Shelves

Open shelves create a sense of airiness as opposed to closed cabinetry that cramps up spaces. Also, remember the rule of interior designers, to not fill a display shelf completely, and leave a 10% breathing room to avoid visual clutter.

• 3.       Make Rooms Multi-task

Designate rooms for several purposes. For instance, a condo such as Skyline Residences Singapore offers units in a 3 bedroom + 1 Study configuration. The study could be used as a home office, temporary closet, storage space for sports equipment, or an area for craft projects or homework. One full bedroom could be used as a guest room, a laundry room, or a walk-in closet.

• 4.       Make Use of Vertical Space

When hanging art or putting up shelves, maximise all available vertical space to create an illusion of a tall ceiling, as it draws the eye up, making your home feel larger than it actually is. A slender floor to ceiling bookshelf or open shelving working their way up would be a great addition to any condo, freeing up a great deal of space on the eye level.

• 5.       Hang Curtains from Top of Ceiling

The skyline residences price or any other similar development’s price is a fairly reasonable one, but you can make your condo unit seem more expensive and luxurious with this simple trick! Just like how you see it in hotel rooms, hang curtains just a little bit near the ceiling down to the floor to create a lengthy illusion that exudes grandeur, making the room appear taller and larger than it actually is.

• 6.       Furniture with Exposed Legs

Bulky furniture cramps up a small space and results in eye sore. Choosing furniture with exposed legs makes any space airier because you can see the surface underneath.

• 7.       Multifunctional Furniture

Invest in furniture that serves several purposes. A bed frame with drawers underneath and open shelving by the headboard can create a lot of extra storage space for clothes and other knickknacks. An ottoman or a bench at the foot of your bed can be used as a chest to store away shoes or other important things.

The two takeaways for making any unit more spacious is creating an optical illusion and de-cluttering, which are all illustrated by these tips! These are just a few of the many things you can do to maximise and enhance whatever space you have and to fully enjoy condo living in the heart of Singapore!
