5 Stylish and Creative Ways to Maximize Condo Space

​Space is a prime commodity in big cities. You only need to look at condominium units to realize this truth. Despite these small units, millions of people still opt to live in them due to their accessibility and convenience. Fortunately, you don't have to suffer these cramped spaces. With a little creativity and style, you can maximize your condo space. Here are some ways to go about this: 

​Everything Must Have a (Dual) Purpose
One of the easiest ways to make the most of your space is to ensure that each piece has a purpose or two. For instance, a sofa bed can seat your guests in the morning and become an extra bed for friends who sleep over. Coffee tables that can also be converted to a stool or have extra storage space inside are useful additions. 

Bright is Best
A well-lit room looks spacious and homey. Make sure you integrate a good mix of artificial and natural lighting in your unit. Use sheer curtains to allow sunlight in but also ensuring privacy. You can also utilize lamps. The light from standing lamps or corner sconces will bounce off the ceiling and make it look higher and the room larger. 

Mirrors Make the Illusion More Real
A basic design trick to opening up space is to use mirrors. They quickly create the illusion of more space as they make walls disappear. But don't go overboard with it. A large mirrored wall in the hallway or living room is enough. 

Have Loft-y Ambitions
If you can't expand horizontally, then go vertical. Lofts are good ways of expanding your space. You can use it as your sleeping area or office. It provides much-needed privacy since it's technically set apart from the ground floor. 

N o Need to Bulk Up 
Bulky furniture has no place in condos. Ditch the sofa with large armrests or beds with ornate headboards. Seats that have raised legs are better as they're streamlined and give the impression of height. Choose a floating shelf for a headboard. But if you must have a headboard, make sure it also doubles up as a storage area. 

A condo unit might seem small, but it doesn't have to cramp your lifestyle. Reliable condo insurance will also go a long way to ensure that you live your best life.
