The three best tips on how to furnish your condo interiors

Interior design as an art form has only been around for a shorter time than most people realise. Unlike other art and design forms, which have been around for perhaps centuries or even thousands of years longer, professional interior design firms only rose to prominence around the 1700s, even though the practice has been around for centuries before that. Even then, interior design has branched into many different styles, lending incredible diversity in the looks and aesthetics of many houses and buildings. Nowadays, the work of interior designers can be found everywhere, and their influence is obvious when you take a stroll through the streets of Singapore.

While building and house interior design get much of the limelight, there are other spaces that benefit from the use of interior design principles. Retail spaces also benefit from interior design, as do offices-- interior design is based on maximising functionality as well as aesthetics, which make it incredibly useful when designing work and store spaces.

And there are other residential spaces when we think about how interior design can be useful. For example, condominium units and apartments benefit greatly from good interior design.

Condominium interior design and how it differs 

Today’s world is one that prioritises space efficiency above all else. As more and more people congregate into cities, smaller living spaces have become much more commonplace. Apartment and condo renovation or interior design requires creative application of space to maximise usage while being aesthetically pleasing to the homeowner or occupant. There’s no better place to see this modern trend than in Singapore, a highly urbanised city where rent is steadily climbing and house prices are at an all time high.

Learning how to apply interior design principles to condominiums

There’s no “one size fits all” when it comes to designing condo layouts. Due to the sheer differences in sizes and shapes for condo interiors, it can be difficult to determine how to furnish your condo. But there are a few tips that you can use to help you furnish your room.

1. Choose a theme or style. There are many colours, decor, and furnishings available for you. Picking a theme will help you narrow down your list of choices and establish a scheme to work with.
2. Use your limited space wisely. Space looks bland or boring? There are many tricks you can use to spruce up your space. For example, well-placed mirrors can help your space look bigger. Multi-purpose furniture can maximise your space.
3. Clearly define zones in your space. This will help you figure out what kind of furnishings go in which space.
