Condo living can be a game-changer. They typically have all the amenities you can dream of or can come ready for move-in. 

Most times, condos have a wonderful layout and furniture ready for you to use. While the luxury of having a condo home all ready to meet your needs, you can be a little picky with how you go about making this place your own style. 

If you are on a tight budget and need advice, getting in touch with a realtor to help you find a condo in your area that meets your personal needs can help you find the perfect space to delve into your creative home interior ideas. 

However, sometimes, we don’t notice the small details in our space that we want to change until we’re stuck seeing them everyday. There definitely comes a point for most condo homeowners where the space needs a change. 

Here are 5 ideas that you can do easily to change the look of your space: 

1. Change the flooring 

Sometimes, something as simple as a flooring finish can really change the look and feel of the space. It’s not as complicated as it sounds and usually only takes approval from the admin first before and then picking the right flooring. 

You can choose from engineered wood, tiles, or hardwood floors. You may also consider prefinished hardwood flooring that can be easily installed on top of your existing floor. This is a great option for those who want a quick and easy upgrade without the mess and hassle of ripping out the old flooring. The different colors can bring out different aspects of your apartment and set the tone. Dark flooring can be great for making a room look more formal, but lighter flooring can brighten the look of a room. In the long run, this can even help you sell your condo to the next buyer. 

2. Change the bathroom fixtures

No one - from the condo owner to the plumber - wants to take out pipes for a bathroom renovation. It can be quite the hassle and pretty expensive to tear everything apart in your bathroom. 

While it doesn’t change the layout of your bathroom, minor changes like changing the fixtures in your bathroom can make all the difference. It can be pretty easy to replace the fixtures of your bathroom sink and your shower head. Maybe you can finally make all of the fixtures match so that your bathroom looks complete. 

3. Change out appliances

A simple way to make your condominium look new is changing out the old with the new, like newer appliances. Sometimes, especially if you moved into a condominium, you might not get those newer appliances that fit modern styles or might be mismatched. You can make your entire kitchen look more cohesive by simply changing out a few items like a toaster and a coffee maker to match your countertops. 

4. Change the paint on your walls 

Maybe you just moved into your condominium and you didn’t have time to think about what you wanted to do with those barren walls. After you put up a couple of pictures, everything looks pretty good - for the time being. But after a while, you notice how the color from the last owner doesn’t really suit your furniture or even your own style. 

Maybe this would be the time to get your own paint and set the tone for each room. Warmer colors typically make a larger room look smaller, whereas cooler tones make a room seem bigger. You can also look into color psychology and how different color paint affects a person’s mood, energy level, or even hunger. 

5. Change window coverings 

Do your windows currently don’t have any coverings or maybe they have shades that don’t match the rest of the room? 

Bold drapery has become a new fashionable style for condominiums, especially for windows with large windows that let in a lot of light or have a great view. It draws attention to the window and what’s going on outside while also adding a layer to the room’s style. You can even add a different frame to hold these drapes to make the room look more together.

There are multiple things that you can do to make the design in your condominium your own. While most places are ready to be lived in, there’s an opportunity to make your new home look more your own.
