Condo design tips, whether you’re just starting out and purchasing your first condo or you’re preparing to retire and downsizing, these design tips can help you achieve a designer look for your new home! – Text by Designer Jacklynn Little

Just Getting Started

Purchasing your first home can be both exciting and overwhelming. With a new mortgage and costs to consider, the design is often a secondary concern but adding your own personal style to your condo is a great way to make it feel like home! Here are some budget-friendly ideas for first-time condo owners.

1. Buy the best sofa and chairs you can afford, in neutral fabrics. It
   will last longer, saving you money down the road.
2. Adding pillows to coordinate with your furniture is an
   inexpensive way to add color and texture.
3. Buy used furniture and repaint it yourself. Always remember to
   use a primer for best durability and finish.

Downsize In Style

When selling a larger family home and downsizing into a condo, you have to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. This can also be an opportunity to take some of your well made pieces and update them to suit your new home. Here are a few ideas to make that transition not only easier but inspire new design as well.

1. If you have a well made but out of date sofa or chair, update
   them with new fabric for a stunning new look.
2. Add new throw pillows that coordinate with the new sofa fabric
   for a sophisticated look.
3. Replace oversized rugs with new area rugs that are the right
   size for your new condo space.
