Simple decoration ideas for your affordable condominium



Bria Condo offers bigger floor area compared to the usual condominium sized for studio units. We claimed our studio unit as one of the biggest studio unit in Cagayan de Oro with a total floor area of 24 sq.m. and the most affordable studio unit as well. Given the total floor area, the floor layout is also much spacious compared to other studio type condominiums in CDO. Owning a condo unit in Bria Condo lets you choose between studio-type or a 1 bedroom room type—depends on your preference.


One of the most exciting aspects of having a condo unit is deciding how you want to decorate it. It is not necessary for your condo to be large to be attractive. You also don't need a lot of money to make something lovely. We all know that condominiums have a smaller floor space than house and lots, therefore everything should be kept in one place—living in a condominium is living in a minimal way. If you want to have a well-designed and well-outlined home you may opt to hire an interior designer to do all the magic in your condo, but if you wanted to have a more personalized space for you then you can do the “DIY-concept.


May it be DIY or with the help of professional, a home is a representation of your personality. Below are the 8 lists of simple decoration ideas for you to try in your condominium unit:

1. Bookshelf as a Room Divider

Because of the openness of a studio condominium, you might encounter difficulties in creating a clear and defined floor plan. A great way to maximize your space is by installing a bookshelf as a divider for a room. As of today’s trend, many are into easy to install divider or shelves mostly available in department stores.


2. Into the Loft style

If you have a tall ceiling in your condominium, building a loft is the best way to add some additional square footage to your space. Since the start of pandemic, a lot of work opportunities offers Work from home set-up. Since then, many are into loft style design—setting up the loft as their sleeping area and use the space underneath as their working space. Some also put extra drawers underneath the stairs to maximize space.


3. Mirror

Reflections are everywhere—putting on mirror gives an illusion of having a more spacious area. Feature them where you can. Hang them on your walls and doors or lean an oversized mirror up against a wall. It also help the natural light flow more freely. Mirrors may also be a useful addition to a feng shui design. Mirrors symbolize water, and they may assist to balance a room or emphasize its function. A mirror in your foyer may also make your visitors feel more welcome.


4. Make the best use of space

It doesn’t really matter how big or small your space is, you should take advantage of every inch of space available. With build-in cabinets, you can utilize all the corners all throughout your space. You can personalize and customize your built-in cabinets so they make the most sense of purpose.



5. Versatile designs

You need also to find versatile designs if you wanted to buy a desk and a table, buy something that will act both. In really small spaces, have a day bed that can also function as a couch. These ideas create flex spaces where the configuration can change based on what you need it for; such as turning a home office into a welcoming guest room in the blink of an eye.


6. Lighting with lamps

Lamps always give a serene feeling especially at night. Lamps can be mounted on a wall or can be put at the top of your desk where you sit and sip your favourite tea. Portable lamps also are ideal today so can place them anywhere you wanted them to be.


7. Raised Curtains

In homes with thicker walls, small windows might be distracting. Homeowners who lack the financial means to replace these smaller windows with larger ones may choose to do so. Thankfully, placing curtains on windows produces the optical illusion that they are broader and taller, making them appear larger.


When the curtains are draped a bit broader than the windows and as near to the floor as feasible, this effect happens. Homeowners may use this technique to emphasize the breadth and length of a space and create a cohesive aesthetic design in their house.


8. Adds over time

Remember that designing your own condominium is a process that takes time. It's easy to get carried away and order a full furniture set at once—but it is best to start with the basics such us your bed, sofa, dining set and the rest over time. After all, the best-equipped houses are those that keep an original, tailored atmosphere while reflecting the owners’ personalities


Above mentions lists are just a guide for your on how are you going to design your own condominium that will give you the best usage and the best comfort. Later on, designs may be altered from time to time depending on your preference and desire but the most important factor is no matter how big or small your space is or how well the design is as long as you are living with it comfortably.
