When it comes to living situations in Toronto and Richmond Hill, condo living is considered one of the most popular, alongside apartment living. Living in a condo has a wide number of advantages, such as the amount of space you are given, public swimming pools, gyms, parking, maintenance and much more. Condos located in the inner suburbs usually have around 1000 square feet, so you will want to be sure that you get a condo renovation done in the best way possible. 

When you are looking to spice up your outdated condominium, there are a number of ways you can do so. Here at Home Renovation Plus, we have come up with a few things to consider when transforming your condo space. 

Make Sure Your Designs Are Consistent 

It can be easy to get carried away when renovating your living space; you want to be sure that all of your designs stay consistent, however. This will ensure that the aesthetic you have chosen for your space matches all the other rooms in the condo. We recommend choosing a colour palette for your renovations and sticking to it in order to stay on track. Not only will this come as a benefit to you and the guests visiting, but it will also increase the overall value of your space as well, making it less stressful to sell if you ever come across that decision. Sticking to a coherent design also makes renovating much easier, as you are not reaching for things outside of the base design. 

Look Into The Reason Why You Want To Renovate 

Are you upgrading in order to raise the value of your condo? If so, it is important to focus on the areas that matter most. Bathrooms and kitchens are both spaces that, if renovated with updated designs and technology, can increase the value by a significant margin. If you are renovating simply to make the space for you and your loved ones more comfortable, it is important to keep in mind that this is a long term investment that will pay off for many years to come.  

Consider Open Concept Designs 

When you have a limited amount of space, it can be difficult to design a room that looks spacious. Luckily, there are a couple ways to design that will make your condo look more roomy. 

• Paint your walls with a light colour. You know when people say they feel like the walls are “closing in on them”? You can avoid this by painting your walls with a light colour. This colour illusion will make your walls look like they are spaced out, rather than closed in together. 
• Add hanging lights over your kitchen island. This design technique will not only make your kitchen look updated and stylish, but it will also increase the overall look of space in your kitchen. 
• Use the same colour palette and flooring throughout the condo. When your design stays consistent, it will make the condo appear more spacious.  

Stay Flexible 

Oftentimes, condos and apartments will have certain restrictions and what you can and cannot do. Making structural changes is not allowed as those changes affect the rest of the building. If you stay flexible, however, you will be surprised at just how many things can be altered. The size of a room can be altered by moving interior walls or repositioning doors, for example.
