How to decorate a condo without cluttering it

To decorate a condo without cluttering it, use the walls, choose appropriately sized objects, and maintain a clear function for each area. A single, well-chosen focal point is often more effective than several small accessories.

Measure before buying

Note the width of the walls, the depth of the furniture, and the necessary passages. Temporarily mark the dimensions of a painting, mirror, or table with painter's tape to visualize their presence in the room.

Utilize the walls

A painting adds personality without occupying floor space. A mirror can reflect light and create an illusion of depth. Choose a size appropriate for the furniture placed beneath it.

Prioritize versatile elements

Nesting tables can be grouped together and then separated when you entertain guests. An ottoman can add extra seating depending on the model's features. Always check dimensions before choosing.

Limit small objects

• Group them on a tray.
• Vary heights rather than the number of items.
• Leave a part of each surface free.
• Repeat the same color palette in different areas.

Create cohesive zones

In an open-plan area, connect the living room and dining room with a common color. The vase on the table can pick up a shade from the painting or the living room cushions, without all objects being identical.

Choose one focal point per zone

In the living room, it might be a painting; in the entryway, a mirror; in the dining room, a centerpiece. Complement each focal point with a maximum of two or three accents.
