Whether you’re in the process of buying a condo or are already a proud owner, there’s something to be said about updating your space to ensure it matches your needs and personal style. No room is more important to consider for a refresh than your bedroom: not only is it the most private space in your condo, but it’s also meant to be a room for rest and relaxation.
5 Steps to Designing Your Condo Bedroom
As you approach these changes, keep reading for five steps to designing your new condo bedroom.
- Start with a design quiz. Before you begin planning or purchasing anything for your bedroom, take a moment to consider what your personal style actually is. Do you gravitate towards a modern look, or are you more bohemian? Are you maximalist or minimalist? Take a style quiz online, and pay attention to the design-oriented social media accounts you follow – both of these clues will help you create a style framework to operate in.
- Consider your budget. Depending on the level of updates you’re hoping to make, changes to your space can get pricey (especially if they involve work that you outsource, like painting or re-wiring). Knowing your budget before you begin will ensure you make the updates you want without breaking the bank.
- Sketch your layout. Play architect and draw the layout of your room, including your bed and any existing furniture. Try your best to draw things to scale, and use a couple of sketches to “rearrange” the room so you can understand how pieces will fit together without actually having to physically move anything. This is an especially important step if you’re planning on buying new furniture!
- Start with the big pieces first. Create your to-do list starting with the biggest changes first, such as any painting or big furniture. These bigger changes set the aesthetic tone for the rest of the room: by making these changes first, you can make sure that the rest of your decor matches.
- Hone in on personal touches. Since your bedroom is such a personal space, make sure that you’re incorporating pieces that are unique to you, such as photos, books and nostalgic items.
