If you can afford some remodeling, you may want to create a more open floor plan by removing an unnecessary wall between rooms. For example, you can turn the wall between the kitchen and main room into a half-wall and create the illusion of more space. You can also add counter space to the half-wall for more room to cook or eat. Dark colored walls and ceilings can also make a room seem smaller. Decorate your condo in light neutral colors that will make it look bigger and more open. You can add bright, bold colors with the furniture you choose, but keep the walls light. You can also use mirrors to reflect more natural light into the space by placing them opposite from windows. Your unit may be adjacent to another unit, limiting the number of windows available. Using a mirror to reflect the outdoor view will help brighten a space with only one window.

One of the biggest limitations your condo may have is storage space. This is a common Sceneca Residence Condo problem with most units because they do not usually have attics or basements. Instead, you can create more storage by building floor-to-ceiling bookshelves along one wall. You can also purchase furniture with extra storage room, such as a coffee table with drawers underneath. A small kitchen might also lack the appropriate room to store pots and pans, so you may want to install cabinets and shelves along one wall.
