In a condo, space is often at a premium, so the living room usually has to serve multiple purposes. Many Malaysians use it as a space for work or study, as well as for relaxation and socialising. Practicality aside, the living room is the first room that visitors see when they enter a condo home. As such, it’s important for the living room to have an aesthetically pleasing and welcoming design.Here are some condo living room design ideas to consider:
1. Create a focal point: Go for a main piece of furniture or artwork that will be the centrepiece of the room. This could be a majestic TV wall, a stunning sofa, statement artwork, or an eye-catching rug.

2. Use colours: Decide on a colour palette for the room, and choose furniture, decor, and accessories that complement those colours. You can start with a neutral scheme and enhance the space with pops of colours.

3. Maximise natural light: If your condo has large windows, make the most of them by letting in as much natural light as possible. Opt for light, sheer window treatments to maximise the view and natural light.

4. Optimise space: If your condo living room is small, get furniture that is multi-functional, such as a sofa bed or an ottoman with storage. You can also create a cosy nook as an adhoc workspace. This will help you make full use of the space and keep clutter to a minimum.
