Did you know that condo interior design can often vary from detached home interior design? This is usually because modern condos offer a more industrial, sleek minimalistic look that detached homes do not.
If you are condo hunting this year or want to refresh your space, here are some of the best interior features of a modern condo.
Just make sure that you check with your condo policy before you make any major changes your unit.
Natural Elements
With more time spent indoors, people have been finding more and more ways to bring the outdoors and nature in. There are many ways this has been incorporated in design features so far this year. Think stoneware, terracotta, and marble for surfaces, furniture, and/or decorative objects. Another way to go about bringing the outside in is to have indoor plants. Not only does the greenery add a sense of refreshment to your home, they also help to improve your mental health!
Sculptural and Curved Furniture
Curves and arches have long been considered retrograde, but they are playful and fun way to reflect a welcoming and cozy home.

Muted Natural Tones
Stepping away from the bright whites and cool greys, warm muted tones such as a creamy beige, a warm brown or an earthy green is on trend in 2022. It perfectly compliments the natural elements and reflects a calm essence to your modern condo.
Mixing Materials and Design Styles
Many of our modern condos have become dual-purpose in the last couple of years. Along with the mixed use of our space, designers have been adopting this trend by integrating different design styles in the same space or within the same furniture piece. Picture a dark and moody room mixed with stainless steel accents and subtle pops of jewel tone colours.
Matte Finishes
High-shine finishes may be common but have you noticed how hard they can be on your eyes? If you want your décor to have a more chic appeal, use matte finishes on your walls, built-ins and cabinets.
High Tech
As design trends change throughout the years, technology also continues to evolve. Transformable furniture, multi-level lighting and hands-free smart home assistants are some futuristic ways to optimize your modern condo.
Bold Patterns and Colours
Another sign of an elegantly designed modern condo are the use of bold patterns and colours. Using large sized patterns in those natural and earthy tones on the kitchen backsplash or bathroom tile will elevate your space.
Up-and-Coming Artwork
Last, but certainly not least – a great way to make your modern condo more modern is by incorporating art that offers perspective from an up-and-coming artists. Let your art bring vibrancy to your space!
