Different Color Schemes for Your Small Condo Space in Manila

Mar 20, 2016

Living in a small condo space in the city need not be boring. Why not try to design and decorate it according to your personality to make your living space one big art project that reflects who you are.

Here’s a quick guide to different color schemes you can try for your own condo unit.

The Green Office                      

Home offices are no longer considered as a luxury , but rather as a necessity for everyone. As a result, people are naturally looking for ideas to help them design workspaces that are both functional and attractive. It's crucial to make your WFH setup feel like your own, just like any other room in the house, by exhibiting your unique tastes and favorite colors, no matter how big or tiny it is. And this is where the green color comes in to play. Not only is it a popular color in the world of decor, but it's also a great choice for your office. To create a tone-on-tone design, go green from top to bottom, add lots of foliage, paint a bookcase, or use a range of complementary shades to achieve a tone-on-tone effect.

The color green helps promote fresh ideas, induce focus and refreshes one's mind. You can choose a lighter shade of green for that coziness in a space feel and replicate this look with a soft green hue that will still reflect natural light.

You can also make your condo office nature-inspired by bring the outside in and make your space vibrant and refreshing with some easy-to-maintain indoor plants.


The Orange Dining Area 

Orange is a high-energy, fun, and friendly color, making it ideal for the space where we share meals with family and friends. Orange exudes self-assurance. However, for those who lack the confidence to experiment with this daring color in their own homes. If you choose a lighter shade of orange, it will quickly turn pastel. To achieve a more sophisticated (and dining room-worthy) light orange, choose a color that contains some brown, such as the first and third paint colors shown here.

The color orange promotes social interaction, inspired by the combination of energy from the color red and the cheerfulness of the color yellow. Orange also stirs enthusiasm and a sunny disposition which lead to happy conversations while enjoying hearty meals with friends and loved ones. 

To get a more sophisticated-looking and dining area-worthy light orange, pick a hue that has some brown in it. Make it work by keeping the other colors in your condo space light and neutral. Try to limit the number of attention-getting dining accessories too so as not to make the space look overwhelming.


The Blue Bedroom 

Blue represents sincerity, calmness, and reliability. This color expresses inner security and confidence and promotes mental and physical relaxation - hence, the perfect color choice for one's secluded retreat.

The bedroom is the most private part of the house where we all seek peace and re-charge after a long exhausting day.

Blue is also the color of the spirit, which promotes contemplation and prayer. It reduces stress and quiets the nerves, the same calmness we feel whenever we look at the cloudless sky.

Try designing your bedroom to flow from the blue and white palette to softer tones of aquas and creams.


Lavender Living Room

Lavender, which is a mixture of purple and white inspires selfless love and encourages sensitivity and compassion. The same hospitable way we welcome guests into our living rooms.

Try to use greyer tones for furniture and brighter ones for clothes and lighter ones for the walls. This can be further improved by adding fuchsia or scarlet whether it be in the form of a frame on the wall or cushions.


The Yellow Kitchen

The color yellow stimulates the left side of the brain which is its creative hemisphere. It is the color of new ideas.

Having a yellow kitchen boosts one's creativity to come up with new recipes. Yellow brings about clarity of thought as it helps us focus and recall information.

You will find many colors that look great with yellow. Try it with splash of blue or green accent pieces to balance out the scheme. A grey background pulls the bright shade back for a more sophisticated look.


Black Bathroom

Often it's lighter colors that are advised in tiny areas, but it proves that deeper colors can have the same space expanding effects. Bold pattern can also be a game changer in the bathroom – it can be difficult to know how to bring character and personality into a space that has to be so functional, but bathroom wallpaper is a simple way to do just that.

When it comes to interior upgrades, the bathroom is frequently overlooked, becoming an afterthought in the grand scheme of one's home. Black adds a serious metropolitan edge to an otherwise innocuous necessity for those who view the bathroom as a sanctuary and chance at some well-earned luxe pampering. A black bathroom, from sink to shower, reflects the person who takes his self routines seriously.
