Top 10 Must Haves for Condo Living

Top 10 Must Haves for Condo Living

Condo living is a little different than living in a house, especially when it comes to the holidays. Having a 7-8 foot Christmas tree in a home may look perfectly normal, however in 500 sq feet, it may be a little uncomfortable. So, here are top 10 things that you should invest in to make condo living in Vancouver a little more comfortable, and albeit, luxurious!

1. A Small Christmas Tree – Since we were on the topic of Christmas trees, in July… a great addition to condo living is a half Christmas tree. These will take up much less space, while still being festive, and cost much less money. These smaller Christmas trees can be purchased at Canadian Tire, Home Depot or a local Christmas Market.

2. Rolling Cart – In a home having a large TV set may be perfectly normal, however in a Vancouver condo, this is a different story. You will be thankful when you invest in a rolling cart. This can be used as your TV stand as well as storage that can be rolled away to make more space.

3. Murphy Bed – You may be thinking that Murphy beds are out of style and not something that you want to invest in, however I beg you to give this a thought. Just like technology has advanced over the years, so have Murphy beds. This doubles up as a sofa, bookcase and is super stylish!

4. Mirror – This is a simple yet effective way to add space to your home. Having mirrors create the illusion that a space is bigger, so the more mirrors, the better!
