Do you own or live in a small apartment or condo in the city?

Small studio apartments are popular for several reasons. One is its proximity to the city centre. For many people who work in Kuala Lumpur, staying in a studio apartment nearby beats a long commute.

Many studios have also been built within reach of LRT or MRT stations. This also makes it ideal for short-term or business travellers.

The second is its relative affordability. For the location, a studio apartment may be cheaper to rent, compared to renting further out and paying for transport charges.

But, there is no denying that a tiny apartment can feel claustrophobic, compared to living in a landed property or larger apartment unit further out of the city.

The good news is that the cramped feeling can be alleviated through clever interior design. Here are 10 small condo interior design ideas in Malaysia to leave you feeling inspired to replicate for your own small home.

 

Benefits of interior design for small studio apartments

Why should you hire an interior designer to improve your studio apartment? There are many reasons, including:

  • Optimal use of space: A studio interior designer can plan out an efficient storage layout. Ceiling height cabinets, mirrored cabinet doors, suspended display shelves; every inch of space can be utilised.
  • Sophistication and minimalism: A well-designed space looks better when it is clutter-free. It’s also easier to create a unified look for the entire unit.
  • Higher rentals: With many studio apartment units available for rent, your unit needs to look good to attract potential tenants at the price you want.
