Cool Space Saving Ideas for Cute-sized Condo Units

Condos for sale in Manila are getting smaller. This was pointed out by a news article way back in the second quarter of 2015. According to online property dealer Lamudi on BusinessMirror online, “the sizes of condominium units in Metro Manila are decreasing.” It is a blatant solution to the shrinking landmass of the “Capital City of the Philippines.”

Metro Manila’s land is not actually shrinking. This is because of the factors that make it “shrink” such as its current population which is over 12 million as of 2014 and still increasing. The widening of roads and building of bridges has made the city accommodate vehicles and malls, condos, and other structures are sprouting left and right.

These factors are sign of progress but it also makes Metro Manila “shrink.” Condominiums are getting smaller but they also tower taller as well. It seems there is no other way but up.

“If you can’t beat them, join them.” A popular adage says. In other words, if we can’t put a stop to it, might as well adapt to the current situation.

The first thing you must figure out is if you really want a condo. You must convince yourself that a condo is the perfect housing unit for you. It must fit your lifestyle and budget, must be near your current work/school location, and will ultimately end up as practical. If a resounding “yes!” is your answer, we will give you some tips to help solve your “small” issue. How can you squeeze yourself in a cute-size condo? These quirky furniture ideas might help you:




Shelf + Table + Chairs

You can have all of these in one set. This is a novel design by Orla Reynolds Studio called “As if from nowhere…” Yup, as if from nowhere, a complete dining set is conjured from a bookcase. Watch it to believe it:






Sofa + Bunk Bed

At daytime, you may sit on it while you watch your favorite series. At nighttime, it transforms into a bunk bed. We are familiar with single bed designs but this one leveled up. Order it from bonbon.co.uk website.






Chair + Bookcase

You don’t have to reach the upper row of a shelf to get a book anymore; you can just take it out from under this comfy chair! The Hollow Chair is an awesome design by Straight Line Designs, Inc. Must. Have. This.

Sofa + Dining Table

This is a cool design by Julia Kononenko called the Convertible Sofa. Instead of a bed, you can transform it into a mini dining set. Think Japanese.



Four Chairs

Having impromptu guests over? This is the piece of furniture for you. Transform this supposedly single chair into four. Get it from puurdesign.nu.


The one word you should keep in mind to make the most out of your condo unit? Maximize. Use every wall and corner of your unit to the fullest. Never waste a space no matter how small it is.
