The type of abode you choose directly impacts your ideal lifestyle, productivity, and overall wellbeing, so your peace of mind needs a dream home that serves as a haven for productive indulgence. Here's how best to go about it.
Regardless of whether you're a digital nomad co-living with other tech-savvy creatives or a millennial couple with a growing family, an aesthetic and functional apartment is the ideal solution for all of your 'adulting' concerns. From minimal maintenance burdens and financial restraints that free up time for holistic living and career-building to being part of a self-sustaining community blessed with avant-garde amenities to optimise safety and productivity, it's small wonder that top-notch apartments close to commercial hubs are experiencing a boost in demand. Listed below is a diverse selection of customisable mini-abodes to suit your unique requirements.
Studio apartments are a great option for those living alone and on a limited budget, as their bright and airy layout maximises open space where all living accessories, from bedroom and living room to kitchenette and dining, are conveniently on hand. What's more, a few tasteful pieces of furniture are all that you require to make the space feel 'complete' and home-like. This type of apartment has variations, which include the alcove studio with its cosy bedroom nook allowed by an L-shaped partition, and the convertible studio that is spacious enough to partition off a secondary space like a bedroom. It's important to note that a studio will come with a separate fully-fitted bathroom attached.
These dreamy high-ceilinged abodes are ideal for inspired brainstorming as you have the liberty of space exclusively for creativity above your normal living quarters, whether you repurpose your loft into a bedroom, office, or multi-purpose chillout spot. While still technically a one-room apartment, you get to enjoy an abundance of wall space and natural light doing wonders for your décor.
While this type of apartment is not the most sought-after due to its 'train-car' of rooms opening from one into the other, this open-concept space is often more economical while also presenting an authentic (if a bit quirky) multi-functional vibe. For instance, by being creative with your use of this surprisingly spacious abode, opting for sleek furniture and floating shelves, you can make use of more square feet than you paid for!
Despite its tiny square footage, micro-living offers great practice in living a mindful and economical lifestyle at the heart of the exciting city. This leads to a less stressful life with minimal expenses and maximum productivity in a sweet, uncluttered space.
Typically, a one-bedroom apartment offers a separate bedroom and bathroom leading off the kitchen and living areas. This type of arrangement is for those who value their privacy such as couples, roommates, or people who often host guests from out of town. If you're looking for sophisticated Colombo apartments sporting first-class amenities such as modern and minimalist fittings, venture no further than Cinnamon Life.
Apartments with two (or more) bedrooms have plenty of additional versatile space to personalise and host as many guests and family members as you wish. From walk-in closets to sweeping kitchen islands to feature sumptuous spreads, there's endless opportunity for class and convenience. In commercial hotspots like Colombo, picking a suitable roommate is a great way to enhance cost-effectiveness.
