Interior Design — How To Decorate A 2-Bedroom Condo For Under 10k

Discover how designer Natalie Chong furnished a young couple’s two-bedroom, two-bathroom home for $10,000. Get her budget condo decorating ideas for adding style and personality to a space, while creating a gender-neutral design aesthetic.

Natalie kept function and finances top of mind throughout the design process. She painted the bottom half of the wall in the long entryway in a durable dark navy hue as a less expensive (and non-permanent) alternative to wainscotting. In the living room, a rug acts as a room divider between the kitchen and dining area. Despite the small space, Natalie was able to fit a six-person dining table and a pop-up desk in the corner. A black wall in the hotel-like master bedroom offers drama, while mini dressers work as night tables with ample storage. The guest room will be a nursery one day, so Natalie kept the design simple and used affordable pieces that can easily be replaced.

    Why is necessary to have a so heavy&big dinning table in a so thiny space ? Are they receiving guests 335 days/ year ? Or just 30 days/ year ? She say it. " We can squeeze 3 people on the bench". Key word " squeeze". A foldable table , seems to me, much more appropriate for a small place. You can use it when is necessary, but that allows to keep the space & flow open.They have a only 3 places sofa &one armchair to sit , but a 8 places dinning table. Go figure !

    I just don’t like the black lampshade on black wall in the master bedroom. Maybe white lampshade for color contrast.Other than that, you really did an amazing job.

    This is good. It doesn’t look cheap even though it was on a budget. That takes skill.

  9. Raheela Shirazi on December 8, 2020 at 9:51 pm

    Awesome

  10. Suzana Behmer on December 8, 2020 at 9:51 pm

    I love that you add green plants around. It looks beautiful.

  14. Ayesha Noelle on December 8, 2020 at 9:59 pm

    She’s such a great interior designer! 😍 I would love to see more of her work. It looks like a cosy home and elegant at the same time. And I love that she used budget products

  15. Pierre van Wyk on December 8, 2020 at 10:01 pm

    Very nice! I love the way it works.

  16. x zhou on December 8, 2020 at 10:02 pm

    Sexy condo

  18. Sooz T on December 8, 2020 at 10:04 pm

  19. The Brightest Rainbow Ever on December 8, 2020 at 10:05 pm

    Awww! I hope they do. That would be sweet project.

  20. Compte Prive on December 8, 2020 at 10:08 pm

    FINALLY!! I’m a 35 year old male and I’ve spent a week on youtube looking at interior design ideas as my wife and I look to re-design our living room and dining room. Everything skews female and I was looking for something more gender-netural and this is jackpot!!

  21. PureUnwindASMR on December 8, 2020 at 10:08 pm

    not a fan of her work when all put together, but in many cases the individual pieces are so great.

  22. Antoinette Daniels on December 8, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    Awesome job….I’m a designer and I think she made me rethink Ikea…and smaller budgets.

  23. Toujours Toujours on December 8, 2020 at 10:11 pm

    We do not need the designer for this! To waste money !

  24. Unicorn 0000 on December 8, 2020 at 10:12 pm

    Can you imagine if something falls down whilst asleep 😴 oh no

  25. Grace Madejski on December 8, 2020 at 10:13 pm

    It would have been nice to hide the picture light cable. Doing so much with a small budget is impressive.

  26. Melody Liscano on December 8, 2020 at 10:15 pm

    Love the master black wall! Also, the second bedroom. Can I ask where you purchased the white bed linens?

  28. Sumida Ryogoku on December 8, 2020 at 10:21 pm

    Wow..she’s really able to stretch the money !! 10K is actually a really small amount of money to buy furnitures and such. Kudos !!👍

  29. Alter Ego on December 8, 2020 at 10:21 pm

    IKEA

  30. Pipay Po on December 8, 2020 at 10:22 pm

    Everything is nice, except for the bed. That’s a small bed for a couple for me. I’m single, and I prefer king sized. Haha.

  31. Hermès Lover on December 8, 2020 at 10:24 pm

    So beautiful, I loved the design, she can come and design our house ❤️.

  32. Maen M. on December 8, 2020 at 10:25 pm

    Props to her for taking on the challenge of 10k and even going under budget.

  33. Steven Laput on December 8, 2020 at 10:25 pm

    so impressive, kudos to you! the best…….

  34. Tricia Low on December 8, 2020 at 10:28 pm

    This condo looks so expensive and chic using affordable and down to earth furniture and decor! I am super impressed! An A+ from me!

  35. dlghtfl1 on December 8, 2020 at 10:29 pm

    This designer is such a little snob. "I was given ten thousand dollars …. and that is practically nothing." What a terrible dig at her clients. They deserve better.

  36. LISLOVESTRUTH on December 8, 2020 at 10:29 pm

    So much later and this still remains one of the BEST low budget fitouts that ive seen EVER

  37. Fabian Yu on December 8, 2020 at 10:30 pm

    Guess they don’t watch TV

  38. Kwentong Pambata on December 8, 2020 at 10:31 pm

    👍👍

  44. Yin Yang on December 8, 2020 at 10:35 pm

    I just have one issue , maybe it’s my own fear but having gladd frames on a shelf over the bed is a big no no for me …
    but I loved the living and entryway 👍

  45. Bryce F on December 8, 2020 at 10:35 pm

    need more color

  46. rana mt on December 8, 2020 at 10:35 pm
