5 Tips for Redecorating a High-Rise Condo

This week’s inspiration came from helping a power couple redesign their new high-rise overlooking the Las Vegas Strip. They wanted to capture the energy of the city without overwhelming the space — elegant by day, electric by night. Here’s how we did it (and how you can, too!):

Tip #1 Neutral walls let the view shine.
For their living area, we kept the walls by the windows a warm, soft neutral so the Strip lights became the main feature.
👉 Try this: If you have a stunning city view, go subtle on color near the windows — it naturally frames the skyline like a piece of art.

Tip #2 Lighting is your secret weapon.
Their condo had great windows but limited overhead light, so we layered floor lamps, sconces, and pendants to keep things bright and moody when needed.
👉 Try this: Mix lighting sources — ambient, accent, and task — to create dimension and highlight your favorite areas.

Tip #3 Pops of color bring personality.
We used deep navy and gold accents to reflect the nighttime city vibe, adding a playful balance to the neutral backdrop.
👉 Try this: Add bold color through art, pillows, or one statement wall — it keeps things lively without feeling cluttered.

Tip #4 Scale matters — less is luxe.
Instead of oversized sectionals, we chose sleek seating for four and a compact dining table for two that still feels open and inviting.
👉 Try this: Choose pieces that fit your space comfortably — airy silhouettes and smaller groupings keep the room feeling spacious.

Tip #5 Mirror the magic of your view.
We tied in the skyline with metallic artwork that shimmered like the Strip lights at night.
👉 Try this: Select artwork or décor that echoes your surroundings — whether that’s city lights, desert tones, or sky-inspired abstracts.

Let your space tell your story — balance sophistication with the sparkle of the city you love.
