I got called for a client that just purchased a high rise condo on the north west side of the strip. It is always fun for me to get to go into these higher cleintele locations and see just what is out there waiting for me. This couple just wanted to keep things simple, two maybe three colors. And that is what we did. But it gave me some other thoughts for those that might have their own project like this.
So below are the five tips I came up with if you or someone you know has the opportunity to enjoy the view from above. Hope you will pass them on 🙂
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.
