Common rooms in a strata / condo building are important because they provide shared spaces for residents to gather, socialize, and enjoy amenities. They enhance the overall living experience and contribute to a sense of community. Research reported by Science Direct indicates the following:

“The findings related to the satisfaction of community spaces in condominiums conclude that overall satisfaction has a possible influence on the frequency of interactions, duration of staying in community spaces and on the level of satisfaction in living in a high rise apartment.”

Meanwhile, additional research confirms that strata properties with attractive common areas generally experience higher occupancy rates, both for owners and rental tenants.

To summarize, the proven benefits of common room interior design upgrades include the following:

Increased enjoyment and satisfaction of occupants and their guests.
Increased resident pride for where they live.
Provision of better working environments for strata staff (security, concierges, et cetera).
Enhanced accessibility, safety, and wellness when interior design upgrades improve and/or widen pathways/entryways, increase lighting, enhance ventilation, and remove obstructive barriers.
Decreased noise pollution when interior design upgrades improve upon acoustic issues that impact resident suites that are adjacent to or near common areas.
Increased occupancy rates (due to all of the above).
Enhanced public relations and perceptions of strata building ownership group.
Increase in resale value of strata building.
Increase in rental value of individual units.
Increase in resale value of individual units.

Considering all of the above, investment in an interior design upgrade for common area/s makes great sense.
