Have you ever found yourself imagining what life would be like once you've moved into your dream condo? Today, I’m taking one of Toronto’s hottest condo developments—101 Spadina—and flipping the script. Instead of focusing solely on the buying process, let’s fast-forward to the fun part: designing your dream space and creating the lifestyle you’ve been longing for.
The 101 Spadina project is making waves for all the right reasons, offering a mix of modern architecture and upscale amenities in the heart of downtown Toronto. But what makes it truly exciting is envisioning yourself living there. Not just buying a condo—but imagining how you’ll transform it into a home that perfectly reflects your style. And that’s where the magic happens.
Picture Yourself at 101 Spadina
Think about it: you’ve picked your ideal floor plan, signed the papers, and the keys are finally in your hand. What comes next? Building your dream lifestyle. This is where I come in—to help you visualize the process of turning your new condo into a space that feels like you.

Breaking Down the Experience
Furnishing your condo isn’t just a logistical task; it’s an opportunity to express yourself. From picking out statement pieces for your living room to choosing the perfect dining set to host your first dinner party, every decision adds another layer to your home’s personality.

Designing Your Space: The Art of Turning Dreams into Reality
Furniture and design go hand in hand with home ownership. Your condo’s aesthetic should reflect who you are, how you live, and the vibe you want to project.

With a bit of planning, the right design approach, and a clear budget, you can turn that fantasy of city living into a tangible reality. The process might feel overwhelming at first, but trust me: with the right inspiration and some determination, your dream space is closer than you think.
So, let’s dive in—because when it comes to 101 Spadina, it’s not just a place to live; it’s a canvas for the lifestyle you’ve always wanted. From interior finishes to budgeting tips and furniture recommendations, I’m here to help you make every square inch of your condo a reflection of you.

Ensure all furniture dimensions work harmoniously within the space.
HOW TO DETERMINE THE RIGHT TV SIZE
Start with the Sofa
Measure the distance from the back of the sofa to the TV wall.
In this case, the distance is 9' - Determine the depth of the sofa.
Sofa Depth: 36"-42" is recommended.
This depth will influence the depth of your media console.
TIP
If your sofa is 36"-42" deep, choose a media console depth of 8"-12"
A deeper console will reduce the clearance between the sofa, coffee table, and surrounding space, making it difficult to walk comfortably.
TV SIZE RECOMMENDATION
Based on the 9' distance from the sofa to the TV wall, the recommended TV size is 55"-65".
TV PLACEMENT TIP
The TV should be mounted at 60" On Center (OC) from the After Finished Floor (AFF) for optimal viewing height.
CB2 ENTRANCE HALLWAY CONDO FURNITURE RECOMMENDATIONS
A well-designed galley-style hallway can give a condo a charming, house-like feel—offering both functionality and aesthetic appeal.
ESSENTIALS FOR THIS HALLWAY
Mirror | Console Table | Artwork | Runner or Rug
TIP
A key rule for hallways: There must be doors leading to other rooms.
In this layout, the hallway connects to Bedroom 2 and the Bathroom—this setup is perfection!
Why?
It creates a functional flow into the living and dining area.
It provides excellent wall space for design features.
HALLWAY DIMENSIONS
Width: 3'-4" (41")
Length: 15'-5" (185")
How do I know this? Trust me—my knack for numbers and measurements is uncanny!
CONSOLE TABLE RECOMMENDATIONS
Maximum Depth: 13"
Length: Ideally half the hallway length, up to a maximum of 72"
All other items—mirror, artwork—will be wall-mounted to keep the floor space clear. This allows the console to fit perfectly without making the hallway feel cramped.

CB2 PRIMARY BEDROOM CONDO FURNITURE RECOMMENDATIONS
Primary Bedroom Recommendations
Recommended Furniture
Queen Bed
Two Nightstands
Mirror
Queen Bed Frame Size Recommendations
While the room can accommodate Double, Queen, or King mattresses, the bed frame size is key to optimizing space. A Queen Bed Frame is the most suitable option for this room.
How We Determined the Dimensions
Interior Bedroom Door Clearance
The door swings open 30" into the room.
This leaves 30"-36" of space from the door's edge when fully open to the nearest part of the bed.
Space from Wall to Bed
Approximately 36" remains from the exterior wall to the side of the bed.
Walking Clearance
At least 30" of clearance is maintained from the foot of the bed to the wall, ensuring comfortable movement around the room.
Bed Frame Dimensions
Maximum Queen Bed Frame Length: 84"
Recommended Width Range: 65"–68"
Maximum Bed Frame Size: 68" x 84"
Note: A frame up to 68" x 90" is possible, but this will reduce clearance at the foot of the bed to just 24".
Nightstand Recommendations
Two Nightstands on either side of the bed
Recommended Sizes: 24"-30" width (maximum)
This arrangement provides an ideal balance of functionality and comfort, ensuring easy movement while maintaining a cozy, well-furnished space.
