Complete home furnishing: during renovation on the Costa Blanca

Why choose complete guidance?

In a home in Spain, flooring, window coverings, furniture, lighting and outdoor areas often involve different suppliers. Without central planning, incorrect measurements, duplicate trips and products that literally get in each other’s way can result. One point of contact ensures cohesion and the correct sequence.

We start with function: who uses the home, permanently or temporarily, are there children, pets or rental guests, and how much maintenance is desired? Only then do colour and style follow. An interior should not only look good in the first photo, but also withstand real everyday life.

Survey and interior plan

We collect floor plans, photos, measurements, handover information and details of existing elements. In the home, we check floors, windows, doors, sockets, light points and circulation routes. In new-build properties, we assess which decisions can be prepared before handover.

The plan divides choices into logically connected components. Whatever must come first for technical or delivery reasons is given priority. This way, you do not discover on the day the floor is installed that a cabinet will not fit through the door or that a curtain track conflicts with the air conditioning.

Flooring as the foundation

The floor determines colour, acoustics, maintenance and the appearance of all rooms. We assess the existing subfloor, levelness, moisture, build-up height and connections to doors. We then compare PVC, vinyl, laminate and carpet, among other options, based on use and technical suitability.

Skirting boards, transitions and installation direction are part of the same decision. Also view our flooring on the Costa Blanca. A realistic schedule allows time for preparation, levelling and curing when required by the chosen system.

Window coverings and sun protection

Window coverings provide privacy, control light, create atmosphere and contribute to thermal comfort. Large sliding doors require different solutions from bedrooms or narrow tilt-and-turn windows. Fabric, pleat, track, operating side and mounting surface are selected and measured together.

Interior and exterior sun protection can complement each other. A curtain finishes the room, while an external screen helps keep heat out before it reaches the glass. We prevent separate systems from requiring the same fixing space, power route or movement zone.

Furniture, rugs and layout

A good layout starts with circulation routes and proportions. Sofas, dining tables and beds must fit without making the space feel crowded. We consider seat height, comfort, sightlines, door swings and the connection to the terrace or balcony.

Rugs bring zones together and improve acoustics. Their size is matched to the furniture arrangement rather than chosen as a separate decorative island. Colours and materials are preferably viewed alongside the flooring, fabrics and wall finishes in the actual light.

A second home or holiday home

A home that is unoccupied for part of the year requires durable, low-maintenance choices and straightforward controls. For rental properties, replaceability, cleaning and broad appeal also matter. This does not mean everything has to be plain or inexpensive; it does mean that every euro should serve a purpose.

If you are not in Spain permanently, we record decisions, measurements and planning clearly. Access and key management are agreed in advance. Photos and updates are useful, but we prefer to assess important material and colour choices using samples or a clearly agreed reference.

Planning, delivery and installation

The installation sequence prevents damage and remedial work. Floor preparation comes first, painting and tracks must be completed at the right time, and deliveries require sufficient clear storage space. We plan realistically around delivery times; made-to-measure work does not happen faster because you call angrily every day.

At handover, we check installation, operation and visible finishing. Outstanding points are recorded. This keeps it clear what is complete, what is still to come and who is responsible.

What determines the budget?

The budget is determined by floor area, number of rooms, material level, amount of bespoke work, furniture, accessibility and installation. We distinguish between essential basics, comfort improvements and luxury choices. This allows adjustments to be made without dismantling the entire design.

A complete quotation is more valuable than a low individual product price. Check whether measuring, transport, installation, subfloor work, disposal and adjustment are included. Setting aside a reserve for unexpected structural issues prevents the final room from being compromised because the entire margin has already been spent on decoration.

Common mistakes

The biggest mistake is ordering individual products too early. A sofa can be beautiful and still block the circulation route; curtains can be perfect and still be impossible to hang because the track position was never checked. The Spanish sun is also often underestimated when it comes to colour, heat and fading.

A second mistake is basing the schedule on the most favourable delivery time. Projects require decisions, production, transport and installation. We prefer to work with a feasible schedule and clear dependencies rather than a fantasy date that everyone later has to explain.

From the first conversation to a complete home

1. We discuss the home, its use, style, planning and budget.
2. We collect drawings and measure relevant components.
3. You select materials and products as part of a cohesive whole.
4. We record the quotation, schedule and responsibilities.
5. Delivery and installation follow the technical sequence.
6. We inspect the handover and any remaining points.
