Project furnishing: custom-made rugs on the Costa Blanca

Why choose complete guidance?

In a home in Spain, flooring, window coverings, furniture, lighting and outdoor spaces 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 safeguards cohesion and 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 we move on to colour and style. An interior should not only look good in the first photograph, but also withstand real everyday life.

Survey and interior plan

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

The plan divides choices into logically connected components. Anything that needs to be handled first for technical or delivery reasons takes priority. This way, you do not discover on the day the floor is installed that a cabinet cannot fit through the door or that a curtain rail clashes with the air conditioning.

Flooring as the foundation

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

Skirting boards, transitions and laying 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

Window coverings control privacy, light, atmosphere and part of the thermal comfort. Large sliding doors require different solutions from bedrooms or narrow tilt-and-turn windows. Fabric, pleat, rail, operating side and mounting surface are selected and measured together.

Interior and exterior sun protection can complement each other. A curtain completes the room, while a screen helps keep heat out before it reaches the glass. We prevent separate systems from requiring the same fixing space, cable route or operating area.

Furniture, rugs and layout

A good layout starts with circulation routes and proportions. Sofas, dining tables and beds need to fit without making the room feel cramped. We consider seat height, comfort, sightlines, door swing and the connection with 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 calls for robust, low-maintenance choices and straightforward operation. For rental properties, replaceability, cleaning and broad appeal also matter. This does not mean everything has to be boring or cheap; it means that every euro serves a purpose.

If you are not in Spain all the time, we clearly document decisions, measurements and the schedule. Access and key management are agreed in advance. Photos and updates are useful, but we preferably 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 rails must be completed at the right time, and deliveries require sufficient clear storage space. We plan realistically around lead times; bespoke work does not happen faster because you call angrily about it every day.

At handover, we check installation, operation and visible finish. Any outstanding points are recorded. This keeps it clear what is complete, what remains to be done 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 makes it possible to adjust specific elements 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. Allowing for unforeseen structural issues prevents the final room from being abandoned because the entire contingency has already been spent on decoration.

Common mistakes

The biggest mistake is ordering separate 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 rail 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 optimistic delivery time. Projects require decisions, production, transport and installation. We prefer to work with a feasible schedule and clear dependencies rather than a fairy-tale date that everyone has to explain later.

From the first conversation to a complete home

1. We discuss the home, its use, style, schedule and budget.
2. We collect drawings and measure the relevant elements.
3. You choose materials and products as a cohesive whole.
4. We document the quotation, schedule and responsibilities.
5. Delivery and installation follow the technical sequence.
6. We check the handover and any remaining points.
