Fill your holiday home in Spain quickly and easily

If you have finally got the keys to your new holiday home in Spain, getting out and enjoying the sun will be your top priority – and rightly so!

You’ve probably spent months in the drizzle of the UK dreaming about siestas on your sunbeds and BBQs on your new patio while loved ones relax in the pool.

You probably haven’t been thinking about traipsing around large furniture shops, budgeting, comparing sofas in Spain, and generally missing out on precious moments in the sunshine.

But now you have the keys, this might be exactly what you are facing – unless you can shop smarter!

Find out how to fill your Spanish holiday home simply and without the fuss!

Does Spanish property come furnished?

Just as with properties in the UK, homes in Spain can either come furnished or unfurnished.

However, as part of the purchase, you should ensure a full itinerary is taken to see exactly what you will find when you arrive and avoid disputes later down the road.

This is helpful in many ways, as you:

• Will already know what you need – so you can prepare and budget accordingly
• Can make a much shorter shopping list
• Could order ahead of time for delivery when you arrive
• May be able to suggest buying some of the current furniture – the seller may not envision their current furniture fitting into their new property, so they might be interested in selling it to you for an often reduced price.

Once you know what is – or isn’t – included, it’s time to start shopping.

Buying Spanish holiday home furniture

If you are eyeing that shopping list and want to get it boxed off, it’s time to shop.

Traditional furniture shopping

Some really big names can be found in the UK and Spain, including IKEA and Zara Home, providing simple and very familiar shopping options.

Otherwise, you could look in large department stores, smaller high street options, and also local markets, which occur once or twice a week in most towns.

Benefits and considerations of shopping in this way

• Shopping can seem more familiar and less stressful
• You should be able to find pretty much everything you need
• It will take longer
• You’ll probably spend more – especially if you are paying for delivery on top

Spanish furniture packages

But there is an easier, faster, and more economical alternative – shopping for furniture packages!

Companies like Furniture Express offer packages or collections of furniture in Estepona, Spain that all coordinate, are delivered on your chosen day, and then professionally installed, leaving no packaging behind!

Benefits and considerations of furniture packages, Spain-wide 

• You can complete your order from the UK and get it delivered after you arrive in Spain
• Everything will coordinate or match and contribute towards improved flow and the feel you are imagining
• It can be far cheaper
• You can swap and add items depending on what you need most
• Any size property can be furnished – from a house with only a few unfurnished rooms to completely unfurnished new constructions
