Top ways to save time when furnishing a whole house
Whether you’ve just purchased your first home in Spain or you are expanding your rental portfolio, furnishing an entire property can seem overwhelming.
There is so much to buy and so many decisions to make – surely there has to be an easier way?
Read on to discover our top tips for furnishing your whole home, with much less fuss!
Start with the essentials
Although it can be tempting to run amok in the shops and look at everything, this is a surefire way to turn furniture shopping into an extended period of stress.
Before you even set foot in a showroom, start with a list (pen and paper or on your notes app) and write down only the bare minimum essentials you or a tenant might need to move in.
This process focuses your thinking and means you will definitely get the things you really need – while also stopping the impulse purchase of fun items you don’t need yet!
Once you have your list in hand, you can start shopping for the furniture you really require.
Think of the house as a whole
Though you shouldn’t try and furnish by thinking of the whole house at once, deciding on the overall style you want is incredibly important – as it means all of the furniture you buy will fit the vibe you are trying to create.
The style you choose will likely be dictated by who will be living in it, something which is also worth considering early on.
Then, the interior design world is your oyster, allowing you to choose between popular design styles, including:
- Scandinavian
- Japandi
- Boho
- Mediterranean
- Country House
- Mid Century Modern
- Industrial
- Bauhaus
- Minimalist
- Traditional Spanish
To name but a few!
Go room by room
Trying to decide on what every room needs can be daunting if you think of the house as one – so it’s much easier to explore your Spanish slice of heaven room by room.
You can do this in a quiet moment somewhere calm or even inside the property as you walk through.
Once in each room, try and consider the furniture you really want in each space that will make it sing – your statement pieces.
Maybe that looks like a giant squishy armchair for your living room, or a stunning sun lounger set for the patio?
Perhaps a king-size bed to fill the centre of the master bedroom or a table root dining table for sophisticated meals with friends? It’s up to you to find the treasures that will make your space feel truly special.
