How Do You Furnish Your Spanish Holiday Home?

If you are lucky enough to have recently purchased a Spanish holiday home you may be struggling to decide how best to furnish and decorate it. You don’t want to replicate the home that you live in for the rest of the year, but you want it to feel homely when you are spending time there. In this article, we are going to look at home to furnish your Spanish holiday home and keep it homely.

Don’t forget the personal touches

You don’t need to go too over the top with the personal touches but you can include photos from holidays and perhaps some gifts that you’ve bought over time, and this will help keep it different from your main home. If you plan on letting the holiday home out, you might want to consider what photos you do have on display. You can always keep them stored away and then bring them out when you return. This way you have the best of both worlds.

Choose the colour to suit the location

How do you choose the colour of the decor for your holiday home? The perfect way is to match it to the location. You might like to play on the Spanish terracotta vibe. You could go for terracotta tiles, or just have accessories with hues of orange and brown.

Palm trees and white beaches make you want to have a light and airy home and this is easy to achieve when you know how.

You may feel a little overwhelmed and that you need some help. If this is the case, interior design in Marbella is available for expats to make the best of their home, so it’s well worth engaging with a designer who can help you achieve your dream home.

Choosing the right furniture

You won’t necessarily want the same kind of furniture in your Spanish holiday home that you have in your home in this country. If you are going for the light and airy theme then you will want your furniture to match this.

For example, Estepona is a beautiful whitewashed Spanish town and to carry on the vibe of the town into your home, you are going to want the furniture to represent this. Furniture in Estepona is available to buy alongside some fantastic interior design services. So you don’t necessarily have to buy furniture in the UK and have it shipped out. Buying local furniture will give your holiday home the real Spanish vibe you are looking for.

One final tip…

To make your Spanish holiday home really feel like you’re going home everytime you visit, consider filling the wardrobe. You don’t need to double up the existing wardrobe you have at home, but by keeping the key pieces there, imagine the ease of travelling. You’ll never need to pay for hold luggage again — and it’s a great excuse to go shopping!
