1. What Is My Primary Purpose for the Property?
Start by identifying the purpose of your home. Is it a holiday retreat for you and your family? An investment property you plan to rent out? Or is it your new permanent residence on the Costa del Sol? Each purpose has different demands when it comes to furnishing.
For example, a second home may require durable, low-maintenance furniture, while a rental property needs furniture that is both stylish and resilient to appeal to short-term tenants. A primary residence might focus more on comfort and personalisation. Understanding your property’s purpose will guide you in selecting a furniture pack that fits your lifestyle.
2. How Customisable Is the Furniture Pack?
Not all furniture packs are created equal, and customisation options can make a significant difference. Before buying, ask how customisable the furniture pack is. Are you limited to a fixed selection of items, or can you choose from various colours, fabrics, and finishes?
At BellaDesign, we offer customisable furniture packs that allow you to upgrade items like sofas and beds, select from a range of colour schemes, and even offer made-to-measure voiles and tracks to fit your windows perfectly.
3. What Is Included in a Standard Furniture Pack?
Before purchasing a furniture pack, it’s essential to understand what’s included. Typically, furniture packs cover the main areas of your home, such as the living room, dining area, and bedrooms.
At BellaDesign, our standard furniture packs include all the essentials for each room – living room furniture, dining tables and chairs, bedroom sets, and even made-to-measure voiles for your windows. Having a clear idea of what’s included ensures you won’t face unexpected expenses later.
4. Can I Upgrade or Add-On Items?
While furniture packs are designed to be convenient, your needs might go beyond what’s offered in a standard pack. Ask whether you can upgrade certain items, such as choosing a more luxurious sofa or adding outdoor furniture for your terrace. Additionally, inquire about add-on packs for kitchenware, bathroom accessories, or bedroom linen.
At BellaDesign, we offer the widest range of add-on packs on the Costa Del Sol; we offer a range of living room decoration packs and terrace decoration packs, terrace furniture packs, bathrooms packs, bed linen packs and kitchen packs.
These options save you a huge amount of time and you and easily furnish your home to your needs to a really high standard.
5. Can the Furniture Be Adapted to Different Spaces and Layouts?
Every home is unique, and your furniture pack should be adaptable to your space. Before making a purchase, ask if the furniture pack can be tailored to suit your home’s layout and size. Are sofas available in different sizes? Can beds be adjusted to fit smaller or larger bedrooms?
Send us your floor plan and we will help you choose the best layout for you – we also offer made-to-measure solutions, such as custom curtains and voiles, to ensure that your furniture fits your home perfectly.
6. How Does the Delivery and Installation Process Work?
One of the main benefits of purchasing a furniture pack is the convenience. However, it’s essential to know how the company handles the delivery and installation process. Do they manage everything from start to finish, or will you need to coordinate certain aspects yourself?
At BellaDesign, we handle the entire process for you – from helping you select the perfect furniture pack to delivering and installing everything in your home – including first fit lighting if needed. This ensures that your home is move-in ready when you arrive, saving you the stress of handling multiple suppliers and installations.
7. How Long Will It Take for the Furniture to Be Delivered and Installed?
Timing is everything, especially if you’re working with a deadline to move into your new home or get it ready for rentals. Ask how long the entire process will take, from ordering the furniture pack to delivery and installation. This is particularly important for second homeowners or investors who may have limited time in Spain to oversee the process.
At BellaDesign, we work efficiently to ensure your furniture is delivered and installed within a set timeline, keeping you informed every step of the way.
8. What Are My Options for Storage if My Home Isn’t Ready Yet?
If your property isn’t ready for installation but you need to secure your furniture pack in advance, ask about storage options. BellaDesign offers a storage services, allowing you to purchase and store your furniture until your home is ready. This ensures you’re prepared in advance without worrying about delays or logistical issues.
9. What Is the Total Cost, Including Hidden Fees?
It’s essential to understand the full cost of your furniture pack, including any potential hidden fees. While the price of the pack may seem straightforward, additional charges for delivery, installation, or customisation can add up. Ask for a detailed breakdown of all costs so that you have a clear understanding of what you’re paying for.
At BellaDesign, we pride ourselves on transparency, offering clear pricing with no hidden fees. This ensures you’re fully aware of the total cost before making any commitments.
10. Is Aftercare or Maintenance Included?
Finally, inquire about aftercare and maintenance services. Does the company offer support after the installation is complete, such as furniture maintenance or cleaning services? Having access to aftercare ensures your investment is protected and that your home remains in top condition.
At BellaDesign, we offer post-installation services, including deep cleaning and ongoing support, so your home stays as beautiful as the day it was furnished.
