costs

How much does it cost to furnish a property in Spain?

Furnishing costs in Spain depend heavily on quality and property size.

Budget furnishing using stores like IKEA, Conforama, or Leroy Merlin: 1-bed apartment: €3,000-€5,000, 2-bed apartment/townhouse: €5,000-€10,000, 3-bed villa: €8,000-€15,000.

Mid-range from Spanish furniture stores: 1-bed: €5,000-€10,000, 2-bed: €10,000-€20,000, 3-bed villa: €15,000-€30,000.

High-end/designer: significantly more.

Key items to budget for: beds and mattresses, sofas, dining furniture, kitchen equipment, white goods (if not included), outdoor furniture for terraces, curtains/blinds (essential for Spanish sun), and electronics.
