Buying a Property in Marbella? 10 Interior Design Mistakes to Avoid
The costly mistakes usually happen before work begins: buying furniture without a measured plan, accepting a standard lighting layout or starting demolition before the full scope is understood.
01
Mistakes 1–4: starting without information
Do not order from sales plans alone; dimensions often change. Do not choose finishes before understanding daylight. Do not tender incomplete drawings. Do not assume every proposed change is permitted.
02
Mistakes 5–7: treating rooms separately
Avoid furniture purchased one room at a time, storage added after layouts are fixed and terraces treated as leftover space. These decisions need one plan and one palette.
03
Mistakes 8–10: forgetting delivery
Do not ignore lead times, site access or the final snagging period. A room is not complete when products ship; it is complete when everything is installed, tested and the outstanding list is closed.
