How to Furnish a New-Build Apartment in Higuerón West

Developer plans are drawn before construction. Columns, radiators, sockets, sliding-door tracks and ceiling bulkheads move. A measured survey after handover — or at the last site visit before it — is the only reliable basis for ordering furniture and joinery.

Record socket and light positions at the same time, because they decide where beds, sofas and dining tables can go.

Pendant positions, wall lights and dimming are cheaper to change before furniture arrives. Full-height glazing facing the sea needs a plan for glare and heat: sheer curtains for daytime, blackout in bedrooms, and tracks fixed to the ceiling rather than the frame.

Curtains and blinds often have the longest lead times of any soft furnishing, so they should be ordered early.

A furniture package — a coordinated set of furniture, lighting, textiles and accessories — suits owners who want the apartment ready quickly, often for rental. A designed interior adds bespoke joinery, custom furniture and material changes, and suits owners who will use the apartment themselves for long periods.

Both work best when priced as one schedule, so the budget, lead times and deliveries can be seen together.

In Higuerón West the terrace is often the most used space. Outdoor furniture, shade, planters and lighting should follow the interior palette and be specified for sun, salt air and wind.

Check community rules on awnings, planters and screens before ordering anything fixed.

Access, lifts and loading times in the developments limit how deliveries can be made. Consolidating orders into one or two installation days — with assembly, hanging, styling and removal of packaging — avoids weeks of partial deliveries.

Finish with a walkthrough and a short list of outstanding items so the apartment is complete when you arrive.
