INTERIOR DESIGN&
FURNITURE PROCUREMENT

From empty rooms to fully furnished, ready-to-use spaces

WHAT THIS SERVICE IS


We help you fully furnish and style already renovated apartments and villas
so that you (or your guests) can simply arrive with a suitcase.

This service combines:

  • Interior design for spaces that are already built or recently renovated;
  • Furniture & FF&E procurement (furniture, lighting, textiles, decor);
  • Logistics & coordination from mainland suppliers to your property in Madeira, the UK or Croatia.

You get a coherent interior concept, a realistic FF&E budget and a team that actually
orders, receives and installs everything on site.

WHO IT’S FOR

This service is ideal for:

  • Overseas owners on Madeira, UK, Croatia
    who have a finished apartment or villa but no time to choose and coordinate all the furniture.
  • Busy clients in the UK and Madeira
    who want a higher-than-average interior, but don’t want to manage dozens of suppliers on their own.
  • Investors and hosts preparing rental properties
    who need a fast, coordinated fit-out that looks great in photos and works in daily use.
  • Clients with “almost finished” projects
    where construction is done, but the space still feels empty and unfinished without furniture, lighting and decor.
WHAT YOU GET
  • A clear interior concept for each room (style, colours, mood).
  • Optimised furniture layout for your existing plans.
  • Curated furniture, lighting and decor selection from European brands and local makers.
  • A realistic FF&E budget with options by price level where needed.
  • Full procurement support: we prepare orders, coordinate suppliers and track deliveries.
  • On-site installation and styling (where logistically feasible) so that the property is ready
    to move in or to rent.

The result is a coherent, comfortable interior that feels intentional, not assembled from random online orders.

PROCESS & TIMELINE
  1. Brief & review of your property
    Online call to understand how you plan to use the space (living / rental / mixed),
    your style preferences and budget.
    You share existing drawings, photos and any constraints (deadlines, building rules, etc.).
  2. Concept & layout
    We develop moodboards and a furniture layout for each room, aligning function, circulation
    and focal points (views, light, key features).
  3. Selection & budgeting
    We propose specific furniture, lighting, textiles and decor.
    You see an indicative budget per room and for the whole property, with alternatives where useful.
  4. Procurement & logistics
    We prepare order lists, liaise with suppliers, arrange deliveries from mainland Europe or local sources,
    and coordinate the schedule so items arrive in a controlled way.
  5. Installation & styling
    Where feasible, we supervise or personally oversee installation, placement and basic styling.
    You receive a final photo/video overview and a checklist of what was delivered.

Typical timeframe for a standard apartment (80–150 m²) is 6–10 weeks from concept approval
to full installation, depending on lead times and shipping.

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU

To work efficiently and avoid delays, we ask for:

  • Good existing information
    Plans with dimensions, photos or a short video walk-through of the property.
  • Clarity on use & priorities
    Is this mainly for your own use, guests, or rental?
    What matters more to you: durability, aesthetics, speed, or budget?
  • A realistic budget range
    Even a window (for example: “We are comfortable with 20–30k € for furniture and decor”)
    helps us select the right level of brands and solutions.
  • Decision structure
    Who makes final decisions and how quickly can you respond to selections and changes?
  • Access & contacts on site
    A local contact (if available), building rules and any specific delivery constraints
    (elevator size, loading hours, etc.).
BUDGET & FEE


We work transparently with both FF&E budgets and our
design / procurement fees.

  • For higher-than-average interiors on Madeira, typical
    FF&E budgets for furniture, lighting and decor start from a certain level per m²
    and go up depending on brands and level of customisation.
  • Our interior design fee for this service is usually in the range of
    8–12% of your FF&E budget, depending on scope and complexity.
  • Our procurement & coordination fee (ordering, logistics, supplier communication)
    is typically 10–18% of the FF&E budget, depending on how many suppliers and shipments
    are involved.

In practice, for full turnkey projects, combined design + procurement fees usually sit in the
15–25% range of the FF&E budget.

We always confirm a target FF&E budget and a
clear fee proposal after the brief call and initial review of your property,
before you commit.

WHY IT MATTERS


Furnishing a finished property seems “simple” until you start comparing hundreds of options,
checking dimensions, dealing with out-of-stock items, scheduling deliveries and solving problems on site.

This service helps you to:

  • Avoid expensive mistakes
    Wrong sizes, poor ergonomics or pieces that simply don’t work together are far more costly
    than a coordinated design process.
  • Save weeks of your time
    We handle the research, shortlisting, ordering and communication with suppliers.
  • Use your budget strategically
    Some items need to be premium, others can be “smart compromise”.
    We help you decide where to invest and where to save.
  • Leverage trade access and local knowledge
    We work with a mix of trade suppliers and local partners
    so you’re not limited to what you see in one or two showrooms.
  • Get to “ready to use” faster
    Instead of a property that slowly fills up over months,
    you get a clear path to a fully furnished, photographable and functional interior.
DELIVERABLES

Depending on the chosen package, your deliverables may include:

  • Interior moodboards for each room or zone.
  • Furniture layout plans with key dimensions.
  • 3D visualisations or styled views for main areas
    (living, master bedroom, key focal spaces).
  • A structured FF&E schedule (furniture, lighting, textiles, decor).
  • Shopping / order lists with specifications, models, finishes and quantities.
  • Order and delivery plan, including responsibilities and dates.
  • Final photo/video overview of the completed interior (where feasible).

Every project finishes with a short written summary of what has been installed and any future
recommendations (for upgrades or seasonal items).

FAQ

Do you work only on Madeira?

We are based in Madeira but also take on selected projects in the UK and Croatia, and occasionally
in other locations where logistics make sense. The exact scope depends on how much we can coordinate
remotely and what local support is available.

Can you work with my existing furniture?

Yes. We can integrate key pieces you already own, re-plan around them, and then complete the interior
with new items. In some cases we propose a phased replacement plan.

Do I have to buy everything through you?

For our Full and Turnkey packages we normally coordinate procurement to control quality, lead times
and consistency. For an Essential / design-only package, you can use our shopping list to order items
yourself.

What if my budget is limited?

We can adjust scope and brand level to your budget, but we will always be honest if your expectations
and budget don’t match. It is better to clarify this at the start than to compromise quality too much.

Can you help if I’m not in the country?

Yes. Most of our projects involve remote owners. We work via video calls, shared folders and messaging,
and coordinate on-site work with local partners and contractors.

High-end interior design with bespoke furniture and lighting for a diplomatic residence

Why this Interior Design & Furniture Procurement service matters

Furnishing a finished property looks simple from the outside – you “just buy furniture”.
In reality it’s weeks of decisions, deliveries and small mistakes that quickly turn into
significant extra costs and delays, especially when you manage a project remotely in
Madeira, the UK or Croatia.

It doesn’t increase your project cost – it optimises your budget

Many clients assume that hiring an interior design and furniture procurement team
will make the project more expensive. In practice, a coordinated, turnkey approach almost always
saves money and time.

  • We work inside your overall FF&E budget
    We help you define a realistic furniture and decor budget and then allocate it
    intelligently between key pieces, “workhorse” items and accent elements instead of buying
    impulsively room by room.
  • We leverage a wide supplier network across Europe
    Because we work with a large pool of manufacturers and brands, we can combine higher-end and
    mid-range pieces without losing the overall quality and feel of the interior. This makes our
    turnkey furnishing packages more efficient than retail-only shopping.
  • We optimise logistics and consolidate orders
    By combining shipments and planning deliveries from mainland Europe to Madeira, the UK or Ukraine,
    we reduce duplicated transport costs, rush orders and last-minute fixes that quickly eat into
    your budget.
  • We prevent costly mistakes
    Wrong sizes, poor-quality items, uncomfortable seating, colours that clash or furniture that
    simply doesn’t work together are far more expensive than a coordinated
    interior design & furniture procurement process.

High-level design expertise, applied to your project

Our interior designers have extensive experience on projects at the very top level – including
properties for royal families, diplomats and embassies. This means:

  • A precise understanding of how high-end interiors need to function in everyday life,
    not just in photographs for rental listings or sales brochures.
  • A refined approach to proportions, comfort, acoustics and lighting that is hard to replicate
    through DIY online sourcing or a single local furniture shop.
  • The ability to turn a very demanding brief – or almost no brief at all – into a clear,
    coherent interior concept and a practical furniture package that is ready
    for living or for premium rentals.

This phase is where we turn a technically finished property into a complete product – a home or
a rental asset – through turnkey interior design and furniture procurement,
without overspending and without losing time on trial-and-error.

Who typically uses this service

We see the same patterns across projects – this
Interior Design & Furniture Procurement service is especially valuable for:

  • Overseas owners on Madeira
    Clients who have a finished apartment or villa on the island but live in another country and
    want a turnkey furnishing solution instead of managing dozens of suppliers,
    deliveries and site visits themselves.
  • Busy clients in the UK and Ukraine
    People with limited time and high standards, for whom it makes more sense to delegate the
    entire interior design and furniture procurement process than to spend weeks
    coordinating it on their own.
  • Investors and hosts focused on rentals
    Owners who need fully furnished apartments and villas that look strong in photos, are durable
    in daily use and can start generating income as soon as possible.
  • Couples and families with “almost finished” homes
    Projects where construction is done and the space is technically complete, but still feels
    empty and unfinished without a structured furniture, lighting and decor concept.
  • Remote owners & family offices
    Clients managing multiple properties who want a clear package: design concept, FF&E budget,
    consolidated orders and a documented list of everything that has been installed by our team.
