Furnishing on a Budget in Barcelona

Written by Michael

If you are buying or renting an apartment in Barcelona, you may get something that does not come with furniture or maybe even something that does come fully decorated but whose style doesn’t match your own.

Furnishing and decorating are very fun activities, regardless of the size of the space you need to fill. When you get to pick your own furniture, you can let your creativity go wild and pick and choose until you end up with the perfect bedroom or apartment.

Go shopping for your furniture in Barcelona without having to empty your wallet and you will discover just how exciting the process can be!

Where to buy cheap furniture in Barcelona

Ikea

Ikea is a staple in what comes to affordable home furnishing. This amazing Swedish company offers everything from pillows and blankets to faucets, tables, lamps and even plants – both artificial and natural!

The Ikea stores are famous for their gigantic size and brilliantly developed maze-like corridors which make the customers have to walk through the entire store to get to what they need, which gives them the opportunity to see and buy things they didn’t even know they needed.

There are two Ikea stores in Barcelona, both of which are open every day of the week except for Sunday, from 10 am to 10 pm.

Address (L’Hospitalet de Llobregat): Avinguda de la Granvia, 115-134  
Address (Badalona): Polígon Montigalà, Luxemburg

Pikeando.com

If you are on a very tight budget and want something even cheaper than Ikea, then a good option is to spend some time browsing the website Pikeando.com. This is basically a second-hand portal for people who want to sell previously-owned Ikea furniture at cheap prices.

On this website, you will find a variety of items along with the original links to the Ikea website so that you can compare and check out dimensions and other relevant information about the products.

One of the great aspects of this website is that you can choose to look for furniture that is available in the region that you live in, like Málaga, Tenerife, Valencia, and of course, Barcelona.

Take your time exploring the many gadgets and kitchen items offered on the first floor and then make your way down the round corridor, passing the furniture showcases, down to the artificial plants, candles, carpets and paintings section.

Deko Palace offers both a combination of rustic and modern furniture which can be tailor made for you. Deko Palace is open from 10 am to 9 pm from Monday to Saturday.

Address: Avenida Diagonal, 458

Milanuncios

One of the most popular websites to sell and buy things online in Spain used to be Segunda Mano and Vibbo. The website changed its look and name to adapt to modern, edgy times, and is now known as Milanuncios.

At Milanuncios you can not only find furniture at reduced prices, but also look for other things you may need like electronics, clothing, vehicles, apartments, and even services like dog walking and babysitting.

  • wow… what an amazing sofa set with unique and marvelous design. The color combo of white and orange is really very amazing. I love such type of furniture very much.

  • Agree that decorating is a fun thing to do. Moreover it was done to decorate our own home. The one I like to get all the decoration and furniture needs is Ikea. Many options are offered there. Also, there is other reference to get furniture and all your home decorations at ruwette.nl/bedden; Their choices are very diverse and you can buy online with the best quality.
