However, if you have multiple changes or want a wider selection it may be frustrating to jump between specialty stores.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here is a short guide to help you navigate your <strong>hardware shopping<\/strong> options!<\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_17 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-grey\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class=\"ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1\"><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/home-improvement\/#Local_and_Specialty_Shops\" title=\"Local and Specialty Shops\">Local and Specialty Shops<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/home-improvement\/#Department_Stores\" title=\"Department Stores \n\">Department Stores \n<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/home-improvement\/#Still_Need_More\" title=\"Still Need More?\">Still Need More?<\/a><\/li><li class=\"ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2\"><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/home-improvement\/#Installation_and_assembly\" title=\"Installation and assembly\">Installation and assembly<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_and_Specialty_Shops\"><\/span><strong>Local and Specialty Shops<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img class=\"wp-image-70085 size-medium alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Hardware-Store-300x225.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/>If you need a quick repair or smaller renovation, a good place to start with is your local bazaar, where you can get the basic tools, glue, screws, and even some bathroom and lighting fixtures. If you need a wider selection or some power tools you can go to the local <strong>hardware stores<\/strong> <em>(ferreteria).<\/em> For specialty items like lighting <em>(luz)<\/em> or flooring <em>(pavimentos),<\/em> you may find one near you as well. You can try a quick Google search, yet your best bet is to ask a local or look around your neighborhood.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Department_Stores\"><\/span><strong>Department Stores<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019d like a variety of <strong>hardware<\/strong> supplies, lighting supplies, power tools, furniture, and more you can try either <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/carrefour.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Carrefour<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/hipercor.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" class=\"broken_link\">HiperCor<\/a>.<\/strong> These <strong>department stores<\/strong> also have sections for bedding and products for your car.
