Made-to-measure furniture in Playa Lisa, Santa Pola

“The reason for ordering a made-to-measure bookcase was simple: we wanted to support a large book collection without making the whole wall feel heavy. The solution was not simple, though. The team did not assume that every home in Santa Pola was alike; they checked our actual walls, light and access. We were given two sensible routes, with the cost difference explained, and chose without feeling rushed. They did not promise that the first sketch was perfect. The second version was much better because it reflected how we actually use the room.”

“A friend recommended that we ask about under-stairs storage. We sent phone photographs and explained that we needed to turn changing depths into useful drawers and accessible cupboard space. We could discuss the first version remotely, then confirm the points that genuinely needed checking at the Santa Pola property. The first answer was concise and told us exactly which measurements would be useful. We appreciated being told where a more expensive option would add little to everyday use.”

“A fitted wardrobe sounded simple until we looked at the access and the existing services. We wanted to use an awkward recess for long hanging, drawers, shoes and luggage. Because the room is in Santa Pola, we asked specifically about storage for seasonal equipment; it was covered in the proposed sequence. Those constraints were dealt with in the drawings, so fitting day was calm and well organised. They did not promise that the first sketch was perfect. The second version was much better because it reflected how we actually use the room.”
