Then, on that same list we can order by priority, first the essential parts (bed, dining table, chairs, sofa, TV table, a shelf...) and then those that are less necessary. If we don't have the whole budget at the moment, we can buy the essentials first and add the rest little by little.

  • Visit second hand stores If we have not been able to get them for free, there is the option of visiting the second-hand furniture sales establishments, outlets or markets that offer you a very attractive price and good quality.
  • The portals are also a great option, such as Wallapop, Vibbo, eBay, etc.
  • If there is no luck with any of the furniture in these ways, you can also try crear tus propios muebles. Nowadays, the recycling of materials has become a very important issue, taking advantage of the circular economy to recycle materials and get creative can help us to create original and very beautiful furniture.
