Spanish decoration shops in Barcelona

• Zara home: here you will find decoration, dishes, linens as well as small items of furniture and rugs at reasonable prices (around 30% cheaper than in some other European countries).
• Pilma: This fairly high end Barcelona chain offers a wide range of stylishly designed furniture.
• Casa viva: With a more classic style than Zara home, Casa viva focuses a little less on decorative accessories, and you will find more linens, dishes, small furniture, kitchen accessories and a terrace section for barbecues.

Stylish design decoration shops in Barcelona

• Jaime Beriestain: a shop that combines attractive furniture, accessories, tableware, books on the art of living…and a café/restaurant with a unique decor that’s difficult to resist!
• Mar de cava: somewhere between a shop, studio and gallery Mar de Cava is actually a showroom where brands and collections are arranged in an ephemeral style. The items range from furniture to gadgets but what they all have in common is an original and considered design style and a unique history.

• Cubiñá: Like Vinçon, Cubiñá is more than just a simple boutique as it’s located in the Casa Thomas, a sublime building by Domenech i Montaner (like the Sant Pau hospital).  And the furniture sold here is worthy of the surroundings!
• Doméstico: all the design classics of the 1960s are found here. A timeless atmosphere fitting of Mad Men!

Large furniture, DIY and decoration shops in Barcelona

• Ikea, Leroy Merlin, Conforama: these big names are located in the Montigalà area, after Badalona. Another Ikea is accessible by bus (nº46, which goes to the airport), on the Gran Via de L’Hospitalet.
• Servei Estació: this is a DIY, decoration and creative hobbies shop in the city centre right near the Passeig de Gràcia. It is more expensive than those in the suburbs but it can save you a lot of time. It has a car park for customers that’s free if you spend more than 10 euro in store, but be warned, it’s not easy to access.

Happy shopping!
