Boards, timber, lacquer and hardware for bespoke furniture

Appearance matters, but so do moisture, cleaning, load, span and repairability. Our recommendation brings those factors together before samples are approved.

The choice is part of the project

The best material is the one that suits the way the furniture will be used

We do not recommend finishing in isolation. The same look may require a different base, edge or hardware depending on the room and frequency of use.

01

Wear and tear

Humidity, heat, shocks, cleaning, load and opening frequency

02

Design and light

Colour, texture, grain, sheen and relationship with floors and walls

03

Maintenance

Ease of cleaning, repair and performance over time

04

Planned investment

We prioritise what adds value to use and avoid unnecessary extra costs

Material families

Options with which we can manufacture

This guide explains the common possibilities. Availability, brand, collection, tone and final specification are confirmed with your project manager

01

Technical melamines

A versatile solution for interiors of wardrobes, kitchens, living rooms and furniture for daily use. They offer a wide variety of colours, woods and textures with easy maintenance

The manager confirms adequate quality, thickness, edge and resistance
02

Lacquered MDF

Allows smooth surfaces, custom colours and machined fronts. It is common when looking for a continuous, matte or satin composition, with greater design freedom.

The type of lacquer and the preparation are defined according to the piece and its use.
03

natural timber veneer

It provides grain and natural warmth with greater dimensional stability than a solid piece. It is suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, offices and projects with a more architectural presence.

We select species, cut, tone and varnish together
04

solid timber

It is used in fronts, structures, mouldings, countertops or details where its resistance and character add value. Its natural performance must be considered from the design

The project manager explains where it makes technical and economic sense
05

HPL and laminates

High resistance surfaces for areas exposed to friction, humidity or frequent cleaning. Available in colours, mineral designs, woods and technical finishes

The specification depends on the room and the support used
06

plywood

Stable structural board with characteristic edge, useful in certain technical solutions, visible interiors and furniture with contemporary appearance

Class, thickness and finish are assessed for each application
07

Glass, mirror and metal

They complement display cases, doors, shelves, dividers and decorative details. They can provide lightness, reflection, transparency or contrast within the same piece of furniture.

Safety, weight, fixing and maintenance are reviewed before defining them
08

Hardware and accessories

Hinges, guides, lifts, sliding systems, lighting and interior organisation determine the operation as well as the exterior finish.

The manager sizes them according to load, opening and frequency of use
Materials advice

How do we arrive at a suitable proposal?

You don't need to know brands or specifications. With photographs, a reference and an idea of use we can begin a practical material review

  1. 01
    We understand the project

    We review the stay, approximate measurements, use, visual references and priorities

  2. 02
    We discard what is not appropriate

    We filter options by humidity, resistance, cleaning needs, weight, light and budget

  3. 03
    We present coherent alternatives

    We explain relevant differences and propose comparable combinations

  4. 04
    We validate before manufacturing

    Finishes, edges, hardware and details are defined in the final proposal

Common questions

What you should know before choosing

The exact answer depends on the type of furniture and the conditions of the home.

Can I submit a Pinterest reference or photo?

Yes. It helps us understand the appearance you have in mind. The manager will translate this reference into materials, thicknesses, finishes and systems that can be manufactured and installed in your space.

Is there a recommended material for the entire home?

Not necessarily. Kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and living room have different demands. We can maintain a coordinated aesthetic using different specifications where necessary

Can I see colours and samples before deciding?

Representative samples are compared once the project has a clear technical and visual direction. This is how we compare truly compatible alternatives and not complete catalogues without context

Does the material change the budget a lot?

It has an influence, but so do the measurements, the number of modules, the fittings, the machining and the fitting. The manager will tell you where it is worth investing and where there is a more efficient alternative

A project grounded in the property

The practical questions behind a project in Málaga

Some projects arrive with plans and a finish schedule; others begin with phone photographs. Both can progress well when the assumptions are made visible early.

01

A brief can be informal

A sketch is welcome, but it is not compulsory. Room photographs, retained finishes and a realistic account of day-to-day use usually reveal enough to separate the immediate need from ideas that can wait.

One useful photograph shows the whole wall; another shows the awkward detail. Together they say more than a tightly cropped inspiration image.

02

Measure the decisions, not every surface

There is no benefit in collecting dozens of dimensions before the furniture has a clear job. We first decide what needs confirming, then measure those junctions carefully.

Where another trade will move a service or finish a wall, the responsibility and timing are written down. Measuring an unfinished condition without that note would create false confidence.

03

Materials need a reason

A convincing sample is one that still makes sense beside the floor, doors and light that will remain. We also confirm what supports it, how edges are finished and which hardware carries the load.

If two options are genuinely equivalent for the brief, we say so. Material advice should reduce uncertainty, not invent distinctions to justify a longer specification.

04

Fitting begins on paper

Floor level, lift size, stairs, parking and tight turns are checked before module sizes are approved. Dividing a piece well is a design decision; discovering the need at delivery is not.

For houses, we may be planning several floor changes. For flats, the lift and corridor often set the practical limit. Neither should be left to the delivery team to discover.

05

The budget follows the agreed scope

A price range is most helpful when it points to a realistic construction level. The final quotation then records the approved materials, hardware, delivery and fitting rather than relying on verbal assumptions.

For a sound material specification, we can identify the decision that drives most of the cost and explain it before smaller choices distract from the total.

06

A useful enquiry earns a useful reply

The aim of the first exchange is simple: give the project a sensible direction without manufacturing certainty that does not yet exist.

If the project is not ready, a clear pause can be the professional answer. It is better than booking a survey that will need repeating after the room changes.
