An interior design project is the detailed design and planning of the decoration and operation of an interior space, with the objective of improving its functionality, aesthetics and ergonomics.

What is bioconstruction?
Bioconstruction is a discipline within the world of architecture that seeks to integrate the building into the environment. To achieve this, construction techniques adapted to the environment are chosen to generate the minimum impact on the landscape and, of course, on your own organism.
What does it mean that you make sustainable spaces?
I base my assertion on five principles:
- You, as a customer, are always at the center of everything.
- I care about the environmental quality and the space around you.
- The materials used will always be respectful of you.
- I look for the interior design, functionality and ergonomics of the space I will create for you.
- Respect for the environment is present in all my work.
What is sustainable construction?
It is one that seeks energy savings throughout the life cycle of the material. It aims to reduce the polluting emissions associated with these materials and to reduce the environmental impact throughout their life cycle. And of course, recycled resources can be used or can be recycled in the future.

What are interior design moodboards like?
They are collages of images, colors and textures, whose main function is to summarize an idea in a visual way. They help me to define the style of your project and allow me to capture the different elements so that your room is functional and balanced.

Frequently asked questions about payments and returns:
How expensive is an interior designer?
No, it is not. Remember that an interior designer is a tailor who tailors your home to fit you perfectly. With an interior designer your home will always reflect your style. With a renovation company it is very difficult to achieve this, I don't want to deceive you.

How can I pay for your on-site services?
In this type of projects, I work by bank transfer.
How can I pay for your services online?
As in the case of face-to-face services, you have three possibilities: bank transfer, Paypal or Bizum.
Can I pay in installments?
Depending on the service you have contracted, I will present you with a payment plan detailing the payments.
In face-to-face services, payments are usually divided into: 50% at the beginning as advance payment, and the rest will be agreed upon in different percentages until the work is completed.
For online projects, the payment is a one-time fee.
How long does a refurbishment last?
First of all, I gather all the necessary materials, and once I have them all available in the warehouse, we start the work to minimize delays. To give you an idea, a bathroom renovation can take a week and a half.
Can I live at home even if I am doing a partial renovation?
It all depends on the size of the project. For example, if you have two bathrooms, it is feasible to continue with your day to day life because we will do one and then the other. At the end of the day, we take care of cleaning surfaces to make it comfortable for you to be at home.
What can I do if I am not happy with the result?
In a face-to-face service I am in constant communication with you during the whole process, so we can always talk about all the aspects that concern you. I like to keep you informed of everything while we have the project in hand.
Think that everything will be planned, agreed and budgeted from the beginning with you.
In an online service, as in the face-to-face one, I will be in contact with you before and during the presentation. And of course, there will be a follow-up afterwards.
