Cover of the guide “Furnishing Your Home in Tenerife”

The deed is signed and the keys are in your hands: now begins the most enjoyable part of the project — making this property your home. Yet furnishing a home in Tenerife has its particularities: an island climate that shapes your choice of materials, tradespeople you need to know how to find, and furniture deliveries that come either from the mainland or through local retailers.

This practical guide supports you through the first few weeks: transferring your water and electricity contracts, setting up an internet connection, arranging home insurance, and registering with the town hall should you wish to. It then helps you organise your works and your décor: finding reliable tradespeople and obtaining comparable quotes, understanding the real timescales on the island, and choosing materials suited to the sun, the salt and the coastal humidity.

Finally, you will find our fitting-out advice for Canarian living: terraces and outdoor spaces made for living, sun protection, furniture built to last, and the addresses we recommend to our clients — from local retailers to deliveries from mainland Europe.
