A holiday home or rental villa on Mallorca has to take more than a family home: changing guests, sun, salt air and hard water. From Palma, CARLO Design plans materials, furniture, storage and equipment so the house still looks good after many seasons. We coordinate delivery and installation on the island, and you do not need to travel for it. We work all over Mallorca, in English, German or Spanish.
Whoever stays in a holiday home is there for the first time. Guests look for the light switch, drop wet towels, carry sand inside and chairs out to the terrace. The furnishing has to allow for that. Surfaces should cope with stains and covers should be washable. Storage belongs where suitcases and beach things actually end up, and anyone should be able to work the lights without instructions.
Even so, the house should not look like a rental. We use the same materials as in our homes on the island: lime plaster, natural stone, oiled wood, linen and wool. They tend to look better with use. Most of our Mallorca clients live abroad, so furnishing from a distance is our normal way of working.
After the first few weeks with guests you can tell whether a house was furnished for everyday use or just for a photo.
Solid wood that can be re-oiled in places instead of foil-wrapped fronts whose edges lift. Stone or tiled floors that cope with sand and wet feet. In the bathroom few joints and a water softener, because the water on Mallorca is hard, and metals that can handle the salt air.
Bathrooms for hard waterRoom for suitcases in every bedroom, hooks and shelves by the entrance and the terrace, a lockable cupboard for things that are yours alone. We plan bed linen, towels and textiles for full occupancy and record everything in the schedule of items, so every piece can be bought again.
Bespoke built-in storageYou decide room by room on screen or at meetings in Palma or Berlin, and we send you the samples. We coordinate shipping, storage and installation on Mallorca. You do not need to travel for the deliveries.
How the remote model worksWe work back from the day the house should be lived in or let. Bespoke pieces and made-to-order upholstery need the longest lead time.
Floor plans, photos and your target date. We clarify how many guests the house should sleep, what stays and what budget you have in mind for the furnishing.
Who sleeps where, how many sit at the table, where does the luggage go? That gives us furniture layouts on the floor plan and a list of equipment.
We show materials that can take use and send samples. If you travel once, travel for this: fabrics and woods look different in the island light than on a screen.
Built-in wardrobes, benches and beds made by joiners we have worked with for years, plus the orders with manufacturers. Every item has its status in the schedule.
We group the deliveries, install on site and check every piece as it is unpacked. We claim for any transport damage.
At the end the beds are made, the lamps wired and the accessories in place. You receive the schedule of items with manufacturers and dimensions, so worn pieces can be replaced exactly later on.
Then four short questions. We reply within one working day, with no obligation. We speak English, German and Spanish.
Across our two studios, most of our new work comes through recommendations from past clients. 5.0 stars on Google, 3 reviews for our Palma studio.
