Moving to Mexico and Need Furniture ?

So you are moving to Mexico -- very exciting. What for many is still a dream, a bucket list item, you are already doing.

Congratulations!

The reality, once the move dawns on you, is that Mexico is, well, different.

When moving to Mexico, early planning is key

Part of the reason why we love traveling to Mexico, eating the delicious food, buying the beautiful furniture is that Mexico is in fact different. And the pace of life is also different. So what must you do to get ready? A little reading, a little learning, a lot of flexibility and good planning are key. When it comes to your home or condo in Mexico, give yourself ample time to consider the furniture, the atmosphere, the ambiance you wish to have in your new home.

Should you just say yes to the developer's package?

Many condos come with furniture package options, but these packages are often priced very high and many homes (in my humble opinion) end up looking quite “cookie-cutter" with these packages. This is also not ideal if you want to rent your condo and want it to have memorable, unique appeal.

How to get the furniture process started for your Mexico home

In order to have us help you furnish you Mexican home or condo, you need to plan ahead. Since our furniture is not sitting in a warehouse but rather made by hand by our Mexican artisans just for you, we usually need 12-16 weeks to make and deliver your collection. Most of our customers start by working back from the date they take possession of their Mexican home or condo, and they allow at least 16 weeks to have the furniture built, consolidated and delivered. So it is really important to contact us as early as you possibly can and have us put together some ideas for you. If you prefer, you can send us photos of things you like, share your floor plan or share idea boards such as Pinterest with us. 

Your favorite style of Mexican furniture

It is also a good idea and a fun thing to do to take our Mexican furniture style quiz. Some customers go with the basics, while others take advantage of a one-time shipment to get everything they need for their Mexican home: bedroom furniture, outdoor furniture, living room pieces and even accessories to complement the furniture. It depends on your needs, wants and budget.

Here are a few more suggestions for your Mexico move

Read a good book on moving to Mexico. Learn at least a little bit of Spanish: Hola, Gracias, Como esta?, Buenas noches will go a long way in helping you sound friendlier, more courteous.

Make a list of must haves, must do's and nice to haves for your new home in Mexico. Dare to dream. If not now, when?! Visualize how you want your furniture to look and your Mexican home to feel. Are you partial to: Mexican hacienda style or Southwestern furniture and decor? Do you prefer a beach cottage atmosphere? Do you want a more contemporary Mexican furniture look? We can help you with all of these.

Most importantly, every step of the way,  choose to be excited rather than overwhelmed. Chances are the really tough decisions are already made. Many of our customers tell us how excited they are to see the furniture. And why not? It is an exciting time when you start fresh in a new location. When we hear this, it is music to our ears.

Good planning makes a huge difference when moving to Mexico.

We want to help you bring to life an amazing collection of furniture perfect just for you. Help us help you by planning ahead and reaching out as early as you possibly can.
