Set Decorators
Pro set decorators bringing Spanish interiors to life—from Moorish Andalusian palaces to modernista Barcelona elegance.
Here is how this works in practice. A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Spain, this means working within one of Europe's richest design heritages—from the Islamic geometric tilework and arched courtyards of the Alhambra to the Gaudí modernisme of Barcelona, the Habsburg grandeur of Madrid's royal palaces, and the whitewashed simplicity of Andalusian pueblo build style.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with Spanish set decorators who know where to source locally—from Madrid's Rastro flea market and antique shops along Calle del Prado to Barcelona's Encants market and the traditional ceramics dealers of Seville's Triana district. Our network spans all major production regions, with pros skilled in dressing everything from Moorish alcázars to modern Bilbao apartments.

On Location
Set decorators sourcing through Cornejo Madrid, Peris Costumes, El Rastro, and the regional Spanish artisan network for Moorish, Golden Age, and contemporary builds
Here is how this works in practice. Spain's set-decoration network runs through senior crew working out of Madrid's Cornejo (Sastrería Cornejo prop-and-furnishings rental, founded 1920. Cleopatra, Lawrence of Arabia, Gladiator, Game of Thrones, Kingdom of Heaven inventory). Peris Costumes Madrid (Vikings, The Crown, House of the Dragon furnishings stock). El Rastro Madrid (the largest open-air antique market in Spain). Els Encants Barcelona (the city's historic flea market). And specialty regional dealers in Seville's Triana ceramics quarter, Toledo's antique furniture trade. Granada's Albaicín Moorish-revival sources, Córdoba's silversmith district, and the Bilbao-Basque industrial-heritage trade.
Here is the short of it. The pool delivers Moorish al-Andalus (Alhambra-grade tilework, mashrabiya screens, hand-painted ceramics from Triana and Granada), medieval Castilian Reconquista. Spanish Golden Age Habsburg court (sourced from Madrid antiquarian shops and Toledo's heritage trade). Baroque ecclesiastical (working with Seville and Córdoba religious-art conservators). Bourbon-era domestic, Civil War-era period, Franco-era 1940s-1970s. Modernista Catalan Gaudí-Domènech, and today's democratic Spain.
Here is the breakdown. Productions filmed in Spain — Game of Thrones (Dorne Alcázar Sand-Snake interiors, Itálica Dragonpit dressing, Bárdenas Reales Dothraki encampment). House of the Dragon (Cáceres medieval interiors, Trujillo Plaza Mayor exteriors). Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (Cádiz, Sevilla, Granada period-set dressing). Pirates of the Caribbean (Cádiz tall-ship interiors). Star Wars Attack of the Clones (Plaza de España Sevilla Naboo). Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Spider-Man Far From Home. Money Heist (Banco de España Royal Mint interiors built at Mediapro Studios).
Here is what that looks like on the ground. Las Chicas del Cable 1920s-1940s telephone-exchange period builds. The Almodóvar canon — set up the credit pool. Regional textiles (Andalusian esparto grass, Catalan linen, Castilian wool, Basque industrial textiles, Valencian fans, Galician lace), wrought-iron forging (Toledo, Albacete). And azulejo tilework (Triana Sevilla, Manises Valencia) round out the artisan sourcing. AISGE-AIE union compliance, Spain's ICAA 30% rebates plus regional uplifts, EUR Eurozone settlement, and IVA 21% VAT recovery underpin each budget.

Where do you source furnishings in Spain?
Here is the breakdown. Our set decorators work with prop houses in Madrid and Barcelona, plus the Rastro flea market, Encants, and regional antique dealers across Andalusia, Catalonia, and Castile. Spain's rich decorative arts tradition gives top sourcing depth in each region.
