Renting

When you’re exploring homes for rent in Madrid, especially for a short time, the most cost-effective way to furnish your apartment is with second-hand furniture. Luckily, Madrid's one of the best cities in Spain to go vintage furniture hunting, thanks to its selection of quality second-hand furniture shops.

From unique pieces to enliven your room to big furniture items to fill up an unfurnished apartment, you can save a lot of money by buying quality second-hand furniture. Discover where you can shop the best second-hand furniture in Madrid in this list!

From the get-go, renting a furnished apartment sounds cheaper and easier to settle in. Yet, furnished apartments have higher rent prices and deposit. Instead, you can rent an unfurnished apartment and decorate it with second-hand furniture for your taste, all while paying lower rent, and deposit and avoiding losing your deposit for damage. On top of this, if you're leaving Madrid, you can re-sell the second-hand furniture to the shop, and they'll come to pick it up.

Lagur Madrid is one of the best second-hand furniture shops in Madrid. The items here don’t feel like used furniture even though most of the antiques are from the 20th century. That’s because the owner handpicks almost all of the furniture and puts a great deal into their care.

They’ve got a wide selection of furniture, from chairs and tables to designer pieces and unique vintage items. You can shop from this store to buy big staple pieces like a comfortable sofa or one-of-a-kind mirror.
