My Visit to the Kave Home Flagship in Madrid

I recently went to Madrid to see a client. I'm helping him renovate his three-bedroom, top-floor apartment there, and while I was in the city, I really wanted to visit one of Kave Home's flagship stores.

Walking around Madrid in August isn't exactly pleasant in the heat, so I was very happy to arrive at this beautiful store with AC. It's in a lovely part of town and spread over five floors. I love interiors, so being able to see everything properly, touch the materials, and actually sit on chairs and sofas makes such a difference compared with looking at them online.

I went up and down the store, looking at everything and chatting to a few of the people who work there, who were all very nice. Then, of course, I ran out of battery. So I didn't manage to take nearly as many photos and videos as I would have liked. It was already the end of the day, so I left my phone behind the counter to charge for part of the visit.

My client was following me around, and at one point we came across some beautiful dark wood wardrobes. They felt almost like bespoke built-ins, and the interiors were beautifully finished too. Expensive? Yes and no. Not ridiculously expensive for what they are, but definitely towards the mid-to-high end.

He looked at them and said, "Wow, I didn't know I could get something like this." We were both happy to have found them because they solved one of our apartment problems. The alternative would have been to hire a carpenter to make something similar, which would probably have cost even more.

And that's one reason I like visiting showrooms with clients. Sometimes you come across something you would never have thought to search for online, and suddenly it opens up a new possibility for the project.

Anyway, quite a few things impressed me, so here are the ones that stood out.

The sofa at the entrance

First was the Anarela sofa at the entrance, which is to die for in comfort and comes in 4 different colors. It's a symmetrical sofa and exactly the sort of sofa I love: large, deep and incredibly soft. You just sink into it, like sitting on cotton.

What I particularly like is that when you lean back, it actually supports your head. So whether you're watching TV or reading a book, you can properly relax.

It also has an armrest about 15-20 centimeters wide, which immediately made me think of one of those U-shaped aluminum (or wood) tables that slides over the armrest. Perfect for a drink or cup of tea without reaching for the coffee table.

It was paired with the Sorein coffee table in beautiful green marble, which I also really liked because of its weight. I like furniture that feels solid and sturdy.

This sofa, Anarela, is a little pricey, but it's the kind of sofa I think is worth spending more on if you can. The linen cover is removable and washable, which is a big plus with a light-colored sofa. I've sold this type of deep, soft sofa to other clients, and they wouldn't trade it for anything else.

So the Anarela: definitely a thumbs-up from me.

Outdoor furniture

I was also impressed by some of their outdoor chairs. They can look beautiful but aren't always comfortable; the backrest often seems to hit you in exactly the wrong place.

I have a longish back and need some proper back support, so I'm quite picky when it comes to chairs.

One that stood out was the exterior Elunda armchair. It was genuinely comfortable, and it also comes as a sofa, so you can create a complete outdoor seating area.

I liked their outdoor tables too. Several are expandable, which is always practical. You can seat more people when needed without having an enormous table taking up your terrace all year round.

The rugs

They had some lovely rugs in wool, polypropylene, and other synthetics, as well as natural materials such as jute.

I managed to bring home a sample of the Galinda polypropylene rug, and it's a good example of why I like seeing products in person. Online, it looked much more yellow-toned, whereas in reality it was more greige-toned. Something I will start showing on Rooms & You is comparing samples next to other materials and colors so you can get a better idea of how they really look, rather than relying entirely on a screen.

The Galinda has a lovely texture and almost looks knitted, even though it's thinnish and light to carry.

And I certainly put my little sample through its paces.

I tried red wine, beetroot, olive oil, tomato, and blueberries, and I crushed them into the rug. Everything came off with a wet wipe. I even put the sample under running water, which made it even easier to clean.

That's why I think a polypropylene rug like this is perfect under a dining table. Sooner or later, somebody is going to spill a glass of red wine or drop some food. I much prefer having a rug I don't need to panic about when that happens and wonder which guests I can invite.

The same practicality makes it great for outdoors too.

The rest of the store

I sat in quite a few of their armchairs, and most worked surprisingly well for me. The Gralit were particularly comfortable, and I also liked the Jan, a lovely leather chair with beautiful wooden legs.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the chance to try their beds. Clearly, I'll have to go back and lie on a few next time; all in the name of research.

I also tried several bar stools, including the Ciselia, and found them comfortable too, which isn't always a given with bar stools.

They have some beautiful vases, and the Klis wall art caught my eye: a canvas with a subtle tone-on-tone relief effect.

I also tested the sideboards and TV stands. And when I say tested, I mean I opened them, closed them, pulled out the drawers, and slid the doors back and forth. They generally felt solid and well made.

The Onix in dark brown was one of my favorites. I also liked the Mailan, although I found the sliding doors a little stiff.

Overall, I think their prices are very good. They're not the cheapest, but they're certainly not the most expensive either. As a friend once said, "If you pay peanuts, you get monkeys." And when it comes to furniture, there is some truth in that.

The dining tables also felt very sturdy. Near the entrance, a beautiful glass table sat beside gorgeous brown leather Deril chairs. I loved that combination. The chairs were also very comfortable, all with leather seating.

Nearby, the Falconera dining chair also caught my eye, with its upholstered seat and black wooden legs and back. Importantly, it was genuinely comfortable too. The whole look had a slightly mid-century feel, which Kave Home does particularly well.

You'll also find plenty of the colors we're seeing in 2026: olive green, terracotta, dusty blue, and other warm, muted tones.

So yes, it was a very enjoyable—and useful—visit.

I originally contacted Kave Home because I'm building the first version of Rooms & You and am now starting to expand it. I hope you'll bear with me while it grows.

I'm also happy to share that Kave Home is the first approved affiliate partner for Rooms & You. Hopefully there will be many more to come, and hopefully they'll like what we're building here too.

Have a great day.
