DIY stores in Spain offer a good selection of home improvement supplies, gardening items and economical home decoration products. Check out our round-up of the major brands, how to find special promos and what their store cards offer.
Leroy Merlin / Aki
Part of the same group from Jan 2019, Leroy Merlin and Aki have stores all over Spain, including the Islands. In the upcoming months several Aki stores will be rebranded as Leroy Merlin.
In order to find their latest offers visit the promos section (promociones) where you’ll be able to look through brochures online.
Leroy Merlin also has an online store with flash offers that last around two weeks, as well as an outlet with clearance items. Delivery costs depend on the size and weight of items and are shown at checkout.
Many stores also rent tools and machinery. Check the daily vs weekend rate as the latter is often better value (pick-up on Friday afternoon and return on Monday morning).
For large purchases you can pay for delivery or rent a van.
Online in the Comunidad section you can see customer projects and ask questions (in Spanish).
For regular visitors, it’s a good idea to request a Club Leroy Merlin Card. The card gives 3% back on purchases as Leroy Merlin store vouchers and holders receive exclusive promos. Their “Pack Renueva Tu Casa” gives 10% back as a gift card on major home DIY projects with the following minimum spends:
- 3000€ on kitchens
- 2500€ on attic conversions or windows
- 1900€ on bathrooms
- 1400€ on doors
- 1200€ on wardrobes or gardens
- 900€ on floors
- 600€ on curtains, rugs, mirrors, paint and lighting
