Monapart Alicante invites you to a shopping route through Alicante with Paloma Amothe most cutting-edge Alicante decorator of the moment.
Introductions first...
Who is Paloma Amo?
Paloma Amo Baile is an interior decorator, fashion blogger and community manager specialising in fashion and decoration. She trained at the School of Art in Alicante, specialising in design and projection-construction management. She began her career in the world of decoration collaborating with Ángel CremadesHe was a well-known interior designer from Alicante, until he began to have his own portfolio of clients.
With the crisis over and in response to her restless spirit, Paloma took the opportunity to continue learning and delve into the fascinating world of social networks and blogs, opening her own: The pink ball necklace and nurturing a community of around 20,000 followers on his account on Instagram. As a result of the decoration project "Idehadas" that she started with her friend Celia Mira, Paloma diversified her activity by also dedicating herself to the management of social networks in fashion and decoration.
I have known Paloma for several years and have had the pleasure of seeing her "hands on" choosing the materials that give shape to her ideas. Our last collaboration was a matter of fate, since the property for sale in Argensola street that arrived at Monapart Alicante came with a renovation and interior design project signed by her. Of course, and among other things, thanks to her beautiful project, this house was sold in a week! And it had a lot of diffusion in the social networks.
Introductions done, we have proposed to Paloma to take us shopping in Alicante to give some decoration ideas to the Alicante Monaparters. Are you coming?
Cocimed. Mediterranean Cuisines
With 20 years of experience, Cocimed is dedicated to the study and elaboration of kitchen projects adapted to the style of each client, without renouncing the functional and practical character that should prevail in this room of the house. According to Paloma: "My favourite shop when it comes to finding the perfect kitchen for my clients. As well as having a magnificent and beautifully decorated showroom, they are the official distributors in Alicante for the Santos brand, and they know what is unwritten when it comes to kitchens, they never fail! They are at the forefront of design, materials and technology. Whenever I go there I always let Miguel Ángel and his team advise me, it is a real pleasure to listen to them talk about the characteristics of their product, you can tell they love their work and have made the "kitchen world" their way of life".

Intramuros
Incredible recently opened shop that is already a must visit when we talk about interior design. With only 6 months in Alicante, it offers endless possibilities, both for the private customer who is looking for an object for their living room, as well as for the professional, architect or interior designer, to whom it even offers its showroom as a meeting point with their clients. Paloma had not yet had the opportunity to visit this shop, and this route has been the perfect excuse to do so. At Intramuros We were very well looked after and were shown around the exhibition. As a final note after the visit, Paloma said: "I was blown away by the concept store/event space, they're on the cutting edge! And also the whole team is lovely".

The Cloth Cupboard
This small shop located in San Juan de Alicante has an incredible variety of fabrics, and thanks to the personal attention they offer, it is the place to find the perfect fabric for every corner of your home. So says Paloma: "I discovered The Cloth Cupboard thanks to a customer and I have not stopped going there, it is a real treasure hidden in a charming shop in San Juan Pueblo. Inside you can find all the fabrics in the world on their high hangers up to the ceiling, it is a real pleasure to lose yourself in their wide range of beautiful fabrics, and that final touch in curtains and upholstery of any project is the key to success".

Rakoda
Located in Mutxamel, Rakoda The following are some of Paloma's most surprising reasons: "Don't be fooled by this large furniture store on the roadside in Mutxamel, although its exterior may not appeal to you, inside you are sure to find the solution to some of your decorative problems at home. They have a lot of interesting furniture and decorative objects with a certain French touch that the owner gives it as he is originally from the neighbouring country. Go crazy in this flea market concept shop, where the gracefully stacked pieces will delight lovers of decoration and bargains".
