About us

Who we are

Gurumood is a concept of living, for people who want to shape a lifestyle of their own.

Made with real passion, Gurumood looks for the path and the way of living best suited to the modus vivendi of each client and friend.

Above all, we set out to fulfil a life project that has not yet found its form.

Gurumood's range of solutions draws on eclectic visions: the blank canvas begins with a balanced classical base, shot through with flashes of modernity, exuberance and sensuality taken from each client's personality.

We have done our job when we shape reality to make your dreams come true.

Our philosophy

A blank canvas, brushstrokes of colour

Behind Gurumood are more than 30 years of travel and projects: homes, banks, residential developments and hotels, among others, across several countries.

From those experiences and adventures, Gurumood sets out to create spaces that are deeply soft and welcoming, where brushstrokes of colour are sown to meet each person's personality.

Just as essential is bringing together the pieces that make up each person's story, creating a wonderful world for our client and friend to live in.

And so life will flow with all the beauty it can hold.

How we work

From the first conversation to the last cushion

Every home is different, but the way we work follows four moments.

  1. 01

    Conversation

    We begin by listening: how you live, what you love, what you keep and what you are looking for. This is where the project finds its starting point.

  2. 02

    Concept

    We turn that conversation into an idea: the mood, the palette, the materials and the pieces that will tell your story.

  3. 03

    Design

    We design the space in detail, with furniture, lighting, fabrics and art, so you can see the result before work begins.

  4. 04

    Build and follow through

    We follow the work through to the last detail, from the build to placing the final cushion.

“Design is the power to shape the world around us… a stroke of creativity that will make the difference.”

Frank Lloyd Wright
