Frequently Asked Questions

ABOUT THE BRAND

Who is behind Pistacho?

Pistacho is an architecture and interior design studio, led by architect Bárbara Dias. The pieces in the shop were born in our projects: we design them, and they are made to order in our own workshop or by our production partners.

How is the shop related to Pistacho Decor?

Pistacho Decor designs architecture and interior projects, from the floor plan to the works on site. The shop sells the pieces designed in those projects, with the price and lead time on each product page. You can buy a single piece or ask us to design the whole home (see Interior projects, below).

BEFORE YOU BUY

How do I know if the piece will fit in my home?

Each product page shows the piece's dimensions and scale drawings, with the width, depth and height of every version. Measure the space and also the way in: doors, stairs and lift. If you are unsure, send us your measurements on WhatsApp and we will help.

Is it possible to view fabric and wood samples before deciding?

Yes. On the samples page you can see the collection's materials up close: fabrics, woods and lacquers. If you would like to see one in person before deciding, get in touch on WhatsApp.

Can I talk to someone before deciding?

Yes. On each product page, «Talk to us about this piece» opens a WhatsApp chat with the piece and the options you chose already written in. You can also write to help@pistachodecor.com.

PRODUCTION AND QUALITY

Are the products made to order or in stock?

Every piece is made to order, in our workshop or by our production partners. We keep no stock: each piece starts being made once the order is confirmed.

Are the products exactly as shown in the photographs?

We strive to ensure the highest accuracy, but slight variations in colour, texture, or finish may occur, especially in natural materials or bespoke pieces.

ORDERS AND CUSTOMISATION

Can I customise a product?

On each product page you choose the available options: fabrics, colours, woods, finishes and configurations. Anything outside those options, such as other dimensions, is customisation and is quoted separately. Click here to request a customisation.

Can every catalogue piece be customised?

It depends on the piece. Some cannot be customised, some only in materials or finishes, others also in dimensions. Customised pieces are made on a quote approved in writing and do not carry the 14-day right of withdrawal.

Is there an additional cost for product personalisation?

All customisations are quoted individually, always with complete transparency.

What is the delivery time for a customised piece?

The one stated in the approved quote. For catalogue pieces, each product page shows the production time: 2 to 6 weeks depending on the piece, plus one week for delivery and assembly.

Is it possible to customise a piece already purchased?

For pieces already purchased, the team assesses each case individually. Simply get in touch.

How does the process work after submitting the piece customisation form?

Our team will review the request and get in touch as soon as possible. Production only proceeds once the client has given their approval.

DELIVERY AND ASSEMBLY

Do you ship throughout the country?

Delivery and assembly of furniture are free in mainland Portugal. The Azores and Madeira are quoted separately, on request. Lamps have their own shipping charges: Zambelis lamps ship free and Nordlux lamps cost €8, free above €307.50.

Is shipping free?

For furniture, yes: delivery and assembly are free in mainland Portugal, and the islands are quoted separately, on request. For lamps, Zambelis ship free and Nordlux are free above €307.50.

How long does delivery take?

Each product page shows the production time: 2 weeks for benches and coffee, side and bedside tables; 3 weeks for beds, sofas and dining tables; 4 weeks for sideboards and TV units; 6 weeks for shelving. Add one week for delivery and assembly. Lamps take 2 to 4 weeks, plus one week for delivery.

Does delivery include assembly?

Yes. For furniture, delivery and assembly are free and carried out by us on the day of delivery, in mainland Portugal. Lamps do not include assembly.

How does delivery work?

Our team or specialist partners handle the delivery and, where applicable, on-site assembly, ensuring everything is set up exactly as expected.

WARRANTY AND RETURNS

Do you accept returns?

Yes. You have 14 days from delivery to withdraw from the purchase without giving a reason, for catalogue furniture (including the options chosen on the product page) and for lamps. For furniture, we arrange and pay for the return transport. Customised pieces, made outside the product page options, are excluded. Full details are in our returns policy.

What warranty do the pieces have?

All pieces carry a 3-year legal warranty, both ours and those from partner brands. If you notice a defect, write to help@pistachodecor.com with a description and photos. The details are in the returns and exchanges policy.

What if the piece arrives damaged?

On delivery day, check the piece with our team before it is assembled. Any damage is recorded on the delivery note. If you only notice it later, write to help@pistachodecor.com within 48 hours, with photos.

INTERIOR PROJECTS

How long does a project take?

The timeline varies depending on the type and scale of the project. After an initial assessment, we provide a clear schedule for each phase, ensuring support throughout the entire process.

Do you work with any type of budget?

Each project is tailored to the client. We always seek balanced solutions, adjusted to the needs, expectations and available budget.

Is it possible to commission only part of the service?

Yes. You can opt for a specific service, such as an architecture project, renovation or interior design, depending on what you need.

Do you supervise the works?

Yes. We provide supervision during the construction phase, ensuring everything is executed in accordance with the defined project.

Do you only work in a specific area?

We work in different locations, adapting our involvement to the type of project.

Can I take part in the project decisions?

Of course. The process is developed together with the client, ensuring that all decisions reflect their preferences and style.

Do you handle the entire process, from design through to execution?

Yes. We are involved in every stage, from the initial concept through to final completion.
