Question 1

What kind of art do you offer?

Accepted Answer

Galería Piñeiro features artworks inspired by the tropics, travel, and emotional connection to space. You’ll find prints, originals, photography, mixed media, and limited editions — all curated or created by Pamela to complement interior design projects with intention and soul.

Question 2

Are the artworks original or printed?

Accepted Answer

Both.

Each piece clearly states whether it is an original artwork, a limited edition print, or an open edition print. Originals are one‑of‑a‑kind pieces, while prints are high‑quality reproductions on premium materials.

Question 3

Do you offer framing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of our pieces are framed.

Framing options include natural wood, white, black, or custom finishes. Each frame is selected to enhance the artwork’s aesthetic and durability.

Question 4

Can I commission a custom artwork?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely.

If you’re looking for a piece that reflects your space, color palette, or personal story, Pamela offers custom commissions. These can be integrated into your interior design project or purchased independently.

Question 5

Do you ship internationally?

Accepted Answer

Yes — we ship worldwide.

Shipping costs and delivery times vary depending on your location and the type of artwork (originals vs. prints). All pieces are packaged with care to ensure safe arrival.

Question 6

Can I return or exchange an artwork?

Accepted Answer

Because each piece is made to order or produced in limited quantities, returns are not accepted unless the artwork arrives damaged. If something happens during shipping, we will replace or refund the piece.

Question 7

How do I know which artwork fits my space?

Accepted Answer

If you’re unsure, we offer Art Curation as part of our interior design services.

We can help you choose pieces that complement your layout, materials, lighting, and overall aesthetic. You can also send us photos of your space for personalized recommendations.

Question 8

Can I see how the artwork will look in my home before buying?

Accepted Answer

Yes.

We can create a digital mockup of the artwork in your space. Simply send a photo of your wall and the dimensions, and we’ll prepare a preview.

Question 9

Are the colors in the photos accurate?

Accepted Answer

We do our best to ensure accurate color representation. However, colors may vary slightly depending on your screen settings. If you need exact tones, we can send a close-up preview or additional photos.

Question 10

Can I buy art even if I’m not doing a design project with you?

Accepted Answer

Of course.

The gallery is open to everyone — whether you’re decorating a full home or simply looking for a piece that speaks to you.

Question 11

Do you collaborate with other artists?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Galería Piñeiro occasionally features guest artists whose work aligns with our philosophy of tropical warmth, cultural identity, and emotional design. These collaborations are announced through our newsletter and social media.

Question 12

How do I care for my artwork?

Accepted Answer

We provide care instructions with every purchase.

General recommendations include avoiding direct sunlight, keeping humidity stable, and cleaning frames with a soft, dry cloth.

Question 13

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept major credit cards, PayPal, and Revolut. All transactions are secure and encrypted.

Question 14

Can I reserve a piece?

Accepted Answer

Limited edition or original artworks can be reserved for up to 48 hours. After that, they return to the shop unless a deposit is made.

Question 15

How do I know if In Tropics is the right studio for my project?

Accepted Answer

If you value intentional design, clear communication, and a process that blends creativity with technical precision, we’re a great fit. We specialize in residential and hospitality interiors, custom furniture, and FF&E — always with a warm, personal, and human approach.

Question 16

How do we start a project together?

Accepted Answer

We begin with a Discovery Call where you share your goals, timeline, and vision. From there, we prepare a proposal tailored to your project’s scope and needs. Once approved, we move into the design phase.

Question 17

What is included in your interior design service?

Accepted Answer

Our full-service interior architecture includes concept development, layouts, materials, lighting, custom furniture, FF&E/OS&E, build-ready drawings, contractor coordination, and styling guidance. You can choose a full package or specific phases depending on your needs.

Question 18

Do you work with clients outside Costa Rica or Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes — In Tropics is a remote-friendly studio. We regularly work with clients in the US, Europe, and Latin America. Our documentation is clear, buildable, and easy for contractors anywhere to follow.

Question 19

How are your prices determined?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on the project’s size, complexity, and level of detail required. Residential and hospitality projects are typically priced per square meter or as a fixed fee for the full scope. FF&E and custom furniture design are priced separately.

Question 20

How can I estimate the budget for my project?

Accepted Answer

During the Discovery phase, we help you understand realistic budget ranges based on your goals, materials, and location. We also offer value engineering options to align design with your financial plan.

Question 21

What is FF&E and why is it important?

Accepted Answer

FF&E stands for Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment. It’s the layer that brings personality, comfort, and functionality to a space. We curate pieces that reflect your lifestyle or brand identity, ensuring durability, beauty, and coherence.

Question 22

Can you help me purchase FF&E?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We can manage the full procurement process — from sourcing and negotiating with suppliers to coordinating deliveries and installation. This service is optional and can be added to any project.

Question 23

What if I don’t know what style I want?

Accepted Answer

That’s completely normal. Our process is designed to help you discover your preferences through moodboards, references, and guided conversations. You don’t need to arrive with a clear style — we’ll help you find it.

Question 24

Can the project be done faster?

Accepted Answer

In some cases, yes — but it depends on the complexity and availability of suppliers. We prioritize quality and precision, so we avoid rushing phases that require careful decision-making.

Question 25

Can I build the project myself with your plans?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our documentation is clear and build-ready, so your contractor can execute the project independently. We also offer optional construction coordination if you want extra support.

Question 26

What if I change my mind during the design?

Accepted Answer

Revisions are part of the process. Each package includes a set number of revisions, and additional changes can be added if needed. Our goal is to ensure you feel confident and excited about the final design.

Question 27

What if I don’t like the final result?

Accepted Answer

Our process is built around listening, clarity, and collaboration — so surprises are rare. We refine the design with you step by step, ensuring the final outcome aligns with your vision and lifestyle.
