During the Spanish Renaissance is where we really started seeing residential design. Interior design during this era was influenced by the Moorish design. One of the most iconic elements during this period is the Iron Grilles in widows. Even today, we can still appreciate this features in Spain and many other parts of the world

Another very important feature during this was the use of leather and wood in their furniture. During this era the use and design of furniture really improved a lot. Cabinets were carved and painted. Inlay work was  Spain's finest artistic achievements. The use of bone, ivory and wood pieces was very popular in this type of work

One of the reasons why there was an abruptly use of gold and precious stones during this era was because of the Spanish conquer over Latin America, the Spaniards started bringing all these materials back to their country
