Home Furnishings
For all property owners there are immediate decisions to be made regarding things like soft furnishings. Which materials should be used, which colours and designs, who will do the measuring up and fitting?
There are now some good interior design shops which offer, apart from the sale of fabrics, a proper consultation service to deal with your particular requirements and queries. Once you are satisfied, they will make and fit your chosen curtains. The quality of fabrics is first class and the colours and designs are traditional, but that's why we are living in Turkey!
To have the work done exactly to your requirements at much less cost than in most parts of Europe is the most important reason for having them made here. Don't be afraid to ask for a home measurement service without obligation before you choose your fabrics. The better home furnishing shops have large collections of different materials in their show rooms. Sometimes they also have a list of satisfied clients and photos of their designs.
They like to show you their workshop, where you can watch cutting, sewing and all the other processes. Additional materials are also available. If you have a particular idea, they offer you catalogues to choose from and all the material will be quickly delivered.
Most of the fabrics they use are made from cotton grown in Turkey which is also exported world-wide. Most of the cotton is grown organically. This is the reason why firms such as ?Hess?, which is well-known for its ecological products, get their raw materials from Turkey.
During trips along the Turkish coast you may see the cotton fields and, depending on the season, you will see the flowers on the plants, the cotton itself or the harvesting of the end product. At harvest time, lots of workers are needed. They come from different parts of Turkey and sometimes even foreign workers from neighbouring countries are asked to help with the harvest. These workers are always given permission quickly for this type of seasonal work.
All of this means that the home furnishings you have ordered are totally Turkish products, from the sowing of the plant to the final design.
