Furniture Buying Service in Turkey: Complete Home Furnishing

Furnishing your new property in Turkey is an essential step after purchase. Most properties in Turkey are sold without furniture, requiring new owners to purchase furniture, appliances, and home accessories to make their property livable and comfortable.

Maximos Real Estate has assisted property owners with furnishing since 2005, providing comprehensive furniture purchasing services that simplify the process of creating a beautiful, functional home in Turkey. Our furniture service includes everything from initial consultation and design planning to purchasing, delivery, and installation.

Understanding Property Furnishing in Turkey

Most new properties in Turkey are sold with finished interiors including built-in kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, and decorative ceilings. However, furniture, appliances, and home accessories are typically not included in the purchase price, requiring separate purchase and installation.

This approach allows property owners to customize their living space according to personal preferences and budget. Whether you prefer modern minimalist design, traditional Turkish style, or contemporary European aesthetics, you have complete freedom to create your ideal home environment.

What's Included in New Properties

Before purchasing furniture, it's important to understand what's already included in your property:

Built-in Kitchens: Most properties include fully installed kitchens with cabinets, countertops, and sometimes basic appliances like stovetops or ovens.
Bathroom Fixtures: Complete bathroom installations including sinks, toilets, showers or bathtubs, and tiling.
Flooring: Laminate, marble, or ceramic tile flooring throughout the property.
Windows and Doors: PVC windows with double glazing and modern door installations.
Decorative Ceilings: Finished ceilings with lighting fixtures and sometimes integrated lighting systems.
Electrical and Plumbing: Complete electrical wiring and plumbing systems ready for appliance connection.

With these elements already in place, your primary furnishing needs focus on furniture, appliances, and decorative elements.

White Goods and Appliances

White goods (major household appliances) are essential for any functional home. A complete white goods package typically includes:

Refrigerator
Washing machine
Dishwasher
Oven and stovetop (if not included in kitchen)
Microwave oven
Air conditioning units (if not pre-installed)

The cost of a complete white goods package in Turkey averages around 5,000 euros, depending on brand selection and quality level. Turkey offers a wide range of appliance brands to suit different budgets:

Premium Brands: Siemens, Bosch, and other European manufacturers offering high-end quality and features
Mid-Range Brands: Beko and Arcelik, Turkish manufacturers offering excellent quality at competitive prices
Budget Brands: Altus, Regal, and other value-oriented options providing basic functionality at lower costs

Turkish brands like Beko and Arcelik offer particularly good value, combining European quality standards with competitive pricing. These brands are widely available throughout Turkey and have excellent service networks for maintenance and repairs.
