Set Decorators
Expert set decorators bringing Turkish interiors to life—from Ottoman palace splendor to contemporary Istanbul cosmopolitanism.
A set decorator selects and arranges the furnishings, artwork, drapery, and decorative details that bring a production designer's vision to life on screen. In Turkey, this means working at the crossroads of Eastern and Western design traditions—from the İznik-tiled chambers of Topkapı Palace and the Byzantine mosaics of Hagia Sophia to the Art Nouveau apartments of Beyoğlu and the cave dwellings of Cappadocia. Turkey's layered history makes it one of the most visually rich countries for set decoration.
We connect you with Turkish set decorators who know where to source locally—from Istanbul's Grand Bazaar and Çukurcuma antique quarter to the prop houses serving Turkey's thriving dizi (TV drama) industry and the traditional carpet dealers of Ankara and Konya. Our network spans all major production regions, with professionals experienced in dressing everything from Seljuk caravanserais to modern Antalya resort interiors.
