Wallpaper Installation in Bahçeşehir Phase 1

Professional service in and around Bahçeşehir 1. Kısım, Istanbul

We install imported and locally made wallpaper in Bahçeşehir Phase 1. In these first-generation flats half the job is surface preparation: stripping, filling and priming. Choose your paper by hand at our Erdeco store in Esenkent; survey and measuring are free.

Wallpaper Installation in Bahçeşehir Phase 1

Bahçeşehir Phase 1, with its low blocks set in gardens around the Gölet, is the first-built and most settled part of the area. Most flats here have carried the same wall surface for a long time. That is why wallpapering in Phase 1 is less about the paper and more about the wall underneath it. Erdağ Yapı Dekorasyon installs imported and locally made wallpaper across this area, and we always begin by reading the surface.

On an Older Wall, Half the Job Is Preparation

Three things come up again and again in first-generation flats: layers of distemper painted over one another, old paper lifting at the corners, and damp marks along the skirting in garden-level flats. Hanging paper straight onto such a surface means open seams within months. At the survey we test the wall with a scraper, remove loose layers, fill and level where needed, and prime to even out absorbency. Where there is a damp mark we do not cover it until we have found the source; while the moisture continues, even the most expensive paper will not hold.

Your Nearest Wallpaper Store

We suggest choosing the product in your hand rather than on a screen; texture, weight and matt finish do not come across in a photograph. Our Erdeco Decoration Store is at Sunflower Esenkent Çarşısı, a short drive from Phase 1. Imported and Italian collections, textile-backed papers and washable vinyls sit side by side there, and you can take a sample home to see it in your own light. The same paper looks noticeably different in morning and evening light, which is why we want the decision made in front of the wall.

The Right Wall in a Living Room

Living rooms in Phase 1 usually face the garden or greenery and take daylight all day. Rather than covering all four walls, choosing the single surface behind the television or the sofa looks more balanced and keeps the budget down. On a wall that takes light head-on, glossy surfaces reflect, so we recommend matt or lightly textured coverings. In narrow spaces such as hallways and stairwells, large pattern repeats look cramped; a small-scale texture works better.

Timing and How We Work

A single room takes a day, a whole flat two to four days; stripping and filling add a day each where needed. In Phase 1 estates we keep to the working hours set by the management, clear rubble the same day and cover the lift and shared areas. We never store materials on the gardens or landscaped areas.

Let us measure and tell you exactly how many rolls and what it costs; the survey is free. You can also see our Bahçeşehir wallpaper and Phase 2 pages.

Frequently Asked Questions

What determines the price of wallpaper in Bahçeşehir Phase 1?

Three items: the price of the roll, the waste created by the pattern repeat, and how much preparation the wall needs. In the first-generation flats of Phase 1 the preparation item can be higher than in newer buildings. We give the exact figure at the survey, based on the real number of rolls; we do not quote a square-metre price over the phone because it almost never holds.

Can wallpaper go over old distemper or limewash?

No. Limewash and thick distemper bond poorly to the wall; once the adhesive adds moisture, the old layer lifts along with the paper. We scrape that layer back, stabilise the surface, fill where needed and prime. Where an installation fails, the cause is the substrate, not the product.

Will wallpaper hold in a garden-level flat?

Yes, once the source of damp has been dealt with. First we look at where the moisture comes from: external wall insulation, ground moisture or a plumbing leak. We do not cover a wall before the source is fixed. Where it is suitable, we use a breathable product and an anti-mould primer.

Where can I choose the wallpaper? Do you have a store?

Yes. Our Erdeco Decoration Store is at Sunflower Esenkent Çarşısı No:25, a short drive from Phase 1. You can see imported and Italian collections, textile-backed and washable products in person, and take a sample home to judge it in your own light.

How many rolls will my room need?

We work out the square metres from the wall widths and height, then add the pattern repeat. A room that takes a certain number of rolls in a plain paper will need noticeably more in a large-repeat design. Because the same batch number is hard to find later, we allow one spare roll.

Should I cover the whole living room or just one wall?

In most living rooms one wall is enough and looks more balanced. Behind the television or the sofa is the usual choice. Covering all four walls raises the budget and, in bright rooms facing the garden, can make the space feel smaller.

What is the difference between imported, Italian and local wallpaper?

Print quality, backing material and depth of texture. Imported and Italian collections offer a wider range of patterns and surfaces, and the price rises accordingly. There are durable, well-printed options among local products too; tell us your budget and we will show you both side by side.

Will you hang paper I buy myself?

Yes, labour can be priced separately. If you are buying elsewhere, check the batch number, pattern repeat and roll count with us before you pay. The most common problems are running short and tonal differences between rolls from different batches.

Can I stay at home while the work is done?

You can. We work room by room, closing off the room in use and covering the furniture. The only difference is that the room being worked on is out of use that day. We keep to the estate's working hours and clear rubble the same day.

When can the room be used after installation?

The same day. The adhesive grips within the first hours and fully cures within two days. During that time do not open the windows wide and create a draught; drying too fast pulls the seams and can open them.
