In Traditional Turkish Houses, the design of the floor (bottom cover), walls (side cover), the ceiling (top cover), and the furniture elements make up the design of the interior space. The concept of “sky above, earth below” in the interior space, which has begun to take shape in the history of Turks since their tent life, has defined the floor and the ceiling. Despite the simplicity of the floors, the ornamented wooden ceilings, designed meticulously, form a characteristic. The walls are fitted with shaped wooden veneer and with functional elements of need. Various shelves, niches, wardrobes, closets, and bathing cubicles take place on the walls. The fireplace also takes place among the closets. There is very little movable furniture in the rooms. The sofas, used for sitting and sleeping are platforms, made of wood and fixed on the floor. In the XIX. century Ottoman Period houses in Cyprus, floors were covered with timber, or with local marble plaques; the marble plaques providing decoration by being laid in various geometrical shapes. Walls are quite plain. Usually, veneer is not used on walls, which have niches in the thickness of the wall, and wooden shelves, stretching at the level of the top of the doors. The ornamented, wooden window frames, surrounding the windows on the walls, and ornamented lamp niches in the mainrooms, are distinctive compared to other rooms. The simplest form of the ceiling, which is more important than the floor, is the naked one. The veneered ceilings of multi-functional rooms, and the veneered ceilings of main-rooms with decorations, form the top cover. There are no fixed fittings in rooms, such as sofas, wardrobes, closets, cupboards, or bathing cubicles. The use of movable furniture is seen in the houses in Cyprus especially towards the end of the XIX. century.
