So, today I wanted to share with you some photos of what a traditional Syrian home looks like. Typically, most of the older homes are quite spacious with many, many rooms. Much of the furniture seen in homes is made using mother of pearl adornments as seen on the cabinet in the photo to the left and the couches in the last photo of the living room.
The main room is always the largest. Upon entering this room, you will notice that there is no ceiling, which allows for great amounts of sun and a refreshing breeze to enter the home in the summer. However, in the winters, the concept of no ceiling becomes quite a nuisance so most people have installed a makeshift adjustable ceiling which can be pulled on and off, kind of like the roof top on a convertible car! Every home has a living room, a main room, a guest room, of course a kitchen and several restrooms, depending on the size of the home, and walk in closet rooms. Enjoy the photos!
All of the bedrooms are usually on the second floor of the home, there is usually over five.
