Question by Michael D: How is the interior design look of turkish homes? Is it arab look-alike or european look-alike? Or both ?
In Belgium, I saw many furniture stores owned by Turkish inmigrants, and they seem to be mixed-influence, with oriental style sofas and modern style sofas. And it seems that everyone has carpets at home.
But I just don’t know how the average Turkish people arrange their home.
Do they like modern design ? What about the lightings ?
What are the preferences of Turkish people, regarding interior design ?

European-like furniture, carpets everywhere (preferably not wall-to-wall, wool or silk if you can afford it), preferable wood or laminate floor boards.
This is a gross generalization based on middle-class tastes and preferences, though. There are country homes and designer homes which donot fit any category.

I like Chinese, my friend likes classic french other one likes italian..I dont know other people . You know, everybody has their own choice.But we dont sit or eat on the floor.
Turkish look-a-like..!!
My parents’ house and my house are very modern.
Both of the houses are mostly white and with colored with pastel colors. We both like simplicity.
But i have Istanbul paintings and Turkish painters’ paintings on the walls.
For the bathroom because i am a big fan of hamams i bought some hamam accessories. A lot of nice smelling oil and lavender soaps etc…
We don’t like carpets we prefer wooden parquet to give some cosiness.
That’s all…
To generalize Turkish peoples life standard or culture is too hard. Coes we are talking about 75 million ppl and more than 850.000 km2.
Not European not Arabic. Lets call it modern Ottoman stile

Haha what is an arab look-alike house like anyway? Having a palm tree in your living room along with a camel? Or a european look alike?
Turks have their own style. “Nothing in excess” says Aristotle, Turks apply that in every field of their lives. Not so oriental but not so European either.
