In Ephesus, everyday design items were typically crafted from materials like wood, metal, ceramic, glass, and stone. Most household items were made of wood; however, even this simple material was transformed into aesthetic pieces with carving and inlay techniques. For instance, the legs of an ordinary table could be intricately carved with animal figures, and lavishly enhanced with fabric covers and embroidery. Beds (kline couches) and divans were made of wood and were equipped with wool-stuffed cushions and embroidered covers for added comfort. Floors were sometimes adorned with straw and leather coverings or woven rugs to add both warmth and decoration. In addition to wood, the interior decoration also utilized materials such as ivory, bronze, glass, and marble; these precious materials were merged with functionality for aesthetics in various applications, from wall ornaments to furniture veneers. Even items for daily use matched this richness, featuring impressive examples like bronze kitchenware. The aim of the design was to ensure that while the items served their functions, they were also visually appealing.
