خلفية ثقافية
The 'Qonaq Otağı' (Guest Room) is the heart of the Azerbaijani home. It is always kept the cleanest and is usually the most 'geniş' room to accommodate visitors. In modern Baku real estate, 'geniş otaq' is a buzzword used to distinguish new luxury builds from older, smaller Soviet apartments. In village houses, rooms are often multi-functional and 'geniş' to allow for large family dinners where everyone sits on 'gəbə' (carpets) on the floor. There is a saying that a narrow house is a narrow heart. Having a 'geniş otaq' is seen as a reflection of the owner's generosity.
