Exploring interior design criteria for different atmospheric spaces
Abstract:
Interior design style has always been a topic that cannot be avoided by the interior design profession. Since the 18th century, the interior design styles have mainly focused on the regional or contemporary artistic features, such as Mediterranean style, Baroque style and so on. With the intercommunication and integration of the global economy and culture, the decoration style of interior space in the world becomes more diverse, and it is often difficult to define the attributes of a space designing with a specific style. However, in different interior styles, there are many commonalities from the perspective of human experience and perception. For example, people can experience or perceive the atmosphere of romance, cuteness and relaxation by the indoor decoration. Moreover, these perceptions from the spatial form are more direct to the users than the style representation, and they also affect the human emotion and consciousness in the space. This study is an exploratory research which mainly adopts the in-depth interview method. Professional designers are invited to describe the perceptual experience of various atmospheric features, such as romance, cuteness, and relaxation. After induction and analysis, the design principles of different atmospheric features are generalized. The results show that the basic design and combination principles of shapes, lines, colors, and texture used by designers differ in the creation of characteristic spaces of different atmosphere. It is suggested to collect data about clients' perception and experience of romantic, cute, relaxed or other atmospheric features in the future to compare the similarities and differences between clients and professional designers in their perception of the atmosphere by indoor decoration. The creation of different virtual reality spaces may also be used to verify the design principles of different atmospheric characteristics through quantitative investigation, so as to find the possibility of establishing a new effective evaluation system for interior design field in the future.
