As a research area, interior design took shape in the 20s of the last century, despite the fact that the practice of decorating living spaces dates back many hundreds of years. However, the "self-sufficiency" of design and its connection with architecture to this day is the subject of scientific discussions of urban specialists, historians, art historians, and anthropologists. The article discusses the leading artistic styles and trends that prevailed in architecture and design from the point of view of their mutual influence on each other. Time frame of the research: from the middle of XIX century to the first half of XX century. As a result of the research of foreign experience in the formation of interior design, the main stages of the movement development and its relationship with architecture in two formations were identified: activities directly dependent on architectural decisions, activities that determine the entire design process to a large extent: from the functional zoning of the premises to the features of the placement of utilities in the building. Entering the information era in art as a whole is characterized by the rejection of slogans that clearly delineate stylistic boundaries and determine the role of a designer in creating the living space. The determining factor influencing the integrity of the building’s appearance in a modern view is the harmony of the facade and the internal content, which was made possible thanks to the equal interaction of the architect and designer, starting from the first half of the 20th century.

The notion of designed space often comes up with the tendency of perfection. This approach, which connects the design to perfection, is mostly reflected in the overall design, even in the representations. In this approach, the power of representation advances in direct proportion to its perfection and perfection is expected in the designed spaces. The situation created by this perfect representation and the reflection of perfection to the design also emerges in the “home” where daily encounters and routines are most intense. Rather than a flawless photogenic object, interiors are dynamic and variable environments containing daily encounters. The interior design practice can be handled from this context and actively influence the design methodology itself. The study shows that as the concept of “home” moves away from a photogenic object, the potential of designing a multi-layered and flexible living space in interior design studios increases. This situation provides alternative spatial articulations in the final product and representations as well as in the interior design process.

This article addresses the attempts in Britain in the 1930s to integrate modernist aesthetics with the home. A number of initiatives during this period were directed towards improving both standards of living and the public's taste: arising from exposure to continental modernism (Adolf Loos, Le Corbusier) and with a fervent belief in the democratisation of the living space, innovators such as Wells Coates, Jack and Molly Pritchard, and Maxwell Fry sought to re-invent the home for the twentieth century. The results were often short-lived, and in some cases, abject failures. Yet the negotiations that these designers, architects, and visionaries made between high-minded aesthetics and the practicalities of quotidian British life reveal much about standards of taste during the 1930s. This article takes two case studies in detail: The Lawn Road Flats – the Isokon Building – in Hampstead, London, and the activities of the Design and Industries Association (DIA). In doing so, I chart the ways in which interior design developed in Britain during the decade before the outbreak of World War Two, and explore how small-scale, short-lived activities in this period laid the foundations for a flowering of new modes of living post-1945.

Today, the building sector represents 44% of the energy consumed in France, far ahead of transportation, which makes it one of the key areas in the fight against global warming and invite the community to the energy transition. The shape, now is just a factor that is considered only aesthetically and not for its energy impact. The objective consumption of the various surfaces of the living space plays a crucial role in encouraging the energy transition in the building and civil engineering sector. In addition, the shape of the building as a whole, as well as the interior design, and the distribution of spaces have a significant influence on energy efficiency [1]. Our contribution in this paper is to make a numerical analysis of the impact of a building conception on its energy bill, more precisely, the influence of the geometry resulting from the assembly of these containers as well as their layout, and their orientations. The container represents a unit that is part of a complex and multiple systems, which offers a new opportunity for architects to rethink their designs both in terms of aesthetics and impact on the skyline as well as in the use of innovative, environmentally friendly and sustainable materials. In this paper we will focus on a purely formal analysis first with TRNSYS, and then we will start with an elementary modelling meeting the criteria of sustainability (eco-container), in those to lead to a design that is economical and energy efficient.

Under such context of people-oriented concept and an increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population, our country has seen a mature development in the interior design industry, thus more attention has been paid to the living space of the elder group. However, the present situation of this industry shows that the design standard for old people wasn't promoted effectively. Concerning their psychological characteristics and the psychological needs of the elderly primarily, the point of this article lies in figuring out the proper design to resolve the old people’ knots, thus achieving their sense of belonging, improving the quality of life in their later years, even extending their life, to create a real home for old people.

Furniture changes occur infrequently, while at the present time, people are more and more carefully approaching the selection of furniture. They want to see in their house not only practical, high-quality furniture, but also furniture made according to the latest fashion trends in modern design. Therefore, the goal of our research was the modern trends of the furniture market in 2019. The main fashion trends in styles, patterns, colors, materials, accessories, forms of furniture are considered. Fashion is cyclical and by the end of the 90s it became a gigantic industry. Color trends from fashion catwalks affect interior design, becoming relevant for furniture and decoration in the current and future season. The main trends in interior design are set by the largest world exhibitions ISaloni, Maison & Objet, IMM Cologne, Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair. It is at such large venues that you can see new technologies, ideas and solutions that will play a major role in the interior in the near future. Modern trends in the interior in 2019 indicate that a successful and fashionable design of the living space is not just a beautiful, cozy and stylish house, but also an expression of the individuality of the owner of the house.

“housing” is the fundamental need for life, and more than 2/3 of the human life is spent in house or other relevant living space. The life that we spent in the house derives various human affections. House, as a solid expression for the unit of families, carries people’s common and realistic demands for comfort and ecological living environment. Being the theme part of the interior design, the inner surface decoration is also the major place for connecting the other facilities. The inner surface design may have more possibilities to bring the ecology ideas to interior design, fulfill the intension and hasten the interior design to a higher wave, and surely it would accelerate the conservation of constructions from source consuming to recycling.

Постановка задачи. Рассматривается вопрос о роли современных цифровых методов в проектировании частного, жилого пространства. Результаты. Отмечается утрата в цифровую эпоху традиционного, индивидуального подхода к проектированию интерьеров, подмена творчества технической работой, индивидуальности системой кодов, а личности интерпретатором программного обеспечения. Выводы. Роль цифровых методов проектирования должна быть ограничена исключительно областью технического обеспечения реализации проекта. Человек не должен стать частью цифровой кодовой системы, то есть интерпретатором. Statement of the problem. The issue of the role of modern digital methods in the design of private living space is explored. Results. The digital era has witnessed a loss of the traditional, individual approach to interior design with technical work replaced by creativity, individuality by a system of codes, and personality by a software interpreter. Conclusions. The role of digital design methods should be limited exclusively to the area of technical support for project implementation. A person must not become a part of a digital code system, i.e., an interpreter.

This article is an attempt at outlining key aesthetic standards of interior design of the 1950s and 1960s on the basis of examples exhibited in the Polish and foreign romantic comedies of that time. Some distinguishing features of 1960s Polish aesthetics were the characteristic abstract language, organic form, asymmetry, diagonal lines, arrangements based on “A” and “X” letter outlines and lively colours. Furniture design used new materials mostly plywood and plastics such as polyvinyl chloride and epoxy resins. The 1960s, called “small stabilization” by design historians, were slightly different. Shops offered a variety of new products designed by Polish creators – such as furniture, home appliances, tools and machines. New Polish industrial design of 1960s is represented by the RAMONA and EWA radios and the BAMBINO record player, whereas sectional furniture – especially SYSTEM MK designed by Bogusława and Czesław Kowalski, better known as “the Kowalskis’ furniture” – became the icon of the decade. Polish and foreign romantic comedies from 1950s and 1960s are an excellent iconographic source of information on how interior design changed in the second half of the 20th century, and specifically on how living space was organized and adapted for private and public purposes. In Poland, attempts were made to use all the “design innovations” coming from the west, however, the immutably closed Polish borders prevented them from spreading freely. We had to use local designers. In the 2nd half of the twentieth century, a period which Prof Irena Huml called “the invasion of modernity” started. The doctrine of socialist realism was rejected and the focus was on modernity. Innovation became the most desirable feature of a work of art, and modernity the most important concept.
