Abstract

The following work outlines the social, cultural and historically-specific character of the concept of domestic interior from the social history of design perspective. Standing on a comparative analysis of the configurations of some urban domestic interiors of the bourgeois and middle classes of England, France, Italy, Holland, Germany, Spain and America from the 16th till the 20th centuries, six notions of the domestic interior are established, which reflect the ideas and values prioritized by these societies to give form and content to such a kind of space according to their needs and wishes.
