Abstract
This article examines the design, the meaning, and the use of home interiors in terms of the reciprocal relations among cultural, sociodemographic, and psychological dimensions and the organization of spaces and activities. Moreover, in order to comprehend the complex nature of these dimensions, it is suggested that they ought to be studied in terms of a dual historical perspective. This approach provides a more comprehensive framework than that presented by many recent publications.Keywords
