碩士 === 中原大學 === 室內設計研究所 === 102 === In planning living spaces in a so-called house plan of three bedrooms, one living room and one dining area, the focus is usually on form and function, neglecting the significance of humanity—humans are the users of home spaces, in which domestic activities take place. There are numerous interior design photos being discussed. The exquisite settings are intentionally designed living scenes, with no signs of being actually lived in, lacking intimacy and comfort. The atmosphere of intimacy and comfort makes a home into a place. This study extracts the descriptions of daily life found in poetry, narrative, paintings, photography and movies, from which the looks of homes are recreated, and searches for the intrinsic quality of home spaces in daily lives. A comfortable living space is a common goal for all people to pursue. However, “comfortable”, in Latin confortāre, didn’t mean “to please” or “to satisfy”, but rather “to strengthen”, “to console” and “to support.” It didn’t get its meaning of “ease and coziness” until recent times. Professionals in the industry of interior design help improve home spaces to a comfortable state. In addition to hardware renewal and functional improvements, the meaning of intrinsic quality of interior design lies in creating a place where people, through practices of everyday life, develop a sense of belonging, gain physical and psychological securities, until they finally dwell in that place. In a broad sense, the interior design industry, with a humanistic trait, helps humans reconstruct, improve and reform their lives. And interior designers not only carry out the concepts of space, coordinate between different types of works, and are the most important driving force to create domesticity in home spaces.
