| Abstract | ||||
| The process of interior design is effectively linked with the function and aesthetics of the space. It is also the way of turning space from a mere expression of material and masses into living objects through which the space user lives the story of feeling for the art of interior design. There are factors which affect the individual's peace and comfort; these include the psychological effects of light regulation, the features of the material, and the choice of colors (warm or cold). Because of the importance of illumination and colors and their vital effect in developing interior space and controlling the psychological and physiological comfort of the space user, this paper has been prepared to explore the role of utilizing light and colors in interior design of Living Rooms (in Cairo-Egypt) in order to support and develop the design process aiming to provide psychological, environmental and visual comfort inside the space. The model aims to set criteria for providing illumination, both natural and artificial and also colors, together with setting bases for the interior design of different spaces within the living room. A descriptive analytical approach is implemented through a thorough study of colors and lighting and their effective relationship within the space of living room. Fifty prospective dwellers participated in a survey using virtual reality environments that presented required design bases for selected colors and lighting groups in living rooms. The aim was to measure the physiological and psychological effect of the selection of colors and lighting on man. | ||||
