Abstract This study explores the interior image preferred by females living in urban areas. It also examines the relationship between interior image and socio-demographic characteristics such as age, marital status, employment status, total household income.
The target population of this study was 301 adult females living in Kwangju City. The data were analyzed with frequency, percentage, General Linear Model, and Duncan's multiple range test using the SAS package. The major findings of this study were as follows.
1) The majority of the females generally preferred modernity of interior image to traditionalism. Also they preferred feminity of interior image to masculinity and complexity to simplicity.
2) Females in the age of 40s were more likely to prefer simple and oriental-traditionalism image to those under the age of 30s.
3) Those with the higher total household income were more likely prefer western-traditionalism image to those with the lower.
But those with the lower household income were more tended to prefer modernity image to those with the higher.
