Abstract This study attempts to analyze the characteristics and changing trends of the interior design of modern Korean houses since 1960s, and to understand the impacts of Western architecture and design. The photos of 101 houses were selected from the magazines published since 1960s. The data collected were analyzed via frequency, percentage, and average. The result reveals that the interior design of the living rooms in modern Korean houses has undergone lots of changes in finishing materials, window treatments, types of cabinets, and use of lighting fixtures. It is concluded that 1960-1970's is a period of introducing Western design as a superior, while 1980's is a period of exploring various ways toward harmony between Korean style and Western styles, and 1990's is a period of settlement of Koreanized modernism style.
