The relationship between the time spent in the house and importance of aesthetical objects On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between the use of the living room and occupational status. Also, there is no significant relationship between the use of the living room and time spent in the house. Rechavi (2004) stated that the time spent in the house or the time spent working outside of the house did not affect the use of the living room. Also Also, in the current study whether a respondent is working or not working and spent ti time me in the house accordingly, the usage of living room is in the same pattern.

3.3.4. The Sources of Interior Design of the Living Room This section relates to the qualitative analysis of the results that are related to the sources of interior design of the living room and the style of the living room. Rechavi (2004) states that the sources of the interior design of the living room develop both with the style and dweller’s concept of what a living room might look like. Grier (1988) claims that middle class dwellers have the opportunity to see what a living room should look like from the pictures of living rooms of upper class in exhibitions in 19 th century, trains, or women magazines. Cooper- Marcus (1995) state that dwellers reflect their childhood memories into their houses not as direct replicas, but these reflections aimed to create a certain atmosphere. Rechavi (2004) also states that the concept of living room in one’s mind is developed both by the objects in the living room and the activities that are performed in the living room. In her (2004) study, participants developed the concept of living room by childhood memories, stores, TV programs, magazines, books or other people’s houses. The childhood house of dwellers was the most frequently mentioned source. In the current study, the sources of the interior design of the living room were asked to the respondents. Respondents could mention more than one source. According to the responses, the main sources are stores, magazines, other people’s houses, interior architects, childhood memories, books, TV and internet (see Figure 3.26 for frequencies of sources of interior design of the living room). The sources of the interior design of the living room are mostly developed by stores or magazines. As mentioned before, the design decisions of the living rooms were mostly taken by 71
