Resumen
Interior design plays an important role in reflecting the social and cultural environments of countries and showing the characteristics of the age. The previous literature has suggested that people?s preferences for interior design styles are influenced by social distinctions, based on education level and age. In this study, we have argued more precisely socio ? demographic factors (gender, age, income, major and city) that affect the Egyptians? preferences for interior design styles, and have discussed to what extent do the people preferences reflect Zeitgeist in Egypt. The findings supported the idea that socio-demographic factors can explain people?s design preferences.© 2016. The Authors. Published for AMER ABRA by e-International Publishing House, Ltd., UK.
