ABSTRACT

Visual appearance can play role as part of interior design elements, such as room accessories and furniture, which also blend with interior design elements of the room. The purpose of this study is to determine the form and function of graphic illustrations in certain places that will have a role when applied to a space that already has its functional value. The theory of design principles is used to be able to observe the graphic illustrations applied to each interior design element in these rooms. By using qualitative methods, literature studies, direct observation, and interviews with the artists involved were carried out to analyze the data. Findings from the research suggest that graphic illustrations applied to interior design elements no longer have a functional value as a work of art. The graphic illustration has a new function, namely as a supporting element for activities in space by the users of the space.
