The current progress in scientifictechnology thanks to industrialization led to an increase in income, urbanization, aging society in our lives. As we conquered the nature, however, the environment got devastated and the order of human nature went derailed.
Under such circumstances, the modern people are focusing more on a healthy and comfortable life and the happiness rather than on the economic abundance of fast-moving mass-production and state-of-the-art technology. As a result, interest rose in pro-environment housing and a new Life Style called Well-being spread out into the whole life of food, clothing and housing. Under a Global age where different civilizations are mingled, consumers are entering into a 'Self-Expression' era where they deny fixed-ideas and express their creative personalities.
This paper examined the perspective changes of consumers due to the 'Sick House Syndrome' and the industry and design in the wallpaper production before getting into the actual design of the wallpaper and analyzed the progress in details. This means that pro-nature in the existence of nature and company is not a matter of choice but a matter of existence that goes beyond the meaning of trend.
The changes in design can be seen in the 2005/2006 interior analysis. Among those are harmony, comfort, variety and continuity of pro-environment green tone color and there is a preference in terms of trend, design, color where it prefers nature, material, ethnic and health.
This shows the desire of the consumers who pursues a comfortable life through nature and a pleasant life that wants to expand its life into the nature and enjoy the true life of 'well-being'.
Considering these themes, 8 themes as of ‘Impressed memories on wooden fence', 'Blown willow away from refreshing wind', 'Basket of firmed and cooled image', 'Summer beach on spending time', 'Feeling rice-straw to warm air', 'Falling leaves in comfortable rest', 'Breathing garden woman's fragrance', 'Left picnic into a familiar landscape' has been visualized into the wallpaper design.
As you can see from the theme names above, the meaning of the nature motive linked the shape beauty of the external model to a motive from the ultimate power of nature such as flower, tree, leaves and water.
That is, it visualized the interaction with human into a sensitive language through an image from a memory rather than from simple objects such as leaves or grass. Also it tried to make us recognize that the image of nature is a carrier of the space presentation where human and nature coexist.
Also, designing wallpaper gives out anenvironmental concept of Eco design rather than a Pattern design and tried to show our will of a new change in views rather than environmental regulation. It has the intent to givecomfort of nature, convenience, mental stability, mature personality progress through visual images by presenting the lively nature to the interior space and to restore the human nature that is fading away nowadays.
In this study, I took 'well-being' as a comfortable life with nature rather than as a boom that diluted the true meaning and was used as a commercial/material 'luxury troop' like trend. Accordingly, I hope this studycan be of help to people in the interior academics and industry and take the current transforming term as an opportunity in improving the wallpaper industry under the 'well-being' era. Finally, I hope the wallpaper industry can develop a design that has the sensitivity which is understood and desired by everyone so that it can work as a turning point in luring the enormous potential demand of the consumers.
