Korean-Western Blended Interior Style and Its Meaning in the Korean Royal Palaces During the Japanese Colonial Period - Focused on the Daejojeon and Huijeongdang in Changdeokgung Palace -

During Japan's colonial rule over Korea, the Changdeokgung Palace Complex's Daejojeon and Huijeongdang showcased a unique fusion of Korean and Western interior design elements. This blend, characterized by traditional Korean aesthetics in upper sections and Western influences—particularly French—below, reflected both colonial political pressures and evolving domestic sensibilities toward Western decoration. The study reveals that this eclecticism was not merely a product of modernity but also a response to Japan's own cultural synthesis with the West, offering insights into Korea's interior design industry during this period.
