Due to the housing they live, dwellers consciously or unconsciously give specific messages about their personal characteristics apart from their socio-cultural group.

With this study, colours preferences of dwellers in different socio-cultural groups for furniture in their housing which is the most prominent space reflecting culture were determined.

As a result of the study it was examined that dwellers in two different socio-cultural groups used different colours in their housing furniture and differences between are revealed them.References
