Although living in their house while short period, they want to enhance satisfaction of life. It is also one of the reason that the meaning of house changes from just shelter to symbol of one's personality. As people who live alone persue emotional stability in their house, the desire decorating house with their own style increases.

 

 Finally, effect of media encourages people to take interest in self-interior. Now a days, TV programs about self-interior like "Dignity in my room" and "I'll give old house, Give me new house" occur gradually, and blogs about that are new trend. So because people are influenced by media, self-interior became trend among the young. In addition, through on-line community, and various SNS program, we can share vast information with people in all around the world. As sharing useful information each other, people pay attention more about self-interior and put in practice.
