Digital spaces are reshaping interior spaces, enabling the
expression of cultural identity and the depiction of traditional culture,
spatial rituals, and aesthetic tastes in digital spaces. The research
investigates the role of digital technologies in interior design in preserving,
transforming, and evolving cultural identities. It seeks to analyse how digital
interiors are being used as a means of expressing cultural continuity,
promoting inclusivity, and enriching personalisation in a globalised digital space.
The study employs qualitative, interpretive methods with comparative case
studies, visual analysis, and user interviews. Results show clear patterns of
localisation, hybridisation, and cultural continuity in digital interiors.
Users incorporate conventional motifs, colours, religious symbols, and rituals
in virtual environments, particularly in diasporic communities. Technologies
such as VR and IoT enable culturally responsive design but raise challenges
such as restricted access and platform limitations. Digital media provide
innovative opportunities to reconceptualise heritage in forms that are
immersive and inclusive. The research highlights the necessity of culturally
responsive design approaches that reconcile contemporary technologies with the maintenance
of identity, tradition, and membership.
