Abstract:	Taiwan was ruled by Japan from 1895 to 1945, and a national government then took over Taiwan after World War II in 1945. Japanese culture deeply impacted post-war Taiwan and a new multiculturalism emerged in Taiwanese society. Taiwanese economic growth was driven by U.S. Aid, which led to the development of interior design from scratch to rich-form-without-content formalism, then readjusted back to functionalism. The evolution processes restarted by rational orientation became the sequence for the continuation of history, therefore developed to modern professional interior design industry. This study aimed at changes of post-war Taiwanese interior design development, through the method of literatures reviews and interviews and using interior designers as the objects in investigation, to discover the various types of factors impacted on changes of interior design development in Taiwan. This study discovered the factors that concerned the interior design development in Taiwan including: (1) Different design language from different educational backgrounds and experiences; (2) Impact of environment-oriented; (3) The spirit of post-colonial period and multiculturalism; (4) Enhancement of knowledge, attitudes and cognitive; (5) Establishment of professional interior design industry; (6) Changes of lifestyle; (7) Development of information, technology and so forth.
