Abstract:	The purpose of this research is to present a statement different from those of other domestic scholars who consider interior design in Taiwan began in 1960. The study discovered that various interior design achievements had been reported in the related reports and studies during the Japanese colonial period. Though the people in Taiwan were against the assimilation policy imposed by Japan in the period of Japanese occupation; however, certain achievements were accomplished, a foundation for industrialization and capitalization was laid and development of interior design started. The so-called interior design means to build and beautify an artificial indoor space through conscious planning and design. Results include the 30th Anniversary Exhibition held in Taiwan in 1925. The first “Window Display Competition” that was held by Enterprises Associations in Taipei in 1925 had become the pioneer in window display designs. “Bolero Coffee,” a famous coffee shop in Taipei designed by Liang-Yung Yang (1934), became a powerfully influential starting point in interior design in Taiwan. All the above mentioned could be proven as the best evidences to show that interior design had already took place during the Japanese colonial period in Taiwan. This study collected papers and studies associated with Taiwanese culture specialties and interior design related activities during the Japanese colonial period and used historical information to clear thoughts in order to construct a more complete history of interior design in Taiwan.
