This paper proposes an interior coordination method which uses model moms made by furniture manufacturers, distributors, stores, designers and so forth. Interior coordination involves furniture selection, in which inhabitants’ preferences, generation, life style must be considered, and furniture placement, in which many conditions for building a functional, comfortable room must be satisfied. The proposed method adopts case-bawd reasoning for furniture selection and constraint satisfaction paradigm for furniture placement. The method allows users to specify ambiguous, incomplete request, and enables them to obtain an interior coordination of furniture efficiently without the use of an interior designer. Examples of the output produced by the proposed method are also shown in this paper.
