The elderly passes through many physical and physiological changes which necessarily reflected on the psychological and social features in him. The psychological status in the elderly is a result of a number of factors, each one of them affect positively or negatively on the psyche of the elderly. It is therefore not a typical case of all people, but each one of them has his own case according to the influence of different factors and the extent of his influence. These psychological changes at this stage necessarily require aesthetic formulation of the surrounding environment in order to achieve psychological comfort and calm.
And from this came the research idea of preparing the elderly surrounding environment through designing printed fabrics for furnishing the rooms to suit this stage taste and give the sense of psychological comfort and calm on the elderly. The researcher did this through displaying opinion poll on a sample of elderly people (male and female) to know the preferred color groups to the elderly which raised the feelings of each color group. The recent studies proved that color considered as one of the important design elements. It affects the human when he sees it because of the reflected colors .It gives the elderly the sense of tranquility and comfort or sadness and depression.
It has been recording their color preferences and use them in designing suitable designs for every type of textiles (Curtain- furnishing) by using sample geometrical shapes which inspired from some paintings of modern art. So this study considered as an attempt to compensate for the decline in the mental status resulting from the decline in the physical condition of the elderly and his inability to movement as in the past. Therefore he/she would have to stay at home for long periods and especially in the bedrooms or living rooms, through changing the surrounding environment of the elderly through creating designs suitable for print upholstery fabrics for the elderly rooms according to their preferences of color that rise the positive senses in them.
