From the perspective of interior design, the purpose of applying ergonomics is to make indoor environmental factors fully meet the needs of people's life activities from both physiological and psychological aspects, so as to improve indoor use functions and obtain an ideal living environment.
Human activities are most closely related to human motor organs and sensory organs. Motor organs have a certain scale and activities have a certain range. Whether standing or sitting, raising hands, stepping and other postures, there are certain ways and distances. Therefore, for the space design, furniture and appliance design related to activities, we must consider people's physical characteristics and action characteristics, so as to minimize people's fatigue and maximize people's activity efficiency. This is the significance of studying ergonomics in architectural decoration design.

Ergonomics originated in Europe and America. It turns out that in the industrial society, when a large number of mechanical facilities are produced and used, the harmonious relationship between man and machinery is explored. As an independent discipline, it has a history of more than 40 years.
Military science and technology in World War II began to apply the principles and methods of ergonomics. In the design of tanks and aircraft, how to make people operate and fight effectively in the cabin and reduce fatigue in a narrow space for as long as possible, that is, how to deal with the harmonious relationship between people, machines and environment. After World War II, countries quickly and effectively applied the practice and research results of ergonomics to space technology, industrial production, architecture and interior design, and established the International Association of Ergonomics in 1960.
Today, social development is in transition to post-industrial society and information society, and people-oriented attaches importance to serving people. Ergonomics emphasizes the new idea of comprehensively analyzing everyone's life and production activities on the premise of taking people as the main body.
In fact, people-things-environment is a closely linked system, and it is expected that ergonomics will actively and efficiently dominate the living environment in the future.
