Interior textiles in the house museum provide a useful framework for understanding how home culture was shaped, experienced, and imagined in that period. Interior textiles in a house museum provide a rich source for researchers to get background information. These textiles can be original, non-original or replicas. During the research, it was found out that the original upholstery fabrics were replaced with the fabrics that did not match with the original ones as a result of the restoration of Atatürk House Museum. For this reason, the research was carried out with the non-original textiles. Here, the critical question is “Do the non-original textiles fail to reflect the spirit of a nation or a personal taste?”. This study investigates the connection between the non-original textiles and the early republic period. Within the scope of the research, the researcher has interpreted the design features and upholstery fabrics of one armchair, one sofa and three chairs, which stand in the drawing room, bedroom, dining hall and meeting hall. <br /> </p>}, number={26}, publisher={Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi}
