Interior design reflects the perspective of homeowners through their adopted design approach, serving as a fundamental pillar of the home. It has a significant impact on the psychology, comfort, and sense of belonging of its residents. However, with the shift toward the new global system (globalization) and its influences, it has become increasingly difficult to highlight cultural identity in interior design.

The research problem is summarized as the absence of cultural identity in interior design in the era of globalization and the lack of a distinctive identity that combines modern design with cultural heritage. The importance and goal of this research are to highlight and promote Palestinian cultural identity in modern interior design, thereby enhancing national and heritage belonging.

This research will examine a practical case study of the Palestinian Ambassador's residence in Spain. As a diplomatic home, it represents a national facade that reflects Palestinian identity. The design incorporates and showcases Palestinian heritage in a modern manner that aligns with contemporary times and modernity. It highlights Palestinian heritage features influenced by modern designs while preserving traditional roots. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical approach to analyze the practical case of the Palestinian Ambassador's residence in Spain.

One of the main findings of this research is that the determinants of Palestinian cultural identity function as a mirror reflecting the civilization of its people. In other words, the absence of these determinants makes it challenging to identify the identity as Palestinian. The research emphasizes leveraging the advancements of globalization and technological progress to serve interior design and cultural identity, while respecting the constants of a dynamic identity and the changing dimensions of culture.
