As a result of the art critical analysis of the decorative and artistic features of designing rural housing in Naddniprianshchyna in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, it was discovered that the assimilation by Ukrainian culture - in particular, the domestic modernism – of the semantic principles of Western and Oriental art was the embodiment of a certain qualitative specificity of human relations with the world, which affected the peculiarities of the internal subject environment of the modernist style of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. The materializing tradition of the exterior and interior of the Ukrainian dwelling, with its locally-regional constructive and decorative-artistic features, becomes an embodiment of a distinctive artistic and aesthetic reality.
