The interior of the Umayyad era in a contemporary context

Abstract

Some aspects of the culture of the Umayyad era are considered. Despite the active interaction of early Islamic culture with the cultures of Persia, Byzantium, Rome and Central Asia, traditional Arabic poetry remains an object of deep veneration. The basic ethical and aesthetic principles of Arabic poetry were transformed into the methods of decoration of residential, palace and temple interiors. In particular, these principles can be traced in the motifs of Arab textiles, in particular carpets. It is concluded that traditional culture can be preserved in some elements of interior design despite significant external changes.
