In the shade of the national project of developing education in Egypt, school books and teaching strategies have been changing without regarding of classrooms interior design. Whereas classrooms interior design lacks a lot of environmental, emotional, social, physical and psychological effects in a way blocking the achieving of new educational system’s philosophy and goals.

So the research aims at studying interior spaces for classrooms to evaluate the current situation and monitor weak points that affect motivating the learner during the educational process. Also it aims at giving solutions in interior design contributing to applying the new educational system effectively in a way appropriate to Egypt’s position and history as it has been the flame that illuminates the journey of human civilization. Through merging between classrooms interior design elements, students learning styles and the new educational system philosophy, the research could find some criteria that enhance thinking and creativity for students. The research recommends caring for design and applied researches in the field of the primary schools and also using interior designers to find nontraditional solutions to face drawbacks in classrooms in the new educational system.
