The Use of Batik Larangan in House Interior

Abstract

Indonesia is a country with many islands which have an ornamental wealth that comes from various tribes throughout the archipelago. This ornament is tangible that has a specific and certain meaning that needs to be preserved. Batik is one of the decorative styles that is still preserved and even the motifs presented follow the times. The existence of decorative styles really needs to be preserved considering many foreign cultures that enter Indonesia and have the potential to become a threat to the existence of these ornaments. People in Java are the example of a society that has a very thick culture. The combination of foreign culture with Indonesian culture, especially Javanese culture, can also adapt well. This can be seen from the many ornaments from batik motifs that are not only used on fabrics, but can also be used as ornaments for house facades, accessories, and furniture in interior spaces. In their application, apart from being a room decoration, these objects also have their own historical meanings and values so that the culture can be preserved in accordance with the historical values and meanings contained in the ornament or motif.
