Summary/Abstract: The interior organization of a traditional peasant’s dwelling was made in a tight connection with the plan and the dimension of the house. The number and the functions of the rooms determine the content and the way in which the component elements are distributed. The interior of the peasant’s house gathers different categories of objects with a functional and decoration character. Therefore, it is constituted in an essential component of the popular civilization. The most important element, through its signification, use and architecture is the fireplace. The beds, the cupboards for the dishes or food, the table, the chairs, the wooden or metal stands and other items represent the furniture, specific for the interior of a traditional peasant’s house from Oltenia.
