본 연구는 실용테이블 데커레이션의 수준별 요소에 일정한 규칙의 색채변환을 주어 관찰자(응답자) 선호의 색채 테이블과 이미지 형용사, 심미성의 각 영향 요소간의 관계성 고찰로 이는 선행 연구인 '식음 테이블 데커레이션의 관찰자 선호도에 대한 조사 분석'의 검증연구이다. 연구결과로 색채 이미지와 선호도는 '고급스러운, 먹고싶은'의 이미지로, 중 저의 어두운 톤인 브라운 색채와 '따뜻한, 화사한' 이미지의 주황색 톤이 선호되었다. 선호도와 심미성 영향 요소와의 관계 평가에서는 일반인들은 '통일성, 게슈탈트'의 영향요소를 중요하게 인식하였고, 비전문가들은 '독특성'이 부각되었다. 본 연구는 자극물 선정에서 색채 변환에 의존함에 따라 T P O에 적합한 분위기 연출의 미흡 부적합 등 현실성의 문제점과 설문 응답이 이루어진 시기, 즉 계절, 세대 간 변수, 자극물 선정 등의 문제점이 제기되나, 실용 테이블 데커레이션에의 선호 디자인에 대한 프로세스를 제안함으로써 정성적 연출뿐만 아니라 정량적인 데이터를 이용한 새로운 디자인 방향을 제시하였다는데 의의가 있다.
