Interior design under the perspective of aesthetic education tends to favour the application of four elements: functional composition, natural landscape, aesthetic atmosphere and humanistic environment. The visual perception model designed in this paper can discriminate the visual salience of design elements in interior graphic design from the perspective of aesthetic education in terms of form, colour and texture. The aesthetic effect assessment model used to reduce the influence of subjectivity was constructed using hierarchical analysis and grey correlation analysis. The results of practical application show that 35 professional designers rated the interior space designed based on the model as ‘good’, which indicates that the model in this paper can be used to design the interior space from the perspective of aesthetic education at a high level.
