Abstract: This study addresses the prevalent lack of artistic expression in public cultural spaces, which often results in visually monotonous environments with diminished cultural atmosphere and emotional engagement. To achieve a balance between functionality and aesthetics, we propose an integrative design framework that incorporates four distinct painting styles - abstractionism, impressionism, cubism, and realism - into spatial design. While the museum serves as the primary case for in-depth intervention and analysis, the framework's applicability is systematically extended to other public cultural spaces, including city libraries, community cultural centres, science and technology exhibition halls, and historical memorial halls. The design integration encompasses multiple architectural elements such as walls, ceilings, floors, exhibition stands, entrances, and exhibit backgrounds, each informed by specific stylistic principles. Results demonstrate that the fusion of painting styles significantly enhances spatial appeal and audience engagement. For instance, in the museum, the abstract style design increased average visitor stay time from 1.2 hours to 2.4 hours and interaction frequency from three to eight times. Cross-case analysis confirms the framework's broad effectiveness, with consistent improvements in dwell time and interactivity across all space types. This research establishes a replicable, interdisciplinary model for enriching diverse public cultural environments through art-informed spatial design.
