Rome.

Interiors: Like the Greeks, the Romans liked their colors. The use of rich green, blue, purple, and gold were used for the majority of the Roman's color scheme of their interiors. Rich, beautiful tapestries were also a decorating style the Greeks used to cover and decorate their walls.

The discovery and use of the Arch in the Roman design and architecture was the reason behind the amount of inventiveness used by the Romans. As opposed to the Greeks who used post-and-lintel the Romans took advantage of the arch, which, in turn led to the Roman exploration of the Arch and the creation of the barrel vault and dome adding to the architectural potential. That being said, the majority of the design process was focused on the exteriors rather than the interiors; However, sculptural design was also a focus, which is why a lot of the decoration in the interiors consisted a lot of gilded statues.

In addition to the use of the Arch, the Romans had a new material to work with: concrete. Although a lot of the building seems to be made from stone, concrete was the main building material. The Romans also took natural lighting into consideration, so much so that the Pantheon did not need any artificial lighting.
