Abstract
Sustainable interior materials are changing the way we design homes. They help protect planet while still looking beautiful and feeling comfortable. This study looks at how these materials are actually used in homes. Today, climate change and running out of natural resources are serious problems. Sustainable materials give a practical and smart solution for home interiors. For example, bamboo floors grow back quickly, reused wood adds warmth to walls, countertops can be made from recycled glass, cork can be used for soft wall or floor details, and paints can be chosen so they do not release harmful fumes. This study examines these materials from the moment they are collected until they are thrown away or recycled. It evaluates their sustainability, durability, emissions impact, and end of life disposal. Reclaimed timber makes a room feel warm. Sustainable textiles like hemp are soft to touch. It makes the air fresh inside the houses. Bamboo is also a choice because it is good for the environment. Reclaimed timber and sustainable textiles like hemp are all options for the people who want to live in a home that is better, for the earth. Using these materials can reduce energy use in production by about 30%, improve indoor air quality, help homes meet green building standards such as LEED. Although these materials can cost more at first, they often save money over time because they last longer. Supply can sometimes be limited, but real net-zero homes have shown they can cut construction waste by 20-30%. By using these materials, designers can create homes that are comfortable, attractive, and good for the environment, encouraging more people to adopt sustainable choices.
