Green Nanomaterials in Interior Design: Advancing Sustainability through Nanotechnology

Nanostructures, such as coatings and composites, offer enhanced performance in sustainable building applications have taken on a variety of shapes, from smoke particles to skeletal lifelike to seashells. Gold particles were developed by Michael Faraday in 1857, and during the succeeding 70 years, the first of innumerable nanostructured catalysts was developed. Nanophase engineering has come into vogue where manipulation of mechanical, catalytic, electrical, magnetic, optical, and electronic properties for a wide range of structural and functional materials can take place. Nanotechnology transforms architecture and interior design through innovative and sustainable answers to contemporary environmental problems like self-cleaning coatings, high-strength composites, and green nanomaterials. This research explores potential uses of nanotechnology in interior design, focusing on tackling climate change and building-related issues. Nanostructured materials offer performance gains while lessening resource and energy consumption. However, environmental impact and health risks remain concerns. This review explores the role of nanotechnology in sustainability, energy efficiency, and environmental safety while mentioning cha. llenges like toxicity, cost, and scalability. The aim of the present study is to conduct a literature review on nanomaterials and their uses in interior design. The program emphasizes on main materials, such as nanostructured cement-based materials, nano-coatings, insulation technologies and green nanomaterials. This descriptive analytical approach aims to survey these materials and their potential impact on sustainability in interior design. The literature reviewed demonstrates the advantages of nanotechnology in the areas of interior design and construction, with a major emphasis on enhanced performance and sustainability in relation to the material. Nano-engineered concrete, which is more hardy and strong, thermally insulated and low maintenance. They minimize the presence of pollutants and optimise energy-saving performance. Nanotechnology is also used in interior design, with surfaces that are air-purifying, antimicrobial, and moisture-resistant. Natural nanomaterials such as shellac and nano-cellulose provide eco-friendly alternatives to synthetic coatings. More research is needed into the environmental and human health effects and safe application of nanomaterials. Nanotechnology will transform the field of architecture and interior design by allowing for intelligent, responsive buildings that respond dynamically to their environment, use energy efficiently, and improve comfort. Emphasis on biodegradable and non-toxic nanomaterials is consistent with international sustainability aspirations, ensuring that innovative and green buildings are sustainable. Green nanomaterials provide functional, aesthetic, and low-impact interior design opportunities. Research has to be developed to optimize applications of nanotechnology in architecture, especially cement-based materials, for maximum benefits while effectively managing risks. The use of nanotechnology in construction and interior design will make buildings more sustainable, eco-friendly, and energy- efficient.
