Abstract:
The interior design industry consumes significant amounts of natural resources, making designers morally obligated to the planet and its inhabitants. Designers must consider sustainable solutions to avoid the depletion of fragile ecological systems; they must employ different strategies to adjust all aspects of interior design to incorporate sustainable solutions, despite the many obstacles. This paper aims to explore the barriers preventing the implementation of sustainable design. This study focuses on sustainable practice within the context of interior design solutions.
