In contemporary times, by combining technology, adaptability, and ergonomics, smart interiors offer a revolutionary approach to residential design that produces user-centered, efficient, and adaptable homes. Smart interiors improve overall lifestyle quality, comfort, convenience, and energy efficiency by utilizing IoT devices, automated systems, and modular furniture. This study explores how a combination of design techniques and technological advancements can turn conventional homes into intelligent living environments. To comprehend user needs, spatial organization, and technology integration, the study takes a qualitative and exploratory approach, using case studies of real smart homes, resident surveys and interviews, and analysis of modern interior systems. Sustainable energy practices, user experience considerations, adaptive furniture layouts, and functional zoning are important areas of focus. The creation of thorough design guidelines that help homeowners and interior designers apply clever solutions efficiently are one of the anticipated results of this research. This will guarantee that residential spaces are not only technologically sophisticated but also ergonomically comfortable, aesthetically pleasing, and adaptable to changing lifestyles. To create future-ready homes that seamlessly integrate technology with everyday living needs, this study will combine intelligent systems, sustainable practices, and user-centered design.
Keywords: Ergonomic design, IoT integration, smart homes, sustainable interiors, user-centered design.
