Abstract
The interior design sector within the construction industry plays a pivotal role in economic development and significantly contributes to environmental degradation. Unlike broader architectural assessments that emphasize structural and external elements, this study highlights the unique challenges and opportunities within interior design. By examining trends and gaps in sustainable interior design criteria from 2013 to 2023, the research provides a foundation for developing specific actionable standards for this often-overlooked sector. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) checklist guided the review process. Data were collected from recognized indexing databases using rigorous inclusion criteria. Selected studies were analyzed based on a mixed-methods approach. The study aims to highlight key trends and synthesize research themes. This systematic review addresses the critical gap in the literature regarding the sustainability of interior design. The findings reveal a lack of comprehensive criteria and tailored guidelines for assessing interior design sustainability, which hinders the effective implementation of sustainable practices. This review underscores the necessity of micro-scale analysis in interior design, providing new insights into sustainable practices and contributing to the broader discourse on sustainable architecture. The study proposes a guideline as a foundation for developing specific actionable standards for assessing sustainability in interior design.
