Author : Monisha B and Dr. Nischay N Gowda

Abstract

Minimalist interior design, characterized by simplicity, functionality, and timeless aesthetics, has emerged as a sustainable approach to residential building design. This research examines how sustainability principles are seamlessly integrated into minimalist interiors, focusing on material selection, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. By leveraging eco-friendly materials, optimizing space utilization, and incorporating energy-saving technologies, minimalist design not only reduces environmental impact but also enhances the well-being of occupants. The study highlights case studies and literature findings that showcase the effectiveness of this approach in achieving ecological harmony and resource efficiency. Challenges such as cost and material availability are discussed, alongside the long-term benefits of sustainable minimalist practices. This paper underscores the potential of minimalist design as a viable pathway toward sustainable residential living. This paper explores how sustainability is integrated into minimalist residential interiors by examining the principles of material selection, energy efficiency, and waste reduction. Using case studies and literature reviews, the research highlights the positive environmental impacts of adopting minimalist design strategies in residential buildings. Results indicate that sustainability not only enhances environmental performance but also promotes health, well-being, and cost savings for residents.
