dc.description.abstractAUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract: Designing for Life: Interior that Nurtures Aging addresses the principles of interior design for an aging population. Understanding their challenges is critical to maintaining quality of life and independence. This research focuses on people aged 60 and older and considers their varying abilities, health conditions, and preferences. Indoor spaces can create inclusive environments by incorporating accessibility, safety, and social interaction. Natural light, green spaces, and adaptable designs promote seniors' health and well-being. Cultural and individual preferences are also respected. It is critical to fully understand the needs of the aging population to create environments that support aging with dignity by examining how factors such as lighting, color, acoustics, and ergonomics influence to creation of supportive and inclusive interior spaces. In this paper, we examine current living spaces and analyze design methods. This includes studies, surveys of older people's preferences, reviews of existing literature, and consideration of future population projections. The findings underscore the importance of active research on housing for older people, community living, and the role of interior design. Research the design principles required to create interior spaces that meet the needs of an aging population. By incorporating research-based knowledge into the design process, interior designers can enhance the quality of their work, improve the user experience, and contribute to advancing the fielden
