The increasing global demand for sustainable buildings has shifted the focus of interior design from aesthetic enhancement toward environmentally responsible and energy-conscious solutions. Electrical systems represent a critical component of building performance, influencing energy consumption, occupant comfort, operational efficiency, and environmental impact. Traditional electrical systems in interior spaces were primarily designed to provide basic lighting and power distribution; however, contemporary sustainable design approaches emphasize intelligent, efficient, and integrated electrical solutions. This review paper explores the role of energy-efficient electrical systems in sustainable interior design projects. The study examines advanced lighting technologies, smart control systems, energy monitoring solutions, renewable energy integration, efficient electrical appliances, and building automation technologies. The relationship between electrical system design and interior planning is analyzed with respect to lighting quality, user comfort, energy optimization, and environmental sustainability. The paper highlights that successful integration of electrical systems requires collaboration between electrical engineers, architects, and interior designers from the early stages of design development. Technologies such as LED lighting, daylight-responsive controls, occupancy sensors, smart energy management systems, and photovoltaic integration provide opportunities to reduce energy consumption while enhancing the quality of interior environments. However, challenges including initial investment costs, technological complexity, maintenance requirements, and compatibility issues remain important considerations. The review concludes that energy-efficient electrical systems are essential components of sustainable interior design projects and will continue to influence future approaches toward intelligent, adaptive, and environmentally responsible spaces.
