Abstract
This literature review examines how digital interior design tools—particularly systems combining data-driven intelligence, connected devices, and immersive visual platforms—can enhance home accessibility and adaptability. The discussion focuses on the development of an interactive consultation environment that incorporates personalized layout recommendations, real-time environmental input, and virtual visualization, all tailored to user needs. Emphasis is placed on the significance of inclusive design, especially for individuals with limited digital skills or physical impairments. Drawing from regional planning goals such as the UAE’s Vision 2031, the review highlights the growing demand for flexible and culturally responsive home solutions. Key studies are analyzed to understand current shortcomings in smart design platforms, including complexity, cost, and limited consideration of user diversity. The paper also explores how connected technologies can work together to support sustainable living, energy use monitoring, and improved user experience. Existing theoretical models like the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) provide a framework for assessing user reception. The review ultimately identifies the importance of designing adaptable, easy-to-use environments that can evolve with household needs and expectations, especially within rapidly developing urban contexts.
