VERNACULAR MATERIALS USED IN A BEDROOM OF A RESIDENCE

Abstract

Vernacular architecture embodies a plurality of constraints from places where it belongs, in which the use of local materials and techniques is one of the key features. When compared with industrially produced materials, vernacular materials have low environmental impacts, being an alternative to sustainable materials. Vernacular design has a historical and cultural value that represents a local identity and emerges from the surrounding environment. This design is inspired by nature and also make use of local materials and traditional construction techniques after considering the geographical and climatic features of the region. Therefore, most vernacular designs offer sustainable solutions. However, only fewer studies have talked about the relation between vernacular and contemporary sustainable designs solutions for interiors. In this paper, we will analyse the properties and benefits of each vernacular material used in a bedroom. This will provide a comprehensive understanding of their uses and advantages. We will examine each material's durability, versatility, comfort, and aesthetic appeal. Additionally, we will evaluate factors like cost, sustainability, and availability. By doing so, we will generate a report that highlights the unique advantages and disadvantages of each material, allowing designers to make informed decisions about the materials they use in their bedroom designs. Explore trends in vernacular material usage and how they impact the bedroom industry, including the sustainability and eco-friendliness of materials. Analyse how vernacular materials can be creatively incorporated into bedroom design, and how this impacts the overall aesthetic appeal of the room. Examine the practical considerations of using vernacular materials in a bedroom, such as maintenance requirements and ease of cleaning.
