The article is devoted to the analysis of prospects and design tools for eco-interiors in the fields of tourism and commercial real estate in the context of sustainable development and the ESG agenda. The study examines the concept and essence of eco-interiors, as well as the evolution of approaches to environmentally oriented interior design. Particular attention is paid to industry-specific features of implementing eco-interiors in tourism facilities and commercial real estate, with similarities and differences in goals, tools, and outcomes identified. Based on an analysis of contemporary academic research, the tools for eco-interior design are systematized, including biophilic design, environmentally friendly materials, sustainability standards, and smart technologies. The prospects for the development of ecological interior design are revealed, associated with the transition to post-carbon design models and the strengthening of an interdisciplinary approach. The article concludes that eco-interiors are playing an increasingly important role as a tool for creating sustainable, human-centered, and competitive spaces.
