To generate effective designs for the aging population, ergonomic designs that are followed by accurate anthropometry are to be considered. After retirement, people tend to move into their comfort zones which gradually results in the retardation of brain activities as well as physical activities. “GERIATRIC “GERIATRIC FRIENDLY INTERIORS’’- Geriatrics is a medical term that is related to the overall healthcare (both mental and physical) of the elderly people (above 60 years of age). It can only be altered by adding some interesting factors into their existing living space which helps them to boost their mental and physical activities and so does keep them away from deadly conditions. And it is equally important to understand their restrictions and problems which are related to living space to achieve effective planning.

Thus, it is very important to encompass the preferences of the elderly population while designing any space for their productivity, life quality, self-dependence, and wellness.
