Abstract: This paper aims to improve the performance of cabin interiors by introducing carbon fibre materials in sustainable materials to meet the ship's requirements for safety, stability, and sound insulation. The first step involved choosing sustainable materials for ship cabin interior decoration and outlining their qualities; the second involved precisely preparing carbon fibre materials by those qualities; the third involved applying the prepared carbon fibre materials to the ship's cabin bulkheads and doors; and the fourth and final step involved testing the carbon fibre materials. Research results indicate that ship bulkheads constructed from carbon fibre materials exhibit a 50.16% increase in tensile strength compared to conventional ship bulkheads. Similarly, cabin doors made from carbon fibre materials demonstrate a 38.94% increase in tensile strength over traditional cabin doors. In conclusion, the use of sustainable materials in the interior decoration of ships can increase the stability, comfort and safety of ships.

Keywords: cabin interior decoration; sustainable material; carbon fibre material; tensile strength; lightweight design; environmental performance.
