Our Philosophy

Why 4 Pillars of The NeuroDesign Blueprint™?

Your environment shapes your brain. The way your home is designed directly influences your mood, cognitive function, and overall well-being. Our approach combines:

Neuroscience— Understanding how spaces impact stress, memory, and emotional regulation.

Environmental Psychology — Designing for behavioural shifts, mental clarity, and relaxation.

Interior Design— Crafting intentional spaces that promote healing, focus, and joy.

With a deep understanding of cognitive health, hormonal shifts, and environmental psychology, we create interiors that don’t just look beautiful—they actively support your mental and emotional wellness.

About Me

Hello, I’m Lolade Ajai, founder and principal designer at Lolade Ajai Interior Design & The Sentient Home.

I use my proprietary NeuroDesign Blueprint™ to create supportive, high-performance, and well-being-focused living environments for residential clients, as well as consultancy and collaborative services for building developers and architectural firms.

Since 2019, I have been researching how interior environments influence cognitive function, emotional health, and behavioural patterns.

My early research focused on designing inclusive spaces for people with ADHD and other neurodivergent presentations, which taught me the power of the environment to regulate the nervous system.

This mission profoundly deepened as I navigated my own and my clients' experiences with significant personal and relational shifts.

My Mission:

Transforming Homes to Support Cognitive & Emotional Well-Being

A Science-Based Approach to Interior Wellness & Midlife Empowerment

I believe that a home should do more than look aesthetically pleasing—it should be a functional, healing space that actively supports autonomic balance, energy levels, and personal transformation—powered by The NeuroDesign Blueprint™.

My design philosophy integrates:

Neuroscience & Environmental Psychology – Understanding how lighting, colour, and spatial arrangement affect mood and cognition.

Biophilic & Sensory Design – Bringing natural elements into the home to reduce stress and enhance focus.

Personalised Coaching & Interior Alignment – Guiding you through redesign to align your spaces with your evolving identity and goals, at any life stage, using the principles of The NeuroDesign Blueprint™.

The Sentient Home is dedicated to creating high-performance environments that support every resident through their unique life axis.

We specialise in designing and aligning spaces to manage the cognitive and relational complexities inherent in shared spaces, single-person homes, family dwellings, empty nesting, and midlife changes.

Through The Sentient Home's methods and The NeuroDesign Blueprint™, I guide individuals and couples through holistic residential alignment by helping them:
