Don’t settle for a visually stunning home that exhausts your nervous system.
Create a home that actively aligns with your actual, daily lived experience.
You may already know that something about your home isn't working for you.
You love your home but still find yourself working around it: avoiding certain spaces, struggling to focus, or feeling unexpectedly depleted within them.
And in many instances, this is a home layout, style or rhythm of living within it that once suited you, but no longer reflects the life, needs or sensory range you have now.
Your home can become misaligned with the person you are now.
As your life, needs and sensory range change, the environmental cues within your home may no longer support your rhythm of life. The result is a growing dissonance between you and your home environment.
I design living spaces that puts you–your rhythm of life, and the desired outcomes you seek in your home– at the center
The aim is simple: to create a home that aligns with your desired rhythm of life: one that feels easier to live in, rest in, focus in and come back to.
A home that supports you instead of asking more from you.
My work brings together interior design, neuroscience research and environmental psychology to understand how your home affects the way you think, feel, focus, rest and move through your day.
We look at things you may have been adapting to without realising it:
Light that keeps you alert when you're trying to wind down.
Visual clutter that keeps your attention switched on.
Rooms that look beautiful but don't support what you actually do in them.
Layouts that create friction.
Materials, sounds and sensory cues that make certain spaces feel harder to inhabit.
Then we redesign for you.
You are in the right place if:
You are looking to buy, rent, renovate or build a home, and want to understand what to look for or change; and make the right decisions before lighting, layouts, materials and fittings are fixed.
Your home looks good, but it doesn't quite feel good to live in.
You've noticed changes in how sensitive you are to light, noise, clutter or visual activity.
You have a room you avoid, a space you can't settle in, or a part of your home that never quite works.
You want your home to support your focus, rest, recovery or daily rituals.
You're going through a life transition and the home that suited the old version of you no longer feels right.
You don't want another Pinterest-perfect room.
You want to understand what your environment is doing to you, then change it.
It probably isn't for you if you're simply looking for a trend-led makeover or someone to choose beautiful furniture without looking at how the space affects the way you live.
There are plenty of talented designers who do that beautifully.
My work starts somewhere else.
There are three ways we can work together
1. Sensory Intelligence Brief
For when you know something isn't working, but you don't yet know what.
The Sensory Intelligence Brief is a focused assessment of your home and the way you experience it.
We look at how your nervous system responds to your environment, where friction is showing up, and which changes are likely to make the biggest difference.
You'll receive a personalised Brief that identifies the sensory and environmental patterns at play, along with clear recommendations for what to change and where to start.
You'll finish knowing:
What's making certain spaces harder to live in.
Which environmental factors are affecting your experience of the home.
What deserves attention first.
What you can change yourself.
And whether a deeper NeuroDesign project makes sense.
Investment— €950
If you're thinking, “I'm not even sure where to start,” this is where I'd start.
If the Sensory Intelligence Brief does not change how you think about your project, we will refund it in full!
2: The NeuroDesign Blueprint™ Integration
For when you know you want to change your home and want a complete design plan and guided support to implement.
The Blueprint engagement runs for 12 weeks. Your initial design direction is established within 7–10 days of completing the Sensory Intelligence Brief, followed by guided development and implementation across the remainder of the programme.
You will leave with a complete design direction for two priority spaces, including the design decisions, drawings and visual guidance needed to implement the work with confidence.
We begin with understanding you and your environment, then translate what we find into a practical design strategies and execution plan for the spaces that matter most.
The work follows four connected areas:
Assess
We figure out why the room that should work isn't working by looking at how your home is affecting the way you think, feel, focus, rest and move through it.
Design
We turn those discoveries into design decisions about the spaces you actually use. You can finally see what the space could become before you start spending money.
Create
You receive the detailed design direction needed to bring the spaces together, including visualisations and the information required for implementation.
Integrate
We make sure the finished space supports the life you want to live in it, because a beautiful room that only works when you're having a perfect day isn't a very useful room.
You can work with me remotely or in person, depending on what you need and where you're based.
A fully guided 12-week engagement delivered remotely, giving you the same NeuroDesign thinking, assessment, strategy and design direction from wherever you are.
For clients who want me physically in the space, observing the environment firsthand and working with you in person throughout the engagement.
This gives me the opportunity to experience the home with you — its light, acoustics, movement, spatial relationships and sensory conditions — rather than relying entirely on what can be captured remotely.
Want to meet before committing?
Start with a one-hour in-person consultation for €90. If you decide to proceed with the In-Person Blueprint, that €90 is refunded against your Blueprint investment.
This gives us the chance to meet, understand what you're experiencing in your home and establish whether the in-person Blueprint is the right next step.
What is a priority space?
A priority space is a single room whose role matters in your daily life. It may be your bedroom, kitchen, living space, home office or a shared family area.
Where a room supports more than one function—for example, a bedroom with a reading area or a living room that is also your primary recovery space—those uses are considered together within that room.
Additional priority spaces are priced from €1,950 remote or €2,500 on site, according to complexity and required scope.
Optional: Studio-managed implementation
If you would like the studio to manage the implementation of your two priority spaces, we can oversee sourcing, procurement, delivery, installation and agreed trade coordination on your behalf.
Your investment for this stage is your Blueprint engagement fee, plus 15% of the managed project cost.
The managed project cost covers the elements we actively coordinate for you. The scope is confirmed in writing before sourcing begins and distinguishes studio fees, project costs, travel, taxes and any third-party professional services.
You may choose studio-managed implementation at the start of your engagement or any time before sourcing begins. Your Implementation Blueprint remains yours in full, whether you implement independently or with the studio.
Technical scope clarity
The NeuroDesign Blueprint™ is an interior design engagement. The studio develops the agreed interior design, including plans, sections and technical drawing information appropriate to the two priority spaces and the confirmed scope of work.
Some projects require a further level of technical development—for example built-ins, staircases, complex joinery, detailed construction interfaces or other specialist drawing packages. Where this is required, the additional drawing, coordination and specialist input are identified and quoted separately before that work begins.
Where a project requires structural, building-services or specialist engineering design, statutory approvals, permits or specialist certification, we coordinate with the appropriate appointed professionals and integrate their input into the interior-design process.
Blueprint engagements may be spread across three instalments. You may choose this option at checkout.
The blueprint document will be delivered within 7–10 days of completing the brief. This is then followed by the guided implementation.
Because I stay closely involved from the initial assessment through sourcing, contractors and installation, I take on only a limited number of Blueprint integration projects at a time.
3: Full-Service NeuroDesign — Project Based Pricing
For when you want me to take the thinking and the doing off your plate. You don't have to become the project manager of your own home.
We begin with the Sensory Intelligence Brief and a comprehensive survey of your home, then move into the practical work of bringing the design to life.
This includes:
Spatial design and detailed planning.
2D and 3D visualisations.
Custom millwork drawings.
Furniture, lighting, materials and finish selection.
Sourcing and procurement.
Contractor coordination.
Styling and installation.
Ongoing sensory integration support.
You don't have to spend your evenings chasing deliveries, comparing finishes or trying to work out whether the contractor actually understood the design.
I stay involved through the implementation so the finished home reflects the person it was designed for.
Full-service projects are priced according to the scope of the work.
Because I stay closely involved from the initial assessment through sourcing, contractors and installation, I take on only a limited number of full-service residential projects at a time.
In a nutshell...
The Brief tells you what's happening.
The Blueprint tells you what to do about it along with guided execution.
Full-Service means I take care of bringing it to life.
Working with an architect, developer, or design team?
Add the human layer without replacing the team already in place.
The Sentient Home works alongside architects, interior designers and developers when a project requires a more precise understanding of the people who will live in it.
We provide the sensory intelligence layer: translating the primary occupant’s or household’s lived needs into clear design considerations for light, sound, materiality, spatial flow and everyday use.
This is not a replacement for architectural, interior-design, engineering or contractor expertise. It is a specialist contribution that allows those disciplines to work from a more human-centred brief.
Here's what people are saying
What makes this different
Hi. My name is Lolade.
Interior Designer. Neuroscience Researcher. Creator of The NeuroDesign Blueprint™.
I created this service because I kept seeing the same thing: beautiful spaces that weren't necessarily supportive spaces.
And I have experienced that disconnect myself.
Midlife changed the way I experienced my own home. Things that once felt fine could suddenly feel too bright, too noisy, too cluttered or simply too much. That made me look at interior design differently.
What if we stopped asking only, “Does this look good?”
And started asking:
How does this feel to live in?
What is this room asking of you?
Where does your attention go?
Where does your body settle?
What happens when you're tired, overstimulated or under pressure?
Those questions change the design.
What this can look like in real life
You stop leaving the house every time you need to think clearly.
Your bedroom actually feels like somewhere to wind down.
The room you've been avoiding becomes somewhere you naturally want to spend time.
Your workspace supports focus instead of becoming another place where you get distracted.
Your home feels calmer at the end of a long day.
You stop constantly adapting yourself to the space.
The space starts adapting to you.
You arrive home after a demanding day and within the hour your body has begun to recover without effort.
The lighting has shifted. The acoustic environment has settled. Nothing is demanding your attention.
That is the difference between a home that has been styled and a home that has been designed with you at the center.
Your home is your largest capital investment.
It should be designed for the human who lives in it.
Where to start
If you're not sure which service is right for you, don't overthink it. Start with the Sensory Intelligence Brief.
You'll get a clearer picture of what's happening in your home and what deserves your attention first. From there, you can decide whether you want to make the changes yourself, work with me through the NeuroDesign Blueprint™, or have me take care of the full implementation.
If you already know you want full-service design, you can enquire directly.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. At what stage of a renovation or build should I engage you?
As early as possible; ideally before architectural drawings are finalised.
The Sensory Intelligence Brief can be completed in a matter of days and produces a design brief your team can work from from the outset.
Engaging early eliminates the need to correct neurological friction retrospectively, which is considerably more expensive than building it correctly in the first place.
2. Can you collaborate with my existing architect or design team?
Yes, and this is one of the most common ways we work.
We integrate directly alongside existing teams as the Sensory Intelligence Specialist — providing the neurological layer that translates your occupant’s sensory profile into specifications your architect or contractor can implement.
Many design teams specifically engage us to add this dimension to projects where the structural and aesthetic brief is already in place.
3. What does the Sensory Brief add to an existing design brief?
An existing design brief tells your team what the space should look like.
The Sensory Brief tells them what the space needs to do for the person living in it at a physiological level — specifying lighting by Kelvin and Lux rather than fixture preference, acoustic management by frequency rather than material feel, and materiality by sensory threshold rather than visual style.
It converts subjective preferences into measurable specifications.
4. How is this different from standard interior design?
Standard design starts with how a space looks. The NeuroDesign Blueprint™ starts with how the person living in it processes their environment neurologically, then designs for both.
The result is a space that is exceptional to look at and genuinely restorative to live in.
5. What if the renovation has already started?
The Sensory Intelligence Brief can be completed at any stage of a project.
If decisions have already been made, the report identifies which specifications are still open for optimisation and which remaining design elements have the highest neurological impact.
Introducing sensory intelligence mid-project consistently produces better outcomes than not introducing it at all.
6. Do you work internationally?
Yes. The Sensory Intelligence Brief and the NeuroDesign Blueprint™ Integration are both fully available remotely, across Europe and internationally.
Full-service design is available for select projects. Contact us to discuss scope and location.
7. What if I am renting or cannot make structural changes?
The Blueprint can be adapted to non-structural interventions: lighting adjustments, furniture placement, material introductions, and sensory layering.
Many of the highest-impact specifications in the Blueprint require no structural work.
Contact us to discuss what is achievable within your constraints.
8. What happens if the engagement is not the right fit for my project?
The Sensory Intelligence Brief carries a full refund guarantee: if it does not change how you think about your project, we refund it in full.
For the Blueprint Integration, a structured stage-based refund policy applies at every point before the Implementation Blueprint is delivered.
The terms are confirmed in your letter of engagement before any work begins, so there are no surprises at any stage of the process.
