Did you know October is ADHD Awareness Month? 🤎
For me, this month is a chance to look beyond some of the common stereotypes around ADHD and talk about how differently it can affect everyday life.
ADHD isn’t just about attention or being easily distracted. It can affect organisation, routines, transitions, sleep, emotional regulation and sensory processing — and everyone’s experience is different.
And because so much of everyday life happens at home, I think our homes deserve more consideration too.
This is a big part of why I specialise in neurodivergent interior design.
I’m not interested in creating an “ADHD home” that follows a set of rules.
I’m interested in understanding the person and designing a space around how they actually live.
Sometimes that might mean better lighting.
Sometimes it’s making storage easier to use.
Sometimes it’s reducing visual clutter.
Sometimes it’s simply creating somewhere to retreat when the world feels like too much.
There isn’t one solution — because there isn’t one experience of ADHD.
That’s why I believe we should design around the individual, not the diagnosis.
And for me, this is personal. Being a mum to a child with ADHD has completely changed the way I look at interiors and what I believe a home should do.
💬 If ADHD is part of your family life, what’s one thing about your home that makes everyday life easier?
I’d love to hear from you. 👇🤎
