• Women in business breakfast with Taylor Howes x Dr. Sabine Donnai

Taylor Howes recently hosted an inspiring Women in Business Breakfast, featuring Dr. Sabine Donnai on health and longevity. Dr. Sabine highlighted how our environment impacts mental and physical health, reinforcing the connection between interior design and well-being. Thoughtfully designed spaces reduce stress, improve sleep, and enhance overall quality of life. How interiors shape well-being Neuroaesthetics, the study of how design affects the brain shows that elements like natural light, open spaces, and soft textures improve mood, reduce stress, and support better sleep. Thoughtful layouts, organic materials, and biophilic design foster tranquillity and balance. Three simple ways to enhance your space:

– Natural light & greenery boosts mood, focus, and relaxation

– Natural materials enhances comfort and warmth

– Create a restful bedroom, keep it tech-free with soft lighting and calming colours

A wellness favourite Dr. Sabine recommends mindful nature walks, proven to restore focus and reduce stress.

Carefully curated lighting enhances sleep cycles, while organic materials bring warmth and comfort.
