BRT Interior Design
At the heart of BRT Interior Design is Beatrice Tokayer, a passionate interior designer with a unique mission: to create spaces that are not only beautiful and functional but also specifically designed to cater to the sensory preferences of the people who inhabit them. Whether she’s working with families to transform their homes into havens of calm and comfort, or helping business owners create sensory-friendly workplaces, Beatrice’s work is rooted in improving the well-being and overall mood of each individual. Beatrice’s approach to interior design is deeply personal. Her journey into the world of sensory-focused design began with her own family’s challenges. She knew something was off when her middle son wasn’t hitting key developmental milestones. He struggled with sleep, had bursts of energy that seemed impossible to channel, and faced difficulties socially and academically. After seeking professional guidance, her son was diagnosed with ADHD and sensory processing disorder. Like many parents, Beatrice was determined to find ways to help her child thrive. This personal experience sparked a passion in Beatrice to explore how environments impact sensory health. She soon realized that the physical spaces in which we live, work, and play can have a profound effect on how we feel, act, and function — especially for individuals with specific sensory preferences. Beatrice knew she could apply her interior design skills in a way that went beyond aesthetics and functionality to create environments that cater to unique sensory needs.
