Hi, I’m Mary-Anne Tobin, the visionary behind Wardrobes + Walls, where I specialize in neurodiverse interior design. I reimagine living spaces—from wall colors to personal style—using color psychology and intentional design to create neurodiverse-friendly homes. Whether it’s curating your wardrobe of colors or shaping uplifting interiors, I empower you to thrive through environments that support your mental well-being. There is no other theory and system which incorporates colour psychology, interior design, personal styling and mental health prevention in a single actionable system.
Meet the Tobin Trio System
Created by me, Mary-Anne Tobin, the Tobin Trio System is a modern color theory that connects your Mind, Body, and Soul through tone. It’s more than just aesthetics—it’s a tool to discover the hues that reflect your true self, manage mental health challenges like depression, and promote wellness by aligning your style and surroundings with what uplifts you.
Mind
Discover your personality tone, and discover a palette that calm your mind or boost your mood.
Body
Tied to your skin undertone—warm, cool, or neutral—this guides the wardrobe of colours you wear to express yourself with confidence and surround yourself in your home.
Soul
Your energy tone shapes your interior design style—calm, balanced, or vibrant spaces that nurture your spirit and ease stress.
Together, these create your Tobin Tone—a unique archetype designed just for you. By aligning with the right tones, you’re not only personalizing your wardrobe and décor but also taking action against mental health struggles. Imagine reducing anxiety with soothing hues or lifting depression with energizing shades—your Tobin Tone delivers tailored colour
strategies to support your journey to wellness.

2025 Trends are Making Me #Blush This #Season
2025 Trends. The year of individualism, where it is not about trends unless of course you enjoy setting the trends. I have a feeling there will be a split divide this year, some will have an urgency to bring about fashion and make statements where as others will wish for a relaxed nature and want to bring this into their homes and wardrobe. So which will you be? Download the free 2025 Summer I Autumn LookBook.

The Tobin Studio: Pairing natural materials with a dash of wit.
The Tobin Residence is having a makeover, with a new studio coming along in 2025. It will be an intimate space with a selection of beautiful products for the neurodiverse, various textures and softness, with a more organic feel. What else will be there, well who would know, maybe I guess someone with tanned legs, a British humour and dry Irish wit.
