Sensory rooms aren’t just calm spaces - they’re powerful therapeutic tools.

In paediatric therapy, especially, the environment can shape everything. Creative Sensory Spaces support occupational therapists in helping kids feel calm, regulated and ready to engage for connection, confidence and therapeutic progress - one moment at a time.

We're proud to partner with incredible clinics like Cheeky Monkeys Occupational Therapy for Children, creating spaces where therapy meets possibility.

💜 To all the OTs making a difference - thank you for the work you do!

Bright lights, noise and constant stimulation can trigger symptoms that derail an entire day. A calming sensory room offers a low-stimulation space where team members, patients or students can reset - helping prevent escalation and promoting recovery. 💜

If you manage people, patients or learning environments, integrating a sensory room design supports wellbeing and productivity.

What could that look like in your space?

Making Live Events More Inclusive at Allianz Stadium 🏟️

Attending a concert, sports match or live event should be an exciting experience for everyone - but for individuals with sensory sensitivities, these environments can quickly become overwhelming.

To create a more inclusive and welcoming space, Allianz Stadium partnered with Creative Sensory Spaces to design a purpose-built sensory retreat.

Why it matters:
😌 Supports guests with sensory sensitivities, hidden disabilities or anxiety
😌 Provides a room to reset and return to the event
😌 Ensures families don’t have to leave early due to sensory overload
😌 Event staff now have a dedicated space to assist guests in need

"The feedback from our clientele has been extremely positive… It shows our commitment to thinking beyond sport and concerts, and focusing on the needs of our community."
– Ben Raggatt, Group General Manager, Event Operations, Venues NSW

At Creative Sensory Spaces, we believe that everyone deserves access to unforgettable experiences. If you’re looking to create an inclusive environment in your stadium, public venue or event space, let’s chat!

Meet Dr Bliss Cavanagh - the visionary behind Creative Sensory Spaces. 🌌

For Dr Bliss, sensory design is both personal and professional. Living with Tourette’s syndrome, she discovered the calming impact of multisensory environments during her university years ✨ a moment that changed everything...

What began as a personal discovery became a PhD, then a purpose and now a career dedicated to creating sensory spaces that support wellbeing, accessibility and inclusion. Today, Dr Bliss is one of the world’s leading voices in multisensory design. 🧠

Pain can be invisible, but its impact is not. 💥

For people living with chronic pain, even quiet moments can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Calming sensory rooms offer a supportive environment where patients may help ease their pain through gentle sensory stimulation and mindfulness. This can be especially valuable in hospitals, rehabilitation centres and allied health settings, providing comfort when it’s needed most.

How could sensory design support the patients you care for?
