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.

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?

Happy Disability Pride Month 💜

To the ways people experience the world differently.
To the strength it takes to navigate spaces that weren’t built with you in mind.
To the very human need for environments that are inclusive, calming and supportive. 🫶

We believe inclusion should be felt, not just stated. It’s about everyday spaces that offer comfort, consistency and choice. Sensory rooms play a powerful role in this, providing a space where people can recharge and regulate in ways that feel right for them, exploring the sensory features at their own pace.

We’re proud to work with inclusive, forward-thinking teams in disability care to create sensory rooms that genuinely support the people who use them.

Take a look at what we have done and can do in this space:

Interested in making your allied health clinic a supportive, holistic space for recovery? 🔁

According to the 2020-21 census, 47% of Australians live with one or more chronic health conditions. That’s a lot of people juggling medications, therapy appointments and the daily challenges their condition brings. For those who don’t face these struggles, it’s hard to fully appreciate the effort it takes to manage all of this, every single day.

While your patients might come to you for physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy or similar support, stress can be a significant barrier and helping them manage it can be just as impactful as the therapy itself.

Sensory rooms offer a calming, supportive space where patients can decompress and prepare - nurturing the physical and emotional balance needed to get the most from their sessions with you. It’s a powerful addition that can transform your clinic into a truly holistic, patient-centred space. 🤝

Create a calm haven for your students (and your teachers) while the classrooms are quiet during the July holidays. 😌

A sensory room isn’t just a quiet space - it is a place to help students reset, self-regulate and return to class feeling calmer and ready to learn. This not only reduces stress for the child or teen but also provides a supportive environment where they can build lifelong emotional skills.

This has a positive ripple effect for their peers and teachers, creating a more focused and learning environment.

With these holidays just around the corner, now is the perfect time to rethink how your school can further support students and teachers.

🏟️ In today’s venues, accessibility is becoming a core part of what it means to offer a truly inclusive experience.

Calming sensory rooms are fast becoming a must-have in stadiums, arenas and entertainment venues across Australia. No longer viewed as a luxury, they’re now recognised as essential infrastructure to support accessibility and enrich the guest experience for neurodivergent fans and families.

Forward-thinking venues are using sensory rooms to meet growing accessibility expectations, improve crowd experience and help strengthen their corporate social responsibility efforts. 🤝

At Creative Sensory Spaces, we work with venue operators to design sensory rooms that are functional, flexible and aligned with both audience needs and operational realities.

If you’re exploring how to make your venue more accessible and future-ready, we’d love to show you what’s possible.
