There’s a definite ‘wow’ factor to the sensory rooms we design – giving you the point of difference you’ve been looking for along with an amazing sensory experience.
I found that when I left here I had clarity. Clarity in terms of a lot of things that I was thinking about and I was able to go back to work and think clearly.
I’m over the moon with it. It’s been a great investment. The proof is there. Every week I get new people calling up saying I’ve heard about the sensory room…
An artist and an academic, Dr Bliss Cavanagh is one of the world’s leading experts in the design and benefits of sensory rooms.
Her PhD research investigated the health and wellbeing benefits of her innovative multisensory environments. Published internationally, it proved the benefits of sensory spaces in the general population.
Bliss was awarded the Specialised Small Business at the Australian Small Business Champion Awards 2024.
Our entire experience of life is constructed through our complex sensory system. The senses play a fundamental role in our ability to regulate emotions, mood and behaviour.
Sensory rooms are purposefully designed spaces that stimulate and engage the senses to elicit therapeutic outcomes. First designed in the 1970s, sensory rooms are now used in a wide range of health and social settings from interactive / playbased rooms to assist with developmental skills to dedicated calming rooms to provide emotion regulatory benefits.
At Creative Sensory Spaces, we specialise in calming sensory rooms.

In a Creative Sensory Spaces sensory room, you’ll find a bold yet harmonious, nature-inspired space that uses light, sound and touch to promote mental and emotional refreshment.
Originally conceived as a therapy for people with intellectual disability, we now know that sensory rooms deliver numerous benefits for the general population, as well as people with a number of diagnosed conditions.
How do we know this? Thanks to our founder’s PhD research on the topic and our clients’ experiences with the rooms we create.
They’re calmer, they’re more engaged… we haven’t had any meltdowns. Thank you to Creative Sensory Spaces for bringing so many smiles and so much wonder into every single day!
