  • Textiles: Surround yourself with soft fabrics and comfy cushions to enhance comfort.
  • Lighting: Use soft, warm lighting to create a calming atmosphere while still ensuring there's enough light to enjoy activities like puzzles and games.
  • Organization: Keep your sensory toys organized for easy access, ensuring a tidy environment that promotes relaxation.
