For those who find certain environments difficult, it can be beneficial to have a safe and pleasant sensory space to take some time away. Luckily, portable cabins can make a perfect temporary solution, creating a safe area in a variety of locations. Read on to find some tips for creating a safe sensory space in a jackleg cabin.
Find the Right Cabin Size
To install all the features and furnishings you think may be beneficial, you will need the right amount of space. Confined spaces can often feel overwhelming too, so it’s important to make sure a person can move around in the spaces safely. Similarly, in fire emergencies, anyone inside will need a clear path to exit safely.
Source Calming Lighting
Harsh and clinical lighting can often contribute to a distressing situation, so implementing calming lighting fixtures can often be helpful for those needing some time away from an uncomfortable situation. Try colour-changing options or themed colours to create a relaxing and safe environment to enjoy. Portable cabins typically come equipped with lighting and power sockets, making it simple to alter the fittings to best suit your desired result.
Add In Sensory Zones
To prevent your new space from becoming overwhelming, it can be helpful to create areas that only engage one or two senses. From tactile zones to auditory areas, introducing dedicated spaces can be highly beneficial when creating a calming environment to enjoy. These can even be tailored to suit a specific room theme, making them aesthetically pleasing as well as pleasing to the other senses.
Choose Tactile Furnishings
For those who find certain materials challenging, it can be helpful to have an area where the furnishings feel pleasant or different. Adding tactile furnishings, such as textured rugs, water features or soft seating can make a space more pleasant and inviting, providing respite from sensory overload.
Control the Temperature
No one wants to enter a space to find the temperature unbearable. If you have a portable cabin that you’d like to make into a calming sensory space, it’s important to have a way to control the temperature with ease. Many portable jackleg cabins, thankfully, come readily equipped with convector heaters which can help to warm up the space during the colder months.
