Project Playroom: Décor for Children on the Autism Spectrum

You must wonder by now what are the elements one must choose to make a child’s playroom

a space where they want to spend a major amount of their time. Here’s a list of products to

look at when you consider remodeling next!

1. SOUND BLOCKING CURTAINS:

Sound Blocking Curtains are an effective and inexpensive way to reduce noise in your child’s

playroom. Although it's not completely possible to drown out all sounds, it considerably

reduces the impact on children sensitive to noise.

2. UPHOLSTER BEDFRAME:

Installing a makeshift bed in the playroom is good for some downtime and recharging. Beds

with an upholstered frame are effective in preventing injuries and bumps caused due to sharp

edges. These can be a useful investment and preexisting furniture can be customized too.

3. OPEN STORAGE CUPBOARDS

Open storage units are a great option when it comes to a child’s playroom. Due to the object

permanence factor, also known as “out of sight, out of mind”, children might forget that they

have their beloved stim toy right in front of them. These cupboards are safe since they have

no doors, thus no risk of sharp edges or sudden opening doors.

4. WEIGHTED BLANKETS

Weighted blankets help reduce stress and promote a calm and peaceful sleep. Blankets give

gentle pressure, similar to a hug. It helps ease symptoms of anxiety and insomnia.

5. SOFT-CLOSE HINGES

Best for noise sensitive children. It stops doors from creaking and shutting loudly so that it

does not trigger anxiety. These hinges are hydraulic based, which close doors silently.
