At Brookhouse, we understand the profound impact a well-designed sensory room can have on students with special educational needs (SEN). With over 45 years of experience, we specialise in creating sensory environments that provide calming and stimulating experiences tailored to the unique needs of each student. Our comprehensive services include consultation, design, manufacture, installation, and aftercare, ensuring each project meets the highest standards.
Our sensory rooms incorporate multi-sensory elements such as bubble tubes, fibre optics, interactive panels, and calming lighting to create engaging and therapeutic spaces. We focus on using durable materials and customisable designs to ensure longevity and adaptability. Whether you need to refurbish an existing sensory room or create a new one, Brookhouse delivers environments that support the sensory needs and developmental goals of your students.

Our sensory rooms feature a variety of interactive and calming elements, such as fibre optic curtains, tactile wall panels, vibro-acoustic seating, and projectors for immersive experiences.

Our tailored solutions cater to various sensory needs, ensuring each room is designed to promote sensory integration and emotional well-being.

A Proven Process That Gets It Right First Time
1. Discovery & Site Survey
Every project starts with a detailed discovery meeting and (where required) a 3D site scan. This enables the capture of precise measurements and existing conditions - removing guesswork and reducing future rework.
2. Design Brief Workshop
We host a collaborative workshop with your key stakeholders to capture the vision, budget, and any technical or safeguarding requirements. This ensures your goals shape every stage of the design.
3. Space Planning & 2D Layouts
Our in-house design team produces 2D plans with up to three revisions, ensuring the layout is functional and fully compliant with educational or commercial standards.
4. Mood Boards & Finishes Selection
We propose tailored finishes and materials in a dedicated mood board considering durability, hygiene, aesthetics, and future maintenance - all aligned to your brand or building identity.
5. 3D Visuals & Walkthroughs
Using Autodesk Revit and 3D modelling, we provide sketches, renders, and even virtual walkthroughs (where required) - helping you visualise the finished space and avoid late-stage surprises.
6. Furniture & Specification Schedule
You receive a full FF&E specification and product schedule covering fitted joinery, loose furniture, and specialist equipment. This is so you know exactly what you’re getting, and where.
7. Full Fit-Out & Project Delivery
Once approved, we manufacture and install everything from flooring and ceilings to plumbing, furniture and final decoration. We deliver a complete turnkey space with no need for third parties.
8. Handover & Ongoing Support
After completion, we conduct a full handover and walkthrough, with warranty support and optional aftercare packages available. Your space is ready from day one - and supported long after.
