HOW IT WORKS

Creating a sensory-aware and functional space should feel exciting and supported — not overwhelming. Our process is designed to help families, schools, and educational spaces move through each stage with clarity, collaboration, and care.

STEP 1 — CONSULTATION & DISCOVERY

We begin by getting to know your child, space, routines, sensory needs, and everyday challenges. Through consultations, questionnaires, photos, and measurements, we gather a clear understanding of how the space needs to function for your family or environment.

STEP 2 — CONCEPT & SPACE PLANNING

Using the information gathered, we begin developing the design direction for the space. This may include zoning ideas, layout planning, colour palettes, moodboards, storage solutions, sensory-aware recommendations, and visual concepts tailored to the needs of the child using the environment.

STEP 3 — DESIGN DEVELOPMENT

Once the concept direction is approved, the design is refined into a more detailed and functional plan. Depending on the project, this may include sourcing guidance, furniture selections, styling recommendations, 3D visualisations, and implementation planning.

STEP 4 — IMPLEMENTATION & STYLING

Families and schools can choose to implement the design independently or with support from Little Functional Spaces. We are able to assist with styling, setup, spatial organisation, sensory-aware zoning, and bringing the final vision together in a calm and manageable way.

Every project is approached with flexibility, collaboration, and an understanding that every child experiences spaces differently.
