Sensory Booths & Sensory Wellbeing Kit
Calm, low-stimulus spaces that support wellbeing and belonging
Sensory Booths for Calm, Focus, and Inclusion
In busy workplaces, schools, libraries, and public spaces, constant noise, movement, and visual stimulation can make it difficult for people to focus, self-regulate, or feel comfortable.
Bureau’s sensory booths provide a quiet, low-stimulus retreat — creating inclusive spaces that support wellbeing, neurodiversity, and focus without permanent construction or complex approvals.
For organisations looking to go further, the Sensory Wellbeing Kit offers a furniture-first way to transform a booth into a calming, sensory-friendly environment.
Why Create a Sensory Space?
Modern environments are not designed for everyone. Bright lighting, background noise, and constant activity can overwhelm many people — including neurodiverse individuals, students, employees managing stress, and members of the public seeking a moment of calm.
Traditional sensory rooms help, but they are often:
-
Expensive to build
-
Fixed in place
-
Restricted to specialist settings
-
Difficult to adapt over time
A sensory booth offers a more flexible solution:
-
No building works or permanent fit-out
-
Furniture-grade, demountable design
-
Adaptable to different users and needs
-
Suitable for workplaces, education, and public spaces

FAQs
What is a sensory booth used for?
Sensory booths provide a calm, low-stimulus space where people can step away from busy environments to focus, reset, or self-regulate. They are commonly used in workplaces, schools, libraries, and community spaces to support wellbeing, inclusion, and comfort for a wide range of users.
Who are sensory booths designed for?
Sensory booths are designed for anyone who benefits from reduced noise and visual stimulation. This includes neurodiverse individuals, employees managing stress, students needing quiet regulation, and members of the public seeking a moment of calm. They are not limited to people with diagnosed sensory needs.
What is the Sensory Wellbeing Kit?
The Sensory Wellbeing Kit is an optional, furniture-first setup that transforms a booth into a sensory-friendly environment. It includes supportive seating, dimmable lighting, optional curtains, and calming finishes, creating a flexible foundation that can be personalised to suit different users and settings.
Do sensory booths require construction or building approvals?
No. Sensory booths and the Sensory Wellbeing Kit remain furniture-grade and demountable. They do not require permanent construction or specialist fit-outs. Final compliance approvals are always confirmed by the client’s project certifier.
How is this different from a traditional sensory room?
Traditional sensory rooms are often fixed, expensive to build, and limited to specialist settings. Sensory booths offer a flexible alternative that can be installed quickly, relocated if needed, and adapted over time without permanent building works.
Can the sensory setup be customised?
Yes. Lighting levels, seating layouts, curtain options, and finishes can be selected as part of the kit. Organisations can also add their own approved sensory tools, such as tactile items or visual timers, in line with internal policies and supervision guidelines.
Are sensory booths safe for schools and public spaces?
Yes. Materials are selected with durability, safety, and compliance in mind, including FR-rated textiles and low-VOC finishes. All electrical components supplied by Bureau are within booth certification. Client-sourced items should follow site-specific safety policies.
How do sensory booths support accessibility?
Optional accessibility features include high-contrast pulls and decals, tactile signage, supportive seating heights, and clear entry zones. The design balances privacy with ease of access and supervision, making it suitable for a wide range of users.
How are sensory booths cleaned and maintained?
Surfaces are wipeable, seating covers are washable, and curtains include textile care guidance. An operations and maintenance quick card is provided to support day-to-day use in shared environments.
Which booth models are suitable for the Sensory Wellbeing Kit?
The Sensory Wellbeing Kit is best suited to Quad, Quad+, and Team booths, which offer the internal space and airflow required for sensory setups. Not all booth models are compatible.
Can sensory booths be moved or relocated?
Yes. Sensory booths are modular and demountable, allowing them to be relocated or reconfigured as needs change. This makes them a future-proof option for evolving environments.
Are sensory booths only for people with diagnosed sensory needs?
No. Sensory booths support general wellbeing and comfort for everyone. They are designed to reduce overstimulation and improve focus for a broad range of users, not just those with formal diagnoses.
