The Light & Muse® Companion to Children’s Spaces : A Guide to Designing Environments of Belonging, Regulation & Wonder
$20.00Children deserve more than beautiful rooms. They deserve spaces that speak to their spirit, support their sensory needs, and celebrate who they are. This reflective, prompt-rich guide helps you design with intention- where every corner becomes an invitation to feel safe, curious, and creatively free.
Importantly, this guide centers the child not just as the subject of the space but as an active participant in shaping it. Through thoughtfully crafted prompts and interactive exercises, children are invited to co-design their environment in ways that build confidence, autonomy, and self-awareness. The process becomes collaborative; an exploration of how space and self grow together.
Created for caregivers, educators, designers, and therapists, this inclusive-to-all-needs design companion blends creative wellness with practical styling, childhood psychology, and sensory support. It’s made to be flipped through, interacted with, and loved over time, whether you’re styling a single nook or reimagining an entire room.
