Explore our approachInclusive design that starts with you
Every home is different. Every person is different. That is why we do not use a checklist approach. We listen to you, understand your needs and design solutions that fit your life. Our team combines interior design expertise with lived experience of disability and neurodivergence, so we understand what works.
We are evidence based, trauma informed and person centred. We use research, building regulations and accessibility standards to create spaces that are not just accessible, but beautiful and healing. And because we are a social enterprise, we use a pay it forward model so we can help people on lower incomes access NeuroInclusive Interior Design too.
NeuroInclusive Interior Design
Sensory spaces that calm the mind and support independence
Designed for autistic people and anyone who experiences sensory overload, this room shows how mood lighting, calm storage and tactile details create a place where you can settle, focus on what matters and recharge.
Soft and adjustable light
Dimmable lamps and layered LED glow reduce overstimulation so your body can settle.
Calming colour palette
Deep teal and sage tones create a restful visual field that is easy on tired eyes.
Clear wayfinding
Colour contrast between walls, floors and doorways helps you find your way with less effort.
Calm closed storage
Recessed shelving keeps surfaces clear and makes the next step obvious.
Tactile comfort
Soft fabrics, knitted throws and fidget objects invite grounding whenever you need it.
Personal choice and control
Lighting you can adjust yourself supports independence and self regulation.
“The right light can quiet the noise and make space for what matters.”

Where would you like to start?
Every journey with Hackit Design begins somewhere different. Residential customers can start an assessment. Commercial clients can book a consultation. Community groups can talk to us about co-design. Organisations can partner with us, and you can build your career with our trainee and volunteer programmes. You can do as much or as little as you like.
Why this matters
Your home should support your health, not work against it
For many disabled, neurodivergent and chronically ill people, home is where the biggest barriers exist. Poor lighting increases falls. Noise disrupts sleep and concentration. Cluttered, poorly planned layouts reduce independence and increase anxiety.
Adapting your home is not a luxury. It is a practical step that protects your health, supports your independence and improves your quality of life.

The return on investment in NeuroInclusive Interior Design
Buildings that do not work for the people who use them cost organisations money. Complaints, void periods, staff absence, accidents, tenant turnover and failure to meet statutory duties all carry financial and reputational risk.
Investing in NeuroInclusive Interior Design is not just the right thing to do. It delivers measurable returns through reduced complaints, lower maintenance costs, improved tenant satisfaction, fewer accidents and compliance with the Equality Act 2010 and Decent Homes Standard.

Trust and safety
Your space, your pace, your people
Emotionally safe and inclusive
We listen first. Clear plans and one point of contact, because having people in your home is a big deal.
Vetted and safeguarded
Every provider passes our vetting process: insurance checks, credentials review and safeguarding commitments before they appear on the hub.
Evidence-based
Our guidance draws on occupational therapy, sensory design research and lived experience, not guesswork.
