A Titanic-inspired bedroom designed around personal interests, movement, and comfort.

Cozy spaces for comfort and practical storage.

Before & After

A Room Designed Around My Son

I designed this bedroom for my son around his love of the Titanic and his need for movement, exploration, and comfort. A low loft creates a cozy space to decompress, while activity wall panels offer more opportunities for hands-on sensory play.

Watch the Transformation

Watch how a Titanic-inspired bedroom came together, with space to move, explore, and unwind.

Before

A large dresser occupied the space beneath the window.

After

The activity wall and indoor climbing structure make room for hands-on exploration and movement.

My Story

I’m Faith, a special education teacher, autism parent, and founder of Sensory Spicy Spaces. I bring 15+ years in education and special education and a Master’s degree in Special Education.

When I searched for sensory supports for my own child, I saw how quickly the costs could add up. That experience shaped my mission: helping others create thoughtful, personalized spaces while making their budgets go further.
