Neuroinclusive design focuses on creating spaces that are not only functional but also supportive of the diverse needs of all individuals.
At Mount Picture Framers, we are here to support interior designers, healthcare managers and homeowners to create spaces that are not only visually stunning but also truly inclusive, especially for those who need a neurodiverse-friendly environment.
Designing spaces for neurodiverse individuals—whether in healthcare, schools or workplaces—requires thoughtful attention to detail, and we are here to guide you every step of the way.
We believe that every element, from the images you choose to how they are framed, plays a vital role in shaping a welcoming, calming and engaging atmosphere.
When it comes to selecting images, we understand that it’s not just about decoration; it’s about creating a meaningful experience. Photographs of familiar, real-world subjects like animals, nature or people help bring a sense of comfort and connection.
These types of images are powerful tools in neuroinclusive spaces—they evoke positive emotions, foster empathy, and provide a sense of familiarity in environments that might otherwise feel overwhelming.
We recommend choosing imagery that not only fits the aesthetic of the space but also supports the emotional needs of those who will be spending time there. Whether it’s a calming landscape or an inspiring portrait, the right image can bring a sense of peace and reassurance.
Framing can be just as important as the image itself, and we’re here to help you make the perfect choice. The right frame should enhance, not overpower, the artwork and should be chosen with both the image and the environment in mind.
We suggest opting for frames with softer, neutral colours like white, grey, or natural wood tones that allow the image to shine. When selecting the shape of the frame, think about how it will interact with the space—it could be soft and rounded to create a welcoming, approachable feel or more structured for a sense of calm stability. We’ll work with you to find the perfect combination that enhances the overall look and feel of the space.
We also know that the type of glass is crucial in creating a space that works for everyone. Non-reflective glass is a game-changer in neuroinclusive spaces. It reduces glare and reflections, which can be distracting or overwhelming for some individuals, allowing them to focus more on the image itself.
This simple but important detail helps ensure that the artwork can be enjoyed without any visual distractions, making the space feel more relaxed and comfortable.
At Mount Picture Framers, we are here to support you in making thoughtful, informed choices that create an environment where neurodiverse individuals can thrive. Whether you’re designing for a care home, a classroom, a workplace or your home, we’re by your side every step of the way.
