Home Design and Autism

Written by interior designer Jaqueline Famiglietti, Home, Design, and Autism blends professional interior design expertise with personal experience to offer a practical and compassionate guide for families and professionals.

This book explores how interior design for autism can transform the home into a supportive environment that promotes emotional regulation, sensory balance, and overall well-being for individuals on the autism spectrum and their families. Rather than focusing solely on aesthetics, it emphasizes functional, predictable, and sensory-friendly home design.

Through clear and applicable principles, this guide provides autism-friendly design strategies for key spaces in the home, including bedrooms, family areas, study spaces, and calming zones. The book includes reference images, estimated budgets, and practical examples to help readers plan realistic, achievable changes.

Designed for families, caregivers, interior designers, educators, and therapists, this book is an essential resource for anyone interested in sensory-friendly homes, autism interior design, inclusive home design, and environments that support independence and calm.

A thoughtful guide to creating homes that are conscious, human, balanced, and supportive of growth—where the environment truly becomes an ally.
