“Charly has a great eye for colour and textures, offering small suggestions and changes that can make a big impact”
“Working with Charly was an absolute pleasure. I needed help to make our living room a place where a family member with sensory processing difficulty could relax. It was so nice to have someone who understood and had the knowledge and ability to make our home a happy place for everyone.”
“An understanding of how to put spaces to their best immediate use, but she is also able to look to the future and make suggestions that are flexible”
Behind Wax & Wane Interiors
About
I am a Wiltshire based interior consultant whose emphasis is on creating interiors that marry sustainability with your sensory health.
My goal is to create homes that are sensory affirming and uniquely yours.
Homes that meet the sensory needs of those who dwell within, in order to improve your mental wellbeing by feeling grounded, regulated and restored by your home.
What is sensory interior design?
Sensory interior design is subtly different to traditional interior design as it places your own individual sensory processing needs as the prime importance and starting point.
The goal is to restore your sensory equilibrium by simply being in it.
The state of our sensory health impacts our mental wellbeing. Our homes can be either sensory havens that recharge and relax us or sensory disasters that create emotional stress and strain from the noise, wrong colour choices, visual clutter, wrong smells and poor furniture layouts.
Whilst we are all have unique sensory processing abilities, there are many who have sensory processing difficulties as a wider part of a neurodiversity such as ADHD, autism and dyspraxia, or have developed sensory processing differences as a result of trauma, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), life changing physical injuries, or Brain Injury (TBI/ABI).
I believe our sensory health is paramount to our mental wellbeing. So whether you have additional sensory needs or simply mindful of the need to invest in your sensory health as part of improving your mental wellbeing, I’m here to help.
How it works…
Together we will work out your sensory preferences through a detailed discussion of how you process sensory information and discover how these can be met within your own home through soft furnishings, colour, placement of furniture, and any existing OT equipment.
We’ll start with any known sensory difficulties (seeking or avoiding behaviours) to work out what you need in your home to relax, and then work from there to the bigger picture. Wax & Wane Interiors takes a holistic approach. Your entire household’s sensory needs will also be factored in. Because when you live with sensory processing difficulties, there are wider emotional impacts.
I believe that sensory interior design is for everyone and can enrich the life of us all, but it is an imperative for those who have sensory differences in order to help create a home that relaxes, rejuvenates and upholds mental wellbeing.
Are you ready to make your home work for you and your family?

“That house was a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all. Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness”
