Sensory comfort refers to the state of physical and emotional ease achieved through a pleasing and harmonious sensory environment.

Here are some strategies to consider:

  1. Visual Comfort: Use natural lighting where possible and supplement with soft, layered lighting to reduce eye strain.

  2. Acoustic Comfort: Consider providing noise-cancelling headphones or creating a quiet space for focused work.

  3. Ergonomic Comfort: Adjustable chairs and desks allow for a personalized setup to accommodate individual working styles.

  4. Thermal Comfort: Maintain a comfortable temperature with adequate heating, cooling, and ventilation systems (e.g., use a fan or heater) to help improve comfort levels.

  5. Olfactory Comfort: Consider the use of subtle, natural scents through plants or essential oil diffusers.

  6. Tactile Comfort: Ensure that keyboards, mice, and other frequently used tools are comfortable to use.
