All of the artwork I recommend consist of design, colours, and brush techniques that are easy for the eyes to process to reduce the mental load to process them. The art should create a calm and mellow relaxation to the senses. I have started this collection with a focus on the incredible works of Henri Matisse as his biomorphic art i some of the most mentally gentle works to look at and fit into most decor schemes - neurodivergent-friendly, beautiful, and versatile 🌟
Incredibly neurodivergent-friendly artwork! The colours, style, and printing technique make these so easy to process mentally and will create fantastic pieces to display around your home.

HAUS AND HUES Matisse Poster and Abstract Art Prints
Beautifully soothing neurodivergent-friendly artwork for those with a healthy budget looking for some incredibly sensory-underloaded original artwork. If you are neurodivergent (autistic/adhd/dyslexic/dyspraxic/dyscaluclic/ocd etc.), having busy colours, patterns, plants and art in your environment could be adding to your anxiety. This piece of art is mentally soothing and the colours used are some of the easiest for our minds to process. Gorgeous piece of art, but appreciate not everyone can afford this. If you do come across an expensive piece of art on Etsy that you have fallen in love with, please do drop me a note as I can check whether it is sensory underloaded or not for you to make sure your investment is neurodivergent-friendly ❤️

Brilliant if you want to pick up a set and gift out individually.

Neurodivergent-Friendly Plants 🪴
If you have a spare shelf or floor space and are unsure whether to go for another piece of furniture or an ornament, consider first getting a plant. Plants are incredible for neurodivergent people (and everyone!). If you get the fern or palm types, these are the easiest for our minds to process and are calming to look at and as a massive bonus, they purify the air, which is fabulous, particularly for those who have heightened sensitivities to their surrounding...
This is two fantastic neurodivergent-friendly things in one! 🥳 First off, you have the glorious mirror ball planter. When the light hits this it will create the most beautiful and calming shimmer of lights across walls, ceilings and even in gardens. So many neurodivergent people I know have these are they are calming on the senses to look at when they do not have light 👏🏻bouncing off them, they are wonderfully beautiful and soothing when they gently sparkle. If you then put in a living plant (particularly a fern or palm type plant) then it will add to the soothing effects as well as help to purify the air, which is fabulous for those with heightened senses who pick up on impurities in the environment. These come in many different sizes and are easily installed and look incredibly cool too. Brilliant gift to either yourself or someone else - just fabulous

Not only do these help your plants to grow and those plants help to clean the air and reduce sensory overload, but the light will also give you a little boost of sunlight when you're need it because you need an extra boost too 🌟
