Know When to Use the Right Colors
The choosing of colors is a much more crucial element of designing a medical office than you might think! Consider the type of office you are designing for. When designing an office used primarily for patients who are children, think of more vibrant and bright colors such as yellows and oranges. This promotes a welcoming and childlike atmosphere to make children feel more comfortable.
If you’re promoting to adult patients, think of more calming tones. This will give a more comforting effect to your more mature patients. Consider add blues or greens mixed with more neutral tones for a subdued effect. As professional designers we consider color theory vital when working with our clients, in both residential and commercial projects.
Choosing the Right Fabrics
It’s no secret that your patients want to be comfortable if they end up spending a long time in a reception space. Think of comfort when choosing your furniture pieces and fabrics for durability.
Take into consideration the right materials that can be easily managed, especially in today's world that requires constant keeping up to keep germs at bay. Choose materials that can be easily cleaned, while still achieving the overall goal of a pleasing space for your patients to relax and find comfort. The most long-lasting and easy to clean fabrics are typically going to be blends and engineered combinations. Natural materials like cotton, linen, and silk may not hold up in high traffic areas like a reception space, we recommend opting for commercial high-performance blends.
