A medical office, in general, brings out different emotions and sensations to the patients who visit them, therefore, it is of vital importance that the environment they perceive upon arrival, and during their visit, is of trust and tranquillity. Here are some simple tips to keep in mind for your decoration if you are about to open or remodel your medical office.
The Colour
The colour of the walls is essential to transmit a warm and relaxing atmosphere, so it is recommended that neutral and soft colours are always used for medical offices; On the other hand, for the furniture theme, dark colours are recommended, which will help create a contrast that is friendly to the eye and will give personality to your workspace.
The Lines
The lines constitute the transcendental element for the definition of the spaces. In this sense, how you place the objects determines the route that you and those who have access to the decorated space take with their eyes on those objects. Therefore, the lines are, in short, a versatile element and convey a series of sensations such as:
Order, elegance, movement, security, tranquillity, agitation, sobriety among other sensations that can mobilize, paralyze, impress, connect and more. Lines can be found on walls, arches, columns, doors, fabrics, windows.
The Forms
The forms are, without a doubt, a very useful element when decorating, good handling of the forms will help you change the appearance of the spaces in very creative ways. This element is marked by the silhouette of the objects, and also by the architecture of the space to be decorated. Like lines and colour, shapes influence perception. The triangle, square and circle become the most basic forms of interior decoration and design because they have a structural capacity of enormous potential, allowing to carry out overlays, partitions, combinations and displacements.
The Texture
Your furniture must offer convenience and comfort. Avoid scratchy or rough textures on your couches, chairs, bathrooms, etc. This is one of the elements that invite interaction, as it is perceived by touch. Using different types of texture results in a more interesting design, which means that you can choose different textures for a piece.
Space
This element can be defined as the distance between one object and another within the same decoration. Space is the most ideal element to generate balance in the decoration. For example, if you have an object with a lot of volume in the room, such as a large painting, it is best to leave free space around it.
Illumination
Take care of the lighting. Good lighting should be an inalienable and urgent topic in the office. The doctor and/or specialist must observe a good entrance of light that makes it look impeccable. These tips should also be put into considerations to save space.
Use Sliding Doors
One option that you can use is to change the traditional doors for the sliding or folding ones, which will help you save space that you can use in other things and also give your office a futuristic feeling of open space.
Vertical Furniture
A great way to save space is to arrange furniture vertically. In this sense, at present, numerous companies are dedicated to manufacturing this type of furniture especially for medical offices, which will help you save space and will also make you look like a doctor concerned about new trends.
Use White Lights
Colours are very important to a doctor’s office and in this case, white will not only give your space a feeling of cleanliness and clarity but will also provide an expansive look and visually simulate a larger office.
Use mirrors
Similarly, remember to use mirrors as part of the decoration of your medical office because they will give the illusion of increasing the total space of your medical office, making it look larger.
