Well-Designed Small Spaces Can Be Welcoming
We at Henry Schein are proud of our ability to "think outside the box."
We have had the opportunity to produce some of the most creative and
attractive dental environments in the business. We listen carefully to
your ideas, and work within your budget to create the best possible
design for your program. The result is an office that flows well and has
a look and feel that reflects your program's vision. The professionals
in our Interior Design Group can help to carry your concept through by
specifying harmonious color schemes, carpeting, wall coverings, accents,
and furnishings.
Even if your budget is very limited, we can implement many strategies to make your office a pleasant and
welcoming environment for patients and staff alike. A few ideas:
* Choose furnishings that resist wear and deterioration.
* Use a washable paint on the walls.
* Install chair rails in the waiting room. These can prevent wall damage.
* Many studies confirm that color impacts our emotions. Some colors are calming and reassuring. Choosing
relaxing and inviting colors helps patients and staff to feel better. Our design team is ready to help you
choose and coordinate palettes and materials.
* For waiting room chairs choose fabrics that resist tears, disguise stains, or can be scrubbed clean. Avoid
broadloom carpet. One stain can ruin the whole look of the waiting area. Use carpet squares that can be
moved and replaced to spread wear and hide stains.
* Consider tile with easily cleaned mats at entry doors to reduce mud and dirt transfer onto other surfaces.
However, make sure you use products that are less likely to be slippery when wet.
* Use artwork designed to relax and distract the patient not only in the waiting room but in the operatories as
well. Operatories with window views can also distract patients waiting for treatment.
* Where signage is necessary, use framed signs to greatly improve appearance. Avoid the temptation to add
signs that are pinned or taped to walls. They soon tear and dispel the charm of the investment in design you
have made.
* Floor coverings such as vinyl tile with a scattered pattern in clinical areas create eye movement that helps
distract the vision from scuffmarks on the floor.
* Dental chair upholstery fabrics in colors that disguise wear and scuff marks from shoes.
* Children's toys that are age appropriate, clean, and kept in a specific part of the reception area in
storage containers.
* Plants add color and interest. If you are afraid that children will eat them, use silk.
