In earlier days, hospital interior used to be bare buildings with drab furniture and dull walls. But this is not the case any longer. Hospital interior today are designed today with 5-star ambiance and home-like comfort in focus. Patients who rush to a hospital are usually ill, weak, in pain, and anxious. In this condition, if the interiors of the hospital are dingy and unwelcome, their physical, mental, and emotional well-being is likely to slip down further.  A positive atmosphere is essential to augment recovery and accelerate healing. It is your duty as a hospital entrepreneur to ensure that your healthcare institute resonates with positivity and elegance so that the patient experience is optimized. Research has unraveled that nature has the power to heal. Include natural elements in your hospital’s interior design can restore balance, enhance healing rates and create an ethos of positivity and cheer.

Some natural elements that you should include in your hospital interior designing

1. Natural light

Our ancestors always knew about the healing power of sunlight…hence the emphasis on Surya namaskar and praying to the Sun God. Sunlight provides Vitamin D and is essential for elevating mood and alleviating depression. Moreover, sunlight can light up your interiors and add an aura of energy to any room. You can install a solar panel on your hospital’s roof or terrace to trap the goodness of sunshine and use this energy to power solar lamps and bulbs instead of traditional ones to cut down electricity charges.

You can harness the power of sunlight in your hospital’s interior design by including big windows, sun domes, and skylights. A bright sun-lit room looks airy and spacious and the colors of your furnishings and your décor are highlighted.

2. Water

Water is refreshing vaastu element that can energize and revive vitality. You can keep bowl with clean water and fresh floating flowers in your reception area to add this refreshing natural element to your décor. If you have a lawn, you can add a lotus pond or a water fountain. The sound of water drops and ocean waves is relaxing and is used as means of meditation. You can play these sounds in the waiting room to help your patients relax.

3. Wood

Wooden floors and ceilings add an aura of old-world warmth and cheer to your hospital’s interiors. Furniture made from wood is sturdy, sustainable, and long-lasting. Use this instead of choosing acrylic and steel furniture which looks clinical and cold. You can opt for recycled or reclaimed wood furniture.

4. Plants

If space permits, incorporate a landscaped garden in your architectural blueprint. This space can be used by the patients and family to relax and connect with nature. If there is a lacuna of space, potted plants can be the next-best way to bring nature indoors in your hospital. Plants can add a spot of color to every room. They replenish oxygen and add positive vibes. You can keep potted plants in the corners of the waiting room and the patient’s rooms. Nowadays, vertical gardens that save water and space are in vogue. Use uniquely designed planters or terraria to add a sparkle to your décor.

5. Use sustainable fabric and fiber

Materials like wood, jute, coir, bamboo, and cane are biodegradable, unlike metals, plastics, and acrylic. Use these natural substances in your hospital’s interior design. Accessorizing with jute rugs, rattan and cane lamps and organic seating is now in vogue. Use pure cotton and silk linen and curtains. Use natural stone in bathrooms to provide anti-slip flooring.   These natural raw materials are not only chic and elegant, but they are also eco-friendly too.

6. Natural deodorizers

Cleaning and disinfection are continuous processes in a hospital. The odors of chemical disinfectants may be unpleasant. Make provision for the use of reed diffusers and aroma dispensers in your décor. Mask antiseptic odor with natural room fresheners like camphor, thyme, or lemon grass. Use essential oils of vanilla or lavender to add freshness. Thus, it is fairly easy to include natural elements in your hospital’s interior design.
