Want a fresher, brighter, happier workspace — but don’t have the budget for a big renovation?
These tips will help you beautify your medical practice and bring life and light into your lobby and clinical space. They can also create a vibrant atmosphere instead of a stagnant one. You will feel it — and so will your patients.
How To Beautify Your Medical Practice And Brighten Up Your Space
- Set up a team-powered system to have live plants or flowers in the office. Sure, it’s easy to have a florist deliver expensive arrangements every week, but if your practice’s budget doesn’t offer that luxury, our way involves the team and offers a great aesthetic. Simply ask a team member to grab some flowers during their grocery run. Our favorite places to get inexpensive, fresh flowers are Trader Joe’s or Lidl. At the end of the week, if they’re still looking fresh, a team member can take them home. Don’t want to deal with the constant acquisition of flowers? Opt for plants instead! You can purchase plants at the same stores mentioned above. They tend to last a little longer, and when they start to fade, you can have a green-fingered team member adopt and re-pot them — then buy more!
- Say goodbye to the dated artwork. Go right now and take down that old piece of art! All it takes is a trip to HomeGoods and a few $20s to buy something new and pretty to beautify your medical practice. Pick something new that feels happy and beautiful. Want to involve the team? Go online to Wayfair, narrow it down to a few choices, and let them pick! A recent team snapshot will make a welcomed edition (Shutterfly will frame and ship right to you). If the photo is not a good fit for the lobby, use it in the breakroom. It matters that the team sees themselves in the office.
- Let the natural light in. Open the blinds! Natural light gives your office a bright, welcoming feel. When the natural light isn’t possible, or bright enough, opt for a warm, golden-hued light bulb. We like GE’s Sun-Filled LED in Soft White.
- Consider some throw pillows or a few tasteful, seasonal decorations. How much happier would your team and patients be if your waiting room actually felt like a beautiful place to wait? Beautify your medical practice by keeping it simple and clean — but a few pretty choices can make the environment more warm and welcoming, and help everyone feel more comfortable.
- Use mood-boosting practice resources like the Wall of Wow and our Shine Like the Sun downloadable sign.
- Refresh with a change of scenery. Even in the most beautiful environments, a fresh air walk and talk can do wonders for helping you and your team gain a renewed perspective.
Like we’ve said before, don’t overlook the details at your medical practice – they’re huge!
