Mobilier intégré






















One thing that I have learned through my research on design for healthcare is that there are several strategies that we can do in the design of the room that can improve the patient's help and help that person recover.



For example, we can reduce the patient's stress by having a single-bed patient room, having a window that views on nature or by hiding from the patient's view unappealing elements such as trash cans, soiled linen, sharps container, etc..



Of course there are more strategies to improve the patient's health as well as his or her satisfaction such as the presence of the clock in the room or access to music (with choice and volume control).

Most of us know what to do and how to do it, but to distinguish ourselves from others and achieve more in life, it would be great to find a purpose in life that would respond to: " Why do we do, what we do?" For interior designers, while designing, we need to come up with a design that responds to "why we have come up with this design and why it is the better option?" There needs to be purpose and meaning behind the design.
