The psychological power of design and how space affects mood

The psychological power of design and how space affects mood Have you ever walked into a space and immediately felt a “vibe?” Human beings naturally adapt psychologically to their environment based on the way their environment looks, smells, sounds, and feels. If the environment creates positive feelings and sensations, visitors are likely to feel pleasant feelings and associate the space with positivity in the future. If the environment creates negative feelings and sensations, it will likely elicit negative feelings and discomfort—even if a visitor can’t identify exactly what one thing (or few things) made them uncomfortable. Design has a powerful effect on human psychology, particularly in spaces where humans interact with their environment. It’s a specific sort of limited experience to drive past a beautifully designed structure, business entrance, or front yard.

A patient’s take on the importance of dental office design

A patient’s take on the importance of dental office design “I don’t think dentists realize how important their office decor, the atmosphere, and their brand is to helping draw in new patients like me, otherwise they’d all change!” Yes, I was afraid of going to the dentist I am a 35 year-old woman, highly educated, with a great career in International finance. Despite my accomplishments and education, most of my life I have been apprehensive about visiting a dentist despite knowing it is good for me. Most of my life I have dreaded walking into a dentist’s office knowing I will be nervous and anxious not just for the day of the appointment, but the days or weeks leading up to the visit. A year or so ago, a friend gave me a personal recommendation for a dentist. She claimed the dentist was different. She raved about the “experience” and how I have no reason to be anxious. Much to my surprise, when I walked into this new dentist’s office for the first time, the fi

transforming the dental experience through great dental office design What do most patients imagine when they think of a dentist office? Stark white walls that feel cold and lifeless? Drab medical posters that serve little use? Antiquated decor and furniture that is uncomfortable? At Designwise Interiors, an award winning dental office design studio, we are on a mission to change that. Create Outstanding Patient Experiences According to focus group studies, 75% of American adults are anxious about visiting a dentist. They are scared off by the perception of pain and discomfort that is associated with an unwelcoming and uncomfortable dental space. Rather than basing their judgements off of their actual experiences with the hygienists and dentists, their thoughts are clouded by past memories and associations with discomfort.

Image
2021 luxury dental office design on a budget Everyone loves luxury, from cars to jewelry, and clothes to offices, luxury is synonymous with quality, better workmanship, and extraordinary experiences. It’s no wonder so many dentists are looking for luxury dental office design to elevate their patient base and increase their overall income. We have all been to average dental offices where the waiting room and treatment areas are as plain as a plain bagel, leaving us unimpressed, and giving us no reason to want to pay a premium price for the services we received. After all, that’s human nature. We judge a book by it’s cover, and pay with our eyes. So wouldn’t it be smart to match the practice’s look and feel to your invaluable worth as an experienced dentist? Wouldn’t it make sense to create a luxury dental office that eliminates haggling and price-shoppers in favor or qualified patients ready to pay you what you’re worth? Luxury dental office design has been arou

2021 dental office design trends and considerations Starting a new dental practice, or revamping an existing one, can be an extremely exciting new chapter for most.  But as dentists embark upon this new journey, most will soon find themselves overwhelmed by the degree of detail surrounding every aspect of dental office design. One detail in particular when revamping or starting a new practice that cannot be ignored is what the office looks like.  Dental office design is so much more complicated than just buying a few waiting room chairs and rolling up some wallpaper on the walls, rather, it’s about creating the right space that not only satisfies those who are visiting, but also those who are contemplating becoming a patient. That’s why dental office design is so important, especially in 2021 where almost everything is visual.  In today’s world, creating your new space is no longer about you expressing your inner Picasso, but about using dental office design as
