Designing Wall-Coverings & Murals for Care Home & Healthcare Projects
Designing wall-coverings and murals for the care home and healthcare environment is an area ATADesigns have been working on for some time. The service provides bespoke design solutions for wall-coverings and murals to suit any project. When designing for care home or healthcare environments — whether for patient care in a hospital, residents in a care home, clinics, hospices, doctors' surgeries, or the staff who work in these establishments — their needs come first. Creating a safe and caring environment, including its interiors, is vital. Bespoke wall-covering and mural designs play a significant role in these spaces, promoting well-being and having a positive influence on emotions, leaving patients and residents feeling comfortable and happy in their environment.

Bringing the Outside In and Evoking Memory
Clients often choose to bring the outside into a design — using photographs or illustrations inspired by nature or local surroundings to evoke memory and familiarity. ATADesigns creates the designs and Wallsmiths provides commercial-quality printing on wide-width wall-coverings.

Research into the history of a project is carried out to bring historical features into the design, making the mural personal to the space.

Illustration Design
ATADesigns has a unique and versatile design style when creating wall-covering and mural designs — depending on the project, this could be through a mix of hand-drawings, photographs or illustrations, digitally printed to the highest standard.
Murals for Corridors, Dining Rooms and More
Illustration designs for long corridors are a popular choice. These could be a street scene with local shops — such as a flower shop, hairdresser or post office — or a pub with a bar for a dining room. When creating a scene, familiar places are incorporated into the design to help with memory, especially for people living with dementia.
Illustrations already created include: a bus stop, the interior of a flower shop, a post office and street scene.
