Wall murals are particularly useful in hospital wards as they bring the outside in and generally make them less clinical and more aesthetically pleasing. In the case of dementia wards, they also serve a more functional purpose. Wall murals on dementia wards or in care homes can be valuable for ‘wayfinding’ – creating recognisable markers that help people locate key areas. They can also encourage certain behaviours that allow them stay calm and happy. We often use local scenes to promote a feeling of familiarity.
Our other products that aid wayfinding include external healthcare signage, dementia signage, Picture This, memory boxes and internal wayfinding signage.
