Long white corridors, functional rooms and bright neon lights are images that quickly spring to mind when you think of a hospital. In recent years, colors have been used in the design to ensure better differentiation between floors, for example. Or to differentiate private stations from other areas.
“Until now, it was important for the clinic to provide the same medical treatment for everyone, but in the private clinic, special service, comfort and a nicer ambience are also desired,” says clinic managing director Alexander Holubars.

Helios presents a new generation of its rooms in Krefeld
The private clinic at Helios Klinikum Krefeld shows what patient rooms and wards could look like in the future. A new color and lighting design should make it better for everyone – patients, relatives and employees. The next conversion is already in the pipeline.
