The Rijnstate hospital in The Netherlands has been paying a lot of attention to the "healing environment". The basic principle of the "healing environment" concept is that spatial design adds to the well-being of patients. The advantages of this include a shorter stay in the hospital, a reduction in the required medication and a better experience for the patient.
The Rijnstate hospital aims to offer the patient a transparent and organized environment, without stress factors. Color and art - on both the floor and on the wall - provides a pleasant distraction.
