Plan ahead and make color splashes with more easily revamped decorative elements.
"Color is trendy," says HospitalDesign 360 speaker Dan Chapel, AIA, NCARB. For this reason, he suggests not permanently planting your veterinary clinic in time by making colors too hard to change. What does a bad choice look like?
"Obviously, if you tried to change out your entire floors of your hospital, that would be difficult, if not impossible, and it would certainly be cost prohibitive," he says.
So instead of starting with color-of-the-moment tile and building upward, Chapel suggests bringing vibrancy to the practice with components that are easier-and cheaper-to replace. Here are the items he recommends:

Tickled pink: Spring remodel tips.
Tiny makeover: Declutter your veterinary hospital's reception area .
Put your stamp on your practice through art.
So, keep your fundamental components timeless and ride the trends on a smaller scale.
