Business Palette Pleasers: 2021 Colors on The Office Refresh Menu

Want to Refresh Your Dental or Medical Office?
2021 Color Trends Paint a Bright New Year

Waiting is never easy, but waiting while worrying is the worst.

As a medical professional, you can’t completely eliminate patient nervousness, but you can provide an atmosphere that helps calm jitters before and during appointments. Luckily, you don’t need to undergo a massive renovation in 2021 just to enhance the atmosphere of your clinic’s waiting area and patient exam rooms.

For a low-budget — but effective — office refresh, Diane Miller, Miller Builders’ Interior Design Professional, suggests updating color palettes and finishes in your front-facing spaces.

Every December, Pantone^® announces the next Pantone Color of the Year. Historically it has been one color but after everything 2020 doled out, the color authority broke from tradition and delivered two colors: a medium gray and a sunny yellow.

According to Pantone’s website, the combo conveys “a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting…We need to feel that everything is going to get brighter – this is essential to the human spirit.”

If Pantone’s peppy 2021 combo isn’t the right fit for your office, Diane’s go-to resource for interior color trends is the annual Sherwin-Williams ColorMix^® Forecast, which offers multiple collections with a wider range of shades. According to Diane, this year’s theme is “Rhythm of Color” and includes palettes with evocative names, such as “Sanctuary” and “Continuum.”

To help clients envision the updated space, Diane provides them with a color board, which is a tool used by interior designers to showcase the proposed (and existing) colors and finishes for a room or area.

Astrid Moise, MD, founder of the Solon (Ohio) Vein Clinic, appreciated the value and insight that Diane provided throughout her 2019 office renovation. Dr. Moise says that she knew what she wanted her new practice’s interior to look like; however, articulating and making her vision a reality were much harder than expected.

“When I realized how many decisions had to be made, having an interior designer on the Miller Builders team made the whole process much easier,” Dr. Moise says.

“Diane sourced all of the samples for me, from paint to carpeting and the custom cabinetry options and countertops for each space,” she explains. “She even proposed an unusual design element—a living wall—to make my practice unique, which we loved.”
