When you are planning to open a brand-new veterinary office, figuring out the right design can be daunting.

Are you looking for some advice on how you can design the best veterinary office for your clients and their fur babies.

Here are four veterinary practice design ideas to help you get started.

  1. Don’t Be Afraid to Go Bold

Neutral shades like beige and gray can help create a calming space, which is what you want when designing a veterinary hospital. But they can also make an area seem indifferent and, worst of all, dull.

Adding bright and vibrant pops of color to your vet office’s interior design scheme will make for a more welcoming, fun, and unique looking space. On top of that, it can also help boost your practice’s branding and make you more memorable to first-time clients.

  1. Casual Is Key

Dealing with a sick pet can be a traumatic experience for your clients. So, you want to make sure you do everything you can to make your office feel as comforting and welcoming as you possibly can.

Adding elements that are more common in residential design, like a fireplace or ceiling beams, can help put your clients and their pets at ease.

  1. Bring the Outside In

Most animals love the outdoors. So, why not bring a little of the outdoors into your veterinary practice.

Adding plants to your vet office design won’t just make your practice look better, it can help cut back on the amount of dust and dander in the room, purify the air, and even make your office smell better. On top of that, plants have a calming effect on humans. So, adding a few plants to your decor can help your clients stay calm.

Other design elements, like natural wood and water features, are also fantastic ways to bring a little bit of the outdoors into your veterinary practice.

  1. Keeping it Quiet

We all know just how noisy a vet office can be. While most pet parents know how to keep their voices down, furry and feathery companions aren’t always so well behaved.

Fortunately, although you can’t stop kittens from doing their best impersonation of a firetruck while getting their claws trimmed, there are plenty of things you can do from keeping the ruckus from bothering your other patients.

From extra noise-dampening insulation and doors to design elements like curtains and foam pads, there are dozens of ways to soften and block excess noise in your veterinary practice. And, for those sounds you can’t block, white noise elements like fountains can help keep things seemingly calm.
