Canvas prints for doctor's office waiting room

Nothing lends a room a dignified touch as easily as paintings on canvas , especially when they are representatively attached to a stretcher frame. Of course, real paintings are hardly suitable for decorating a waiting room or a treatment room. High-quality prints on canvas offer an ideal alternative.

What to consider when choosing a theme

Most patients feel some discomfort when visiting a doctor, some even fear. The pictures on the walls should therefore have a calming and relaxing effect. Ideally, they distract and tempt you to dream. Therefore, landscapes and gardens are very popular as canvas motifs. Meditative elements also serve this purpose. Typical images from the SPA area such as orchids, stone towers or Zen gardens have a calming influence.

Large or small pictures for the waiting room?

Lots of small pictures spread over a wall are more likely to please in the private sphere. Since this brings unrest into the room, this wall design is hardly suitable for a doctor's office. Here , large format prints on canvas are the better choice.

This applies in particular to the practice's waiting room , which traditionally contains small pieces of furniture such as chairs and side tables. A large mural with a simple motif creates a calm atmosphere.

Care of the canvas paintings

Unlike printing behind acrylic glass the canvas prints are not protected by a transparent art glass plate. This means that the surfaces will get dusty over time. Since the canvas is primed before printing, the fabric is water repellent. Printing is done with UV and age-resistant inks. The motif is scratch-resistant connected to the canvas.

You can therefore remove dust from the canvas pictures at any time with a soft cloth or, even better, a brush. Even wiping with a damp cloth does no harm.

Tip : Take two towels. Dip one in water and wring it out well. Spread out the dry cloth and place the damp cloth over it. Now wring out both towels together. You now have 2 damp cloths to clean the canvas pictures.

What to consider when hanging the canvas pictures

Even high-quality UV-resistant colors change when exposed to strong light for a long time. Therefore, you should never hang the pictures on a wall that is exposed to direct sunlight .

Use blinds to shade the room, this protects all furniture and prevents the room from overheating.

It can be installed directly on the wall using the concealed mounting bracket . Alternatively, it is advisable to attach a rail to the wall and attach the canvas pictures with a cord and hook.
