A children's hospital in which it is not scary: the experience of foreign designers. Portfolio "interiors of medical premises, centers, hospitals" Design of a waiting area in a children's medical center
Not all volunteer initiatives can easily be classified by type of volunteering. For example, the creators of the Cheerful Corridor project call themselves art social volunteers. About how a group of volunteers decided to give bright colors to the walls of children's hospitals - in the material of the special project "Volunteer Year".
The history of the Cheerful Corridor project began in 2012, when the Board of Trustees of the Morozov Hospital decided to invite artists to paint the walls in two departments. It was decided to turn the familiar plain walls into beautiful and bright ones in order to improve the mood and make the stay of little patients in the hospital more comfortable and joyful. At first, no one thought about a full-fledged volunteer project, they just wanted to create a comfortable space for children in the hospital.
Then, at the end of 2012, under new year holidays the first post about the search for volunteers to paint the walls of the hospital was published on social networks. About 20 people responded to the call, 15 volunteers got directly to the painting of the walls. Among them is the artist Anna Rumyantseva, who later became one of the founders of the Cheerful Corridor project.
"We were divided into two groups (in departments) and everyone worked holidays. By the end of the New Year holidays, one of the departments was scheduled, and we unanimously began to complete the work in the second department. And when it was all over, we formed a small group of people interested in continuing to paint walls in children's hospitals," recalls Anna Rumyantseva.

At first, the project was supposed only to paint the walls of the Morozov hospital, but then, as the volunteers joke, all the walls there ended, and the project began to expand.
"We, together with the Korablik Charitable Foundation, with which we cooperated at that time, turned to the Department of Health with a proposal to participate in our project and other hospitals in Moscow. The Department helped us a lot by informing medical institutions and organizing a meeting with interested leaders of these institutions" , - says the artist, member of the initiative group "Merry Corridor" Elena Filimonova.
New Horizons
With each new painting, the project gained popularity and attracted more and more medical institutions. The Cheerful Corridor tries not to deny hospitals painting, but in order for volunteers to paint, certain criteria must be met. For example, it is necessary that the walls are repaired so that the paint does not peel off from them.

“Also, the hospital management should provide us with a room for storing paints, brushes and other tools and equipment,” says Elena Filimonova.
The painting of a large department of the hospital, depending on the complexity, can take from six months to a year. Now, as the organizers of the project say, a whole queue has lined up to paint the walls. But, perhaps, very soon the volunteers of the project will be able to paint the walls at the same time in several hospitals.

Recently, the project joined the Union of Volunteer Organizations and Movements (RED) and thus acquired a legal status and new opportunities, in particular, to attract donations.
"All this gives us reason to hope that in the near future the "Fun Corridor" will be able to simultaneously make paintings in several hospitals and our "queue" will move much faster. REDD will also offer us cooperation with institutions that implement other volunteer projects", - said Elena Filimonova.
So far, the geography of the project is mainly limited to Moscow and the nearest suburbs. But there are also cases of cooperation with medical institutions from other regions.

"In 2016, we collaborated with the Zhivi!" powerful experienced landing force "in order to advance and successfully complete the work," Anna Rumyantseva notes.
The activities of the project over the past five years have inspired caring people from all over Russia, and now in the Smolensk region, Bryansk, Samara, and the Urals, volunteers are also painting hospital walls.
Form style
During the painting of the very first objects, the style of the "Merry Corridor" had not yet formed, and drawings in different techniques could well have appeared on the neighboring walls. But gradually the project participants came to the principle of coloring by numbers. When drawing, you need to paint over a circled piece of the wall with a number with a certain color. This style of painting is considered the most suitable for mass painting, and even those volunteers who absolutely cannot draw can take part in the painting.
Any participant in this process feels that he is joining the beauty and usefulness, that this wonderful painted wall contains his work, and such walls look like those painted by a professional artist in a flat style. Artists prepare the wall for painting in advance, breaking it into pieces, like batik or mosaic, where each piece will be painted with its own color,” says Olga Sutemyeva, an artist and member of the initiative group.
There are no age restrictions for Cheerful Corridor volunteers. Schoolchildren with students, older people, and even the smallest ones take part in the project.

“Once my seven-year-old nephew Roma came to the painting. He watched how the sketches were created and took a lively part in their development. He was one of the main ones in the focus group of kids! And he also advised adding cars and transport to the cartoons, because it will be very interesting for the boys. And when the drawings were put on the walls, Roma painted over his piece with trepidation and joy, "recalls Olga Sutemyeva.
“Somehow, a five-year-old Nastya came to us, who was held by her grandfather by the hand. They came to the hospital to visit Nastya’s younger sister and really wanted to see what was happening there, behind this door with a sign “Merry Corridor” ?! We are hospitable and friendly , and Nastenka, as a result, painted all the butterflies very beautifully for us! In the "Merry Corridor" it is impossible not to pick up a brush, "said Ekaterina Trofimova, a member of the initiative group of the Merry Corridor project.

It happens that celebrities come to paint the walls and chat with little hospital patients. For example, the musician Noize MC took part in the painting in the Morozov hospital. Seeing an idol for children in the hospital was an unforgettable experience.
"The guys, of course, enjoyed it, but the girls who were in the next department had even more pleasure. They walked past the drawing Noise and almost went crazy with the presence of their adored singer nearby. It was an interesting experience, and Thanks a lot Ivan and his team for participating in the action," said Anna Rumyantseva.
Volunteering as a way of life
"Merry Corridor" is difficult to attribute to any particular type of volunteering, there are elements of both cultural and social volunteering.

Design of a children's medical center- this is the case when it is required to combine the experience of designing public institutions and the approach applied to the interiors of rooms for kids. Friendliness, convenience and safety - these are the main criteria that you need to focus on when arranging medical and health facilities for children. It is important to understand that for kids, a visit to the doctor is associated with various fears. So that a visit to a healthcare institution does not provoke hysteria and protests in a child, designers strive to create a cozy homely atmosphere in medical centers. Let the visit to the doctor turn into a kind of game for the baby.
Design of the reception area in the children's medical center
In the picture: Registration of the reception area in the children's medical center
The design of the reception area of the children's medical center performs, first of all, a presentation function. The visitor should immediately understand where the reception desk is located. The design of a medical center is considered ideal, which inspires confidence in visitors as soon as they enter. Patients must be confident that they will receive first-class care and treatment in accordance with modern technologies. Agree that the reception area designed in the spirit of the Soviet hospital can hardly cope with such tasks. In a recent interior project for a children's medical center, designers Studios of Olga Kondratova decided to arrange the reception desk in nautical style. Reminiscent of a chalk drawing on asphalt, classics at the entrance bring a playful element to the design. And the reception desk, stylized as a ship's side, creates adventure motifs. The design of the reception area uses simple but high-quality Decoration Materials: wood, concrete, brick. This finish is highly durable, which is especially important for rooms with high traffic. For the interior, a beige-brown gamma was selected, diluted blue accents. Installed next to the column, a mustard chair creates additional space for waiting.
And here is another example of the interior of the reception area in the children's medical center. The white color base here is diluted with juicy green paints. A wall painting depicting a protected forest creates a calming atmosphere. Interesting solution- built-in white a closet in the shape of a house, which becomes part of the artistic composition.
Design of a playroom in a children's medical center
Pictured: Design play area at the children's medical center
A playroom in a children's medical center is a necessity, not an excess. Here, children will always find something to do while adults communicate with the doctor, waiting for the results of the studies. The design of the playroom in the medical center shown in the photo is an example of successful zoning. Please note that the gaming area is separated from the waiting area transparent partition. Thanks to this, the parent will be able to watch their child while in the waiting room. The playroom is divided into a sports corner with wall bars, a rope and a mat, and an area for creative activities, where children's tables and chairs are installed. Shelves in the shape of a house will accommodate books, toys and objects for creative activities. On white brick wall there is a place for children's drawings. The color basis chosen for this design project is neutral. Juicy green hues enliven the bright monochrome space.

The design of the waiting area in the children's medical center, the project of which was developed in the Studio of Olga Kondratova, was solved in modern style. Brickwork on the wall brings motifs into the room loft which are supported by ceiling beams. The purpose of the premises implies focusing on comfortable areas for recreation. Therefore, the main attention here was paid to finding a convenient and comfortable upholstered furniture. Mustard and blue '60s-inspired armchairs enliven a space dominated by natural wood tones.
Design of bathrooms in a children's medical center
In the photo: The first version of the interior of the bathroom in the children's medical center
IN bathroom interior in the children's medical center, you can afford various coloristic experiments. For convenience, it is worth installing not only standard plumbing, but also a children's toilet. To make it easier for babies to wash their hands, the sink can be fixed at a low level.
In the photo: Light green tones are used in the second version of the interior of the bathroom in the children's medical center.
For bathroom interior in the children's medical center, the designers of the Olga Kondratova Studio offered two design options. The first solution using brown and blue shades is interesting for its wall painting with seagulls. In the second version of the interior of the bathroom in children's in the medical center, the laminate or parquet in the flooring was replaced with tiles. Light green tones dominate here, and the drawings on the walls seem to be borrowed from the pages of a children's book.
Features of the interior design of the children's medical center
So, the design of a medical center for children is characterized by the following features:
- Each room in the institution corresponds to its purpose, but at the same time, the zones and offices do not look fragmented, all together they work for the unity of design.
- Careful disguise of medical instruments. Children are very sensitive to diagnostic equipment and unfamiliar objects. Therefore, all instruments in doctors' offices should be removed. This will avoid unnecessary whims and not provoke unnecessary fears in the child.
- Safety. Almost all children are characterized by increased mobility. They find it difficult to sit still while their parents discuss with doctors important questions. Therefore, when developing the design of a children's medical center, it is important to ensure that children can move freely along the corridors without being exposed to the risks of accidentally stumbling on sharp corners or slipping on a slippery floor. In doctors' offices, you can even think of soft floor coverings providing comfort and safety. Of course, the trim elements themselves and furniture should be made from environmentally friendly materials. Please note that there are both wallpapers and paints on the market that are designed specifically for redecorating children's rooms.
- A large number of items that attract the attention of the child: wall paintings, toys, posters, books and paintings. A visit to the doctor should remind the baby of an exciting adventure, and not be an unpleasant routine necessity. Toys will not be superfluous not only in the waiting area, but also in the offices of specialists. If the child starts to act up, then it can be distracted.
- When designing interior design children's medical center, it is important to take into account the interests of not only visitors, but also employees. Therefore, rooms should be comfortable for medical personnel, providing them with safe working conditions. If the area of the institution allows, then it is possible to provide for employees private rooms for rest and snacks.
