Transforming care homes into luxury living spaces means more than simply picking expensive fixtures and fittings. As Rebecca Hartley of Rebecca Hartley Interiors explains, the right design choices should elevate the everyday lives of residents
When people think of 'luxury', a care home might not be the first image that comes to mind. But perhaps it should be, because in later life, luxury is not about extravagance or status. It is about comfort, beauty, dignity, and the joy of being somewhere that truly feels like home.
Having worked in care home interior design for over a decade, I have seen first-hand how a thoughtfully designed space can dramatically improve quality of life. Done well, design in care environments is not just about functionality or compliance (although both are essential). It is about elevating the everyday experience for the people who live and work there.
Care home interiors should be uplifting and familiar. Spaces should offer residents a sense of autonomy and security while remaining practical for staff and carers. Luxury and functionality can — and should — go hand in hand.
