…the wicker/rattan/pastel floral look is outdated, as seen here in the “before” picture of an eating nook at Erickson Living.
Now, the same space has been opened up and updated. The carpet has been replaced with vinyl wood flooring that not only looks better, but is also easy to keep clean.
This serving area wasn’t terrible, but it was a little dark and muddled. Signage is an important part of branding, and fonts can get old quickly.
Now, the same area looks a lot different with subtle changes in the signage and the color palette that are neutral, allowing for pops of color with accent pieces that can be changed out, keeping the look fresh. Lights are LED, not fluorescent, which can be cold.
This dining area has plenty of windows, but it still managed to feel drab and lifeless.
Now, the same space is awash in light, thanks to an on-trend weathered blue paint job and seating that’s varied to create more visual interest.
This line had a definite cafeteria/institutional vibe before its makeover.
With the addition of sleek tiles, dark wood, new signage and vastly better LED lighting, the same area looks light years ahead.
Part of the design team’s objective was to remove dark colors like burgundy and mossy green in this fireplace room.
The fireplace room has gotten a wake-up call into a welcoming, energizing place to recharge by the fire.
Before, the place to get your grab-and-go meal was not exactly inspiring.
A cove for beverages creates a more defined space for dining.
Both cafes in this renovation received more stations for seniors who want to get their meal or snack to go.
The old look of this café is now just a memory.
And the dining room has been brought into this century.
