The interior design of hospitals space takes an important role in improving well-being during medical stays. In Today in Ukraine, the development of medical institutions, and especially their interior spaces, is given insufficient attention, and they, with their outdated and unattractive appearance, can cause discomfort to most patients, employees and visitors. Based on this, the general objectives of the study were to analyze the practical experience of interior design of medical institutions and identify important aspects and features of interior design.

The article examines the design features of health care facilities from the perspective of the patient, visitor and employee. Analysis of the practical experience of interior design in modern hospitals around the world has revealed the main trends in design solutions. Analyzing the different designs of medical facilities around the world, it was found that the architectural styles for healthcare buildings are extremely diverse. From small specialized hospitals to huge medical complexes that help thousands of patients every day, each facility uses a unique combination of design details.

On the basis of this analysis the general approaches of design concerning their formation are revealed. Some of them are based on the orientation and comfortable movement of all subjects of the hospital. Others are based on the fact that the technicality and conciseness of the design - a guarantee of quality medical care. Another approach when the design is based on natural integration and environmental friendliness, which creates a comfortable feeling in the hospital. Based on this, important aspects of the design of medical institutions were identified, including: aesthetic, environmental, functional, psychological and practical aspects. The main features of the interior of medical institutions are identified, which include the following important design elements: noise background, aesthetic and compositional solutions, lighting (natural, artificial), natural communication, ergonomics, comfortable workplaces, accents, visual landmarks. This article defines that the interior design of medical institutions is a set of measures to ensure the proper level of hospitals, which will significantly improve the well-being of patients, optimize the work of employees and create a comfortable environment for all subjects of these institutions.
