Care environments
Textiles that care for people and places
In healthcare and care environments, textiles play a vital role in how spaces feel and function — contributing to calm, privacy, hygiene and orientation.
At Almedahls, we design textiles that support wellbeing in everything from hospital settings to residential care environments.
12 shades. One expression. DEEP.
A textile that defines rhythm, structure and softness. Designed with White Arkitekter – now available in 12 curated shades.
Why textiles matter in care
- Comfort and calm
- Light and privacy control
- Acoustic balance
- Hygiene and disinfection
Textiles in care are never just decorative. They support comfort and calm, offer light and privacy control, balance acoustics and meet hygiene needs. At the same time, they help define zones, guide orientation and bring identity to public spaces — making environments both functional and welcoming.
Hospitals and clinics
Textiles made for clinical care with comfort and clarity in mind
In clinical environments, hygiene is non-negotiable, but comfort and visual ease are just as important.
- Tested for real use in healthcare environments
- Washable at up to 70°C and cleanable with 45% isopropanol
- Withstands frequent handling without fibre breakdown
- Helps reduce stress through calming colours and soft textures
Patterned textiles like MORRIS bring softness and orientation — helping sterile spaces feel more human.
Residential care homes
Textiles that bring comfort and clarity to care homes
In residential settings, textiles help shape safe and supportive environments — guiding routines and contributing to a sense of ease.
- Adds warmth, calm and familiarity to shared spaces
- Supports rest, orientation and visual zoning
- Suitable for frequent laundering and disinfection
Fabrics like DEEP offer both tactility and visual comfort in everyday care.
Mental health and recovery
Creating calm, grounded spaces for recovery
Spaces for mental health and rehabilitation must balance structure and softness — to reduce overstimulation and promote a sense of safety.
- Visual calm through acoustic and dim-out textiles
- Surface-cleanable and disinfectable
- Tactile comfort to support grounding
Careful colour and pattern choices can reduce sensory overload and support healing.
Waiting areas and transitions
First impressions that feel safe and welcoming
The experience of care begins before treatment starts. Waiting areas and corridors often set the tone.
- Soft textiles balance light, privacy and clarity
- Support acoustic comfort and room division
- Help reduce stress in high-traffic spaces
With the right materials, even brief encounters become less stressful — for patients and staff alike.
Rehabilitation & special care
Textiles that adapt to unique needs and changing conditions
In specialised care, flexibility and safety are key. Textiles help create environments that are both protective and personal — supporting recovery, mobility and independence.
- Designed for safety, comfort and ease of use
- Helps reduce overstimulation through calming tones and textures
- Adaptable for use in sensory rooms, mobility training or assisted care spaces
Fabrics are selected for their durability, cleanability and reassuring tactility — making complex care settings feel more grounded and humane.
