Instead of hospital buff, most rooms are decorated with restful greys or greens, punctuated with cheery areas of brighter color. Pictures are changed often, but when the patient can stand the sight of one no longer, the nurse can turn its face to the wall (the back is a contrasting but harmonious color).
