Character Farms

Enhancing Healing Through Immersive Design

Children’s hospitals are unique environments where care goes beyond medicine—spaces must also support emotional well-being and comfort. Across the country, healthcare providers are embracing the power of thoughtful design to create more inviting, less intimidating experiences for young patients and their families.

The Store Décor partners with Character Farms to transform clinical spaces into uplifting, engaging environments that promote healing. Through the use of vibrant signage, friendly characters, and immersive themed elements, these designs help reduce stress, improve wayfinding, and foster a sense of calm and familiarity. Whether in lobbies, corridors, or treatment areas, these visual experiences create positive associations with care and support a child-friendly approach to healthcare.

About the Solution

Character Farms worked with The Store Décor to fabricate a range of custom signage and 3D sculptures to support the patient experience in children’s hospitals. This included 3D sculptures and foam art - all tailored to align with each hospital’s theme, branding, and therapeutic goals.

Lightweight foam-based sculptures were hand- and CNC-sculpted, then finished with protective coatings and custom paint to ensure both visual impact and durability in high-traffic environments. Signage elements were crafted with similar care, using bright colors, legible typography, and friendly imagery to guide families while easing the stress of navigation in clinical spaces. The result is an integrated visual system that supports healing, enhances the environment, and reflects each hospital’s commitment to compassionate, family-centered care.
