| Annotation | Home-like environments with vibrant colours should be a key feature of care home design. The author, a design manager and her colleagues, discuss four points based on their experience which could improve the quality of life of people living with dementia: 1) everyone is different - there is no one approach; 2) clutter is dangerous; 3) under- and over-estimation of the power of colour; and 4) achieving a home-like environment.
