Following the complete renovation of Ashgate Hospice’s family room earlier this year, Designer Contracts is set to redesign and refurbish three counselling rooms at the Chesterfield facility.
Ashgate provides specialist palliative and end-of-life care, supporting more than 400 patients and up to 20,000 friends and family members each year. However, over 70% of its income is reliant on local support.
Peter Kelsey, MD at Designer Contracts said: “We were delighted to help out at the hospice which plays a vital role in the local community but couldn’t survive without significant support.
“As a result of updating the family room we’ve received wonderful feedback from patients and their families and are thrilled to help continue the new interior theme into three counselling rooms next year.”
The family room plays a crucial role for people to relax, often sleep and prepare food while visiting.
With a brief from the hospice to create a ‘home from home environment’ in the room, Designer Contracts’ interior design team focused on a calming and relaxing scheme of sages, lilacs and warm greys, incorporating several seating areas, to include sofa beds where friends and family could sleep when necessary.
Designer Contracts was recently named in the Business Reporter’s Best of British Campaign, which recognises success stories in British business. The accolade was awarded to just 10 companies in the UK.
