Promote healthy habits and create a calm communal space with Canteen Wall Art.
The canteen is an important part of your school and a hub of activity! It’s a place where pupils meet, share and refuel, so it should offer a clean, positive and uplifting environment. Many schools are turning to Wall Art to enhance their canteens. Bespoke designs can transform the space and create an engaging communal area that everyone will enjoy.
It starts with mindset. We can design bespoke artwork that show pupils how and why to look after their bodies. Visual maps of the human body can explain how the food we eat supports children in various ways. You might also wish to showcase an array of healthy food choices for pupils to consider. Some schools even ask us to include visual signage within their designs. For example; instructions about where to recycle used crockery and how to dispose of unwanted food. In this way, there’s an environmental awareness benefit too. Your canteen can impart knowledge and insight that will support pupils’ wellbeing and lifestyle choices.
Using visual designs, you can promote healthy habits that will last beyond school. Pupils can grow into healthy and responsible citizens of the world. And impart their knowledge on others too.
Many schools request a nature backdrop for the canteen Wall Art. This is because spending time in nature improves wellbeing. So, instead of a dull, drab room, pupils can instead enter a rainforest, desert or mountain range. Nature backdrops help to create a serene space where pupils can feel calm and relaxed. In fact, nature walls are the perfect canteen backdrop to promote positive lunchtimes and support regulation.
Remember, you don’t need to transform the entire room to make an impact. Even a single wall will make a difference. You could transform a single wall that sits alongside your serving area, for example. Or even the entrance to your canteen.
But, if you’re unsure of what type of design you’d like, that’s fine too! We have over twenty years’ experience in design and education. So we can help you set your goal, choose the right location and decide what to include in your designs. We create all artwork bespoke and in-house. So your Wall Art will be truly unique and tailored to you!
Some schools use the walls of their canteen to inspire learning. For example; you could add a history timeline running horizontally 360 degrees around the room. This will help pupils learn while they lunch! Inspirational people are another popular choice for Canteen Wall Art. This could include people from a particular profession or field of interest. Or you could mix and match famous faces. The most important aspect of the design is that you show people from all backgrounds and abilities so pupils can see role models they can relate to.
Many schools use the walls of their canteen to look back (at alumni) or forward (to future careers). You might include a feature wall showing how the education you offer will prepare pupils for their future beyond school.
