Psych-safe unit decorating

Hi All,

  I work on a locked inpatient unit in a community hospital and have been in psych nursing for about a year. I switched disciplines and now feel I can look around and notice some places our unit can improve. Are all psych units blah and drab or just mine? Are there general restrictions prohibiting decorating for adults in a locked psych unit? If anyone has ideas or links I would appreciate it. I am just picturing old school thin cardboard decorations that my mom used to hang in our house in the '80s ?

  thanks in advance!

    Way back 20 odd years ago when I was bouncing around the system I got to help create a sand stone sculpture which now sits out the front of the new unit.  It was meadningful because many of us got to help make it. 

    Would it be doable to have consumers involved in some of the redecoration.
