IDS ESSENTIALS™ PRODUCTS
With IDS Essentials™ it’s easier than ever to create kid-friendly areas in your practice. We have curated a collection of predesigned products, chosen from our most popular themes. Our themes are available in: underwater, beach, jungle, safari, woodland, and outer space.
Choose IDS Essentials™ if you want:
- Faster planning

- Durable commercial-grade decor
- Options for phased projects
- A simpler way to refresh an existing space
IDS Essentials™ is a great choice for faster, pre-designed, budget-conscious projects.
CUSTOM DESIGNED DECOR
A custom IDS project is ideal when you want more than individual decor pieces; you want a fully themed experience. That might include a one-of-a-kind reception desk, large-scale landmark character, immersive wall-to-wall environment, custom photo opportunity, branded play area, themed wayfinding, or a design concept created specifically for your building.
Custom decor may be the better choice if you want to:
- Create a completely unique theme
- Design around unusual architecture, large walls, or specific room layouts
- Incorporate your logo, mascot, local community, or brand story
- Build a signature photo-op or landmark feature
- Make your space a major part of your marketing and patient experience

WHY CHOOSE CATALOG PRODUCTS
BENEFITS OF IDS ESSENTIALS™
Fast Turnaround – No Waiting for Design Time or Approvals
IDS Essentials™ are pre-designed, which means you skip the usual sketching, 3D modelling, and CAD process – no back-and-forth revisions or approval delays. Choose from a curated collection of pre-designed murals, 3D sculptures, and decor elements that are ready to go.
Lower Cost Than Custom Products
Because IDS Essentials™ are pre-designed, you save on both design time and customization fees. That means you get IDS quality and creativity at a lower price point, perfect for budget-conscious projects, phased rollouts, or adding flair to smaller spaces without breaking the bank.
Same Durable Materials as Our Custom Work
We don’t cut corners. Essentials are made with the same high-performance materials we use in our fully custom environments, UV-resistant vinyls, commercial-grade foams, and our proprietary hardcoat for long-lasting strength. You get the same durability, safety, and quality that IDS is known for.
Easy, Self-Installation Options
No installers? No problem. Many IDS Essentials™ pieces are designed for simple self-installation using basic tools and wall mounts. We provide clear instructions, and our team is always available if you need extra guidance. This makes it easy to upgrade your space on your own schedule.
Brandable Options – Add Logos and Custom Touches
Want to make it yours? Select IDS Essentials™ products allow for light customization, like adding your clinic or library logo, changing colors, or including messaging that matches your brand. You get the best of both worlds: pre-made convenience with a personal twist.
Perfect for Phased Projects or Multiple Locations
IDS Essentials™ are a smart solution when you’re rolling out decor across several sites or updating spaces in stages. With consistent designs and quick shipping, it’s easy to maintain a cohesive look while managing timelines and budgets. Whether you’re outfitting one location now and more later, or coordinating theming across a network of clinics, IDS Essentials™ makes it simple and scalable.
