In one of my education classes, we visited an Reggio Emilia school. Reggio Emilia is a place in Italy that has a completely different way on how they do school.
The student sit on tree stumps, and the teachers don't have a huge office-like desk, so that the children feel they can approach them easily. The colors (aside from art supplies and stuffed animals) are natural and neutral as opposed to fluorescent lighting and bright, primary-colored plastic everything.
I also liked that everything hanging on the walls were from the children, rather than a "hang in there!" kitten poster.
They also teach the students yoga and its benefits! Omg.
