Retail and Showroom Design

Stores, boutiques and showrooms designed to draw people in, show products well and keep staff efficient.

A store has a few seconds to say who it is. The storefront, the entry, the lighting and the layout all tell customers what to expect and where to go. Behind the scenes, stockrooms, checkout and displays have to keep staff efficient. Retailers and showroom owners in Nashville ask us to design spaces that look inviting, tell a story and work hard.

We begin with a visit to the space or site and a conversation about your brand, products and customers. We plan the storefront, entry sequence, display zones, fitting rooms, checkout and storage. We develop lighting, fixtures and finishes that suit your brand, prepare drawings for permit and construction and coordinate with sign makers and fixture suppliers. Bring photos of stores you admire and a list of your best selling products and how large they are. Seeing the look you like and knowing the items that must be displayed lets us design fixtures, lighting and aisles that fit your real inventory and the way customers will browse and buy. It also helps to describe your slowest and busiest hours. A store that feels comfortable with three shoppers can feel cramped with thirty, and knowing both situations lets us size the aisles, the checkout line and the fitting rooms for the peak without making the quiet hours feel empty.
