When it comes to retail, making sales is no longer just about selling excellent products; customers are looking for a full experience when they visit a store. At Hyline Construction, we have experience in commercial retail interior design and construction and we have completed many projects that create a comprehensive customer experience.

Why Hire a Retail Custom Designer or Builder?

When a customer comes to a retail establishment, a big influence on whether or not a sale will be made is the environment. By creating an environment and aesthetic that complements the store’s sales focus, visitors to the store can gain a sense of confidence in the products being purchased. Retail interior designers do more than simply plan decorations; they also ensure that the store space and layout is being completely optimized for customer traffic and stock storage and display. A commercial custom designer and builder can be involved in all aspects of a retail remodel, from the planning and renovation all the way through to decoration. Whether a retail establishment is moving into a new space or needs a branding overhaul, a retail custom designer can help produce a very valuable end result.

Tips for Effective Custom Retail Interior Design

If you are looking to redesign your retail establishment, take a look at the following tips from experienced custom retail interior designers on what to keep in mind when planning a remodel:

Use Effective Lighting Options

Make sure that you implement a lighting setup that works with a store’s design and business model when coming up with a custom retail design. Although dim lights are an effective choice for a teen clothing store, they are usually a poor choice for a grocery store.

Optimize the Floor Layout

Setting up a store layout that allows for easy, unrestricted customer traffic flow can help keep customers moving toward the cash register and makes it easier to discern between the different sections of the store. In this way, hiring a commercial interior designer who knows how to optimize a store’s layout can help a business become more effective.

Use Window Space Wisely

Whether a store uses window space to display its wares or as a simple view into the shopping area of the store, the view from the window should put the establishment’s best foot forward. During the retail custom design, make sure that the view from the window into the store is inviting and encourages customers to come into the store to look around.
