7 design principle for fashion retail
In interior design and decoration, the basic principles are how we use and present the different elements of an environment. Knowing them allows you to transform any space and make it look fabulous.
When we enter a well-designed room, everything feels good, united, cohesive. To achieve this effect, you must choose the right pieces and know-how to distribute them. A big-budget is not necessary; the design does not necessarily depend on expensive objects and furniture, but on the correct application of seven basic design principles:
- Bold colors –
The color will become a staple of retail interiors. Lighter shades are relegated to the background as bolder colors make their way to the windows. Using color blocking to grab the attention of buyers will be common practice. This will allow zoning and certain behavior of customers in stores.
- Light –
Light is one of the most important elements of the store. The current popular trend is to use a custom or ‘dynamic’ light source.
- A mix of old and new
A popular trend in 2019 is to use classic store designs to bring an eclectic aesthetic to the look. But consumers increasingly want to be in places that have character, personality, and storytelling. In 2019, retailers were spreading their brand story by renting out display cases with a particular history or cultural significance, making their brand a part of the city.
- Mosaic confetti
Given the enduring popularity of mid-century Art Nouveau, the return to Terrazzo decorative elements on all possible surfaces is not surprising.
The composite material, consisting of chips of marble, quartz, granite, and glass, resembles an explosion of confetti. There is never too much of this effect – see how ingeniously Terrazzo is embedded in the environment from floor to lighting fixtures and even curtains.
- Geometric patterns
While geometric patterns rarely go out of style due to their symmetry and harmony, ethnic prints seem to circulate about every 10-15 years or so, as times and tastes change.
Now, this trend is back in favor, thanks to the familiarity and comfort that can be reproduced even in the smallest spaces. And although “warm minimalism” in the interior is not new, today, it is at the top, as a direct reaction to today’s rather strict, limiting, and direct approach to interior design and retail.
- Eco-friendly
The love of nature has become an important aspect of interior design in 2018, and it will continue to be an important part of interior design trends for a long time to come. Incorporating nature into retail spaces provides relaxation for shoppers and stimulates store presence and retention.
Neutral tones and charcoal woodwork are becoming extremely popular in floors and ceilings in retail spaces.
- Huge
Living in an ever-accelerating and rapidly changing society, feelings of anxiety and frustration are inevitable in people’s lives. Retail therapy is all about comfort, but more importantly, it’s a space where consumers choose to spend their hard-earned money.
Retailers able to provide instant relief and safe space away from the city’s hustle and bustle are the clear winners. It’s all about finding order and beauty in the midst of chaos, and MUJI is a stunning example.
