retail shelving {colour commentary}


Real estate has the adage “location, location, location” and I think retail could live by “presentation, presentation, presentation”. The way items are showcased in a shop or show has a huge impact on how a designer, brand or company is perceived by a customer. I wrote an article on Rena Tom’s website on one specific area of presentation – shelves! From inset shelves in the shape of gems to a wall of recycled cardboard tubes to hold products, shelving is a fantabulous part of retail design and interiors in general. Even if you aren’t looking for retail inspiration, I poked around to find plenty of eye candy that could be applied your next home or office design. Take a peek at the post here.

hi Chloe, just discovered your blog and FB page. I am a colour lover as well, thank your for visiting my FB page and website. regarding your article about retail presentation I totally agree with you. I currently work in an Australian furniture design store and we have a visual merchandising team setting up all stores throughout Australia. it is amazing how many comments we get on our display in the store. as our store is located in a shopping centre, customers have the direct comparison with other stores and we are always happy about their feedback.

have a comment?
