Natural elements in store displays

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Visual merchandising with natural elements is popular in all types of retail stores and for catalog photography staging.

Tweed Baby Outfitters uses branches as fixture bars for hanging apparel and stumps for display risers for shoes. This store for babies and toddlers is located in the popular shopping area of Edgehill Village in Nashville TN.

These unique wall displays for jewelry at Umba Creative Coop in Boulder CO, are made from bark pieces, twigs and stump slices.

Felt birds and acorn bookends fit well in the merchandise mix with jewelry on branches in this display window at Trinket in Burlington VT.

Floral, greenery and shells are strategically placed in the jewelry and accessory display cabinets at Details in Winter Park FL.

Vintage props and dried flowers create a lovely vignette for this blue pottery display at The Farmhouse Store in Westfield NJ.

Heavy metal store displays: Retail Details

Monday, October 17th, 2011

Custom fixtures. Rock on!

Steel rebar, custom welded for cd display racks. 

Stenciled, vinyl record albums double as retail signs to define the music genre areas.

Industrial tubes form the base of the cash wrap.

Custom curved counter for books, magazines and local music news.

From their website, “We’re an independent record shop and we’re independent minded. We love our home in Orlando and we want to share it with everyone, especially you! So come on by…” Park Avenue CDs. We accepted the invitation in August and wish the pictures could better capture the vibe of this great shop!

Park Ave CDs  is a member of  The Coalition of Independent Music Stores (CIMS). To locate an independent music store near you, see their website, http://www.cimsmusic.com/

Displayvorites: staff picks, store displays

Monday, September 19th, 2011

We love visual merchandising! Retail Details blog reviews hundreds of store display pictures every week. In this bonus blog post we share a few favorites.

Chelsea’s pick:

This is one of Chelsea’s favorite displays at the Baglady Boutique in Springfield, MO. The bed is an old twin bed, painted a beautiful shade of brick red. They change the bed and accessories to match the season or to showcase new bedding designs. Additional quilts are hung on the wall in a way that encourages customers to touch them and to see the reverse sides. Accessories are displayed on the bed and numerous rugs peek out from beneath. 

Chelsea Redfern is an intern at The Retail Details blog and is a visual merchandising princess ;-)

Becky’s pick:

There are no fashion faux paws in Naples, Florida, because the pampered pets are outfitted from Pucci & Catana Luxury Pet Boutique. Their pet beds, food dishes and water bowls are displayed in a white wall unit worthy of the designer handbags in surrounding stores in the upscale shopping area known as Fifth Avenue South.

Visit the Retail Details Facebook Page for many more display examples and stay updated by joining us on Twitter, too.

Stay display inspired!

Product as the primary focus in visual merchandising, store displays and trade show booth examples

Sunday, September 11th, 2011

Visual merchandising pictorial: the product as the primary focus. Enter Sockerbit, which means “sugar cube” in Swedish. On Christopher Street in the West Village area of New York City, the owners of Sockerbit designed a clean, open, white retail space where the center of attention would be the sweets – their colors and shapes. The store has all white cabinetry and the candies are in clear bins allowing the product to be the primary focus. The Sockerbit shop keeps things sweet, simple and Swedish!

From the New York International Gift Fair, August 2011:

Black electrical tape was used to simulate shelves in the booth of Lazy Oaf, a brand from the UK, exhibiting at the NYIGF. The clever, almost comical, booth design, sets the tone for the fun cards and accessories on display in the booth. It looked even more 3-D in person. This booth was as eye-catching as many of the booths that had much more elaborate displays. Once again, the focus is on featuring the product.

It was not the first NYIGF show for Wakami, but it was the first time they had their own booth. Nice job!

This blog post opened with a Swedish store in the US, so sharing displays from an American store in Stockholm is only fitting – and represents the summer of Retail Details travels.

Woolrich offers men’s and women’s clothing that has embraced the outdoor lifestyle since 1830.

I’ve always enjoyed how their displays fit the theme of being the “Original Outdoor Clothing Company”.

Their small store in Stockholm is no exception. The industrial fixtures and concrete floors are softened by the use of their signature displays of books.
