Retail Decor – Fixtures, Displays and More

Signage, fixtures, mirrors and more. So much goes into the decor of your retail space that it can get overwhelming to plan for, not to mention expensive. For most retailers, whether you are adding something new or starting from scratch, the key is to find balance in budget and function so that your decor makes the most sense for your store and your customer.

Low Budget, High Function

A great way to shop for store fixtures is to consider buying used fixtures. Often you can find this from local retailers who are re-merchandising or closing their store and selling old fixtures, as well as by attending flea markets, salvation army stores, antique stores and other outlets that provide a variety of furniture pieces that may be suitable for your retail decor needs. Be creative and try and look beyond how the fixtures or furniture are currently being used so that you can see how they may be used for your specific needs. If you aren’t afraid of a little dirty work, sometimes it just takes some cleaning and a paint job to make things look new again – perfect for saving money while still bringing style to your retail dreams.

If doing some creative shopping isn’t your thing, there are companies that specialize in selling used or “like new” fixtures that may suit your needs. They include the following:

Pulling It All Together

Buying used, recycled or brand new, the overall effect of your retail store should compliment your product and store image. Be creative to make sure you stand out not only in function, but in style. Every detail matters here. Shopping for accessories for your store, such as wall hangings, mirrors, throw rugs, lighting and more, don’t have to be done at traditional store outlets but can be completed at any of your favorite shopping destinations. Bringing all these details together is the goal – just make sure you are supporting your customers in the design and function along the way!
