As leading shopfitters in Ireland, we at DDC Fitout & Design have a keen interest in the latest retail trends. With the rise of online shopping, it’s more important than ever for physical stores to work hard to attract customers. By implementing some of the trends and ideas below, you can help your retail space thrive again.
Green paint
One trend we’re loving is the use of different shades of green in store interiors. At DDC Fitout & Design, we recently used green in a zero-waste shop fitout project and the results were stunning. Fresh and bright, green works in most spaces and feels inviting.
Technology
Technology is constantly evolving, and new gadgets and systems are being implemented into retail design. The latest electronics not only look stylish, but they also serve a purpose, helping customers or staff members. From smart retail displays to electronic catalogues, there’s a wide range of options to choose from for your next electrical fitout project.
Shopfitters Ireland: Branding
Branding is crucial in-store design. Customers should be able to feel, smell, touch, and hear the brand. Now more than ever, brands want to be recognized and remembered for future business.
Fun design
Stores that are fun, colourful, and have interactive elements are very popular at the moment. Customers want to feel relaxed and happy when shopping, and informal environments help to achieve that.
Competitor fitout designs
During the research phase, make sure to include competitor fitout designs in your decision making. This is a great way to expand your design criteria while taking the best practices from competitor retail fitout projects.
Biophilic design
Biophilic design involves more than just adding plants and greenery to a space. It’s about embracing natural materials, sustainability, and using natural colours and textures to create beautiful and calming spaces. At DDC Fitout & Design, we believe that the more greenery the better – it improves air quality and helps us connect with nature. Be sure to include plenty of plants in your space.
