The importance of interior design within a retail store has further increased with an economical downturn forcing companies across all business sectors to ensure they attract and meet the demands of clients and customers to ensure transaction rates remain strong towards sustainable net profit margins. Although the overall arrangement of display features and item placements are considered prerequisite, an unappealing store can detract prospective customers from entering a store or increasing conversions. Any store should be designed with its respective target market in mind, as the volume of customers requires an attractive retail space that is both well laid out and safe to walk around. The exterior aspects of a store is also an opportunity for companies to integrate an attractive display through artificial flowers and colourful trailing plants as many buildings are located where the general public pass by on a daily basis, either on foot or in a vehicle.
An eye-catching floral display throughout the interior and exterior aspects of a store can be appealing, both in colour and aesthetic quality, to customers and staff members. Contrary to the general consensus, purchasing artificial flowers does not result in a loss of quality that may be provided by the real version as the detail within arrangements and mixed bunches are equally absorbing, irrespective of the reduced price. Placing artificial arrangements across a retail store, whether in a decorative vase or a hanging basket, brings a natural feel which can make customers feel more calm and relaxed during their shop. The naturalness is also beneficial to staff members as flowers act as mood elevators that can be important towards improving efficiency and productivity.
Numerous psychological studies indicate that bright colours are not only significantly appealing and eye-catching, but can improve the overall happiness and mood of each individual. Warm colours such as red, yellow and blue offer their own unique message and mood elevator, which when combined with the visual qualities of trailing plants, are excellent purchases which should be valued as a wise investment towards ensuring quality of store design to attract customers and maintain conversion rates.
