7 Tips to Renovate and Maximize your Small Retail Store Space
                     7 TIPS TO RENOVATE 
AND MAXIMIZE YOUR 
SMALL RETAIL STORE 
SPACE!
Retail Store Renovation
• Renovating a small retail store space is not the same as 
renovating a home. 
• At a place of residence, renovation ideas include adding 
cascading fountains or feature walls. But when it comes 
to retail store renovation, you need to focus on creating 
the buyer’s journey. 
Maximize Your Small Retail 
Store Space
Here are seven simple and affordable ways to maximize 
your small retail store space.
• Paint an accent wall
• Create window-like effects
• Stay away from a cluttered look
• Think beyond shelving
•  Illuminate your space
• Keep open bookcases as dividers
• Create vertical displays
PAINT AN ACCENT WALL
• If you use a bold colour to paint one wall, it looks larger 
and creates the illusion of receding in space. 
• Moreover, you can use printed wallpaper or fabric to 
include eye-catching textures in your store.
CREATE WINDOW-LIKE EFFECTS
• Windows also make a small space appear larger. You can 
cut window spaces to separate two small rooms and 
create an atmosphere that is more airy and open. 
 STAY AWAY FROM A CLUTTERED LOOK
• How you place your merchandise also makes a significant 
difference to your store’s appearance. Make sure you 
don’t place them too closely. 
• When it comes to the furniture, opt for neutral colours 
and accent them with bright coloured pillows and vases. 
Think Beyond Shelving
• The display of products doesn’t always have to be on 
shelves. Get creative and find other space-saving ways. 
A commercial contractor can suggest ideas to grab the 
attention of store visitors and passers-by.  
Illuminate Your Space
• Every part of your store must have appropriate lighting. If 
most of your store enjoys natural lighting, don’t neglect 
the corner that doesn’t. Use a combination of lamps, 
picture lights, sconces, and track lights to keep the entire 
area lit. 
Keep Open Bookcases As 
Dividers
• An effective way to divide the space in your small retail 
store is by using tall, open bookcases. 
• These not help you to improve the display of products but 
also create an airy feel. 
• Due to the flexibility of open bookcases, you can 
frequently change their position bringing a change to the 
layout. 
Create Vertical Displays
• Hang shelves to place items on different heights. Such a 
display pattern maximizes space and is also visually 
appealing.
