When placing the furniture in the shop window, it’s vital to take into account some parameters regarding the order, proportion, and space.

  • It’s important to display those items that you consider most attractive, or that you want to sell first. If there happens to be any interesting or new furniture in stock, don’t hesitate to display it.
  • Try to establish the proportion and balance. If there’s a large foreground sofa in the center, complement it with a small bedside table, as if it were directly related to the sofa.
  • On one side you can also place a bookcase, display cabinet or tall cabinet. This will certainly show a distinction of heights, making the area look harmonious.
  • If you wish to include lighting, floor lamps should be secondary and placed next to the main item. You can do this with a table lamp as well.

The main purpose of this kind of display is to represent an ideal room and give an idea of how the items would look like in a proper home. Potential clients should automatically picture the objects they’d like to buy in their own homes.

In a decor store where vases, bowls, mirrors, coat hangers, figures, paintings, etc. are sold, setting up a shop window plays a fundamental role. After all, this is the principal way the store will attract clients.

  • Have two areas – a lower one, where objects are placed on the floor of the shop window and a higher one, at the average height of the clients.
  • As in the furniture store, place the items that may be more interesting or that you want to sell first in a strategic way.
  • You can mix products of different styles and types. Of course, there must be a separation between them to avoid the shop window looking saturated.
  • Another option is to focus on one type of product only. If the store has several shop windows, then select and distribute the items according to a specific group.
