How to Design Your Own Perfume Store

A perfume store is similar to a beauty or makeup boutique, but with an emphasis on selling fragrances. A good design for a perfume store would be one that reflects your personality and signature scent. If you like sweet, floral fragrances, design a store that is playful and fun. If you like strong, spicy scents, design a store with modern furniture to give it an edge. Perfume stores are generally not held to strict design standards, so you can be as creative as you like.

Instructions

1. Choose a color theme for your perfume store. The colors you pick should communicate the general tone of your store. Light pastel colors are soothing and inviting, bright colors are whimsical and playful, dark colors are more edgy. Start sketching a general design of your store. Use colored pencils or markers to put in color details.

2. Add furniture such as plush couches, wooden chairs and circular tables for showcasing new perfumes. Furniture is an important element of style. It creates a cozy yet luxurious atmosphere, inspiring customers to make themselves at home while trying different scents.

3. Add lighting fixtures that complement the furniture and color theme. If your furniture is more modern, choose more modern light fixtures such as individual lightbulbs hanging from wires. If your furniture is more feminine, put up smaller chandeliers or Tiffany lamps.

4. Add shelves for storing the fragrances in your perfume store. You can choose from glass shelves, tangram shelves, wooden wall shelves and folding shelves. Pick shelves that correspond with the general tone that you set up with the color theme in Step 1.

5. Set aside a section where customers can sample perfumes and mix their own personal scents.

Tips & Warnings

• Keep the floors bare. A carpet or rug is bound to get soiled quickly. Hang decorative tiles, mirrors or pictures from the walls to spice things up.
