The Pulse homewards and accessories show has just finished at Earls Court in London, and although this show is aimed at store buyers the suppliers always create great displays.

The Natural Kitchen – Marylebone – London
The second of this weeks Marylebone stores is the amazing The Natural Kitchen. This store is not only packed full of amazing products but they are beautifully displayed. The store is cleverly designed to look like it hasn’t been designed, but rather naturally growing out of an eclectic mix of fixtures, up cycled furniture and a dash of fun.
Here are a selection of photos of the store and a link to their website.
California Retail: Trends and Details « FRCH | Creative Fuel
On a recent journey to the west coast I saw some interesting trends in retail developments and some well thought out details.
The Lab advertises itself as the anti-mall and focuses on flexible outdoor areas for the community, where store spaces blend together and people congregate and socialise. The bricks and mortar stores and restaurants share the environment with several retro teardrop style trailers that have been beautifully restored as rolling pop-up shops. The variety of formats and carefully selected merchandise create a wonderfully organic shopping experience that is filled with surprises.
