Euroshop Edit – Day One

Hi Everone, as anyone who has visited this show will know its vast, over 18 huge halls covering everything from mannequins to carrier bags. I’ve selected some snaps of great ideas seen on our first day mostly covering visual merchandising features and mannequins. 

More to follow tomorrow.



Conran Store Spring 2017 – Michelin House London

I love popping into The Conran shop when I’m in London, there is always so much inspiration to be found.

This spring they have turned their windows into rooms by adding in a sub shopfront as you walk through the doors, it also acts as a backdrop to the windows.

I have noticed a trend building over the last year for using Critall style metal window frames in many stores. But conran have also added simple blocks of colour to some of theirs, i saw  lots of stores using colour blocking whilst looking around London.

Conran have continued the colour blocking theme inside their store, using it to great effect on walls, architectural features and fixtures.

They are using it for way finding as well, helping to lead customers on their journey through the store.

I love this trend/style wall they have created in their furniture area, it really stands out and offers customers great simple information.

Love the clash of bright ribbons against this royal blue wall.

Where they do not have a surface to paint they have been inventive and used plants to add the colour.

Striking Joseph windows Brompton London

Saw these very striking windows in Joseph in the Brompton area in London, love the simple use of colour and the 3D globe made of acrylic sheets, the mannequin leaning on the window glass looks great too.

Great Crate Ideas

Here at International Visual we love recycling and up cycling furniture and props to help make businesses look great. We find ourselves using crates on lots of occasions as they are so versatile, whether rustic & old, antique or vintage inspired new ones there are lots of great uses for them in the world of retail and display.

Here are just a few examples of how versatile they are, from being used as risers on tables, creating wall shelving units to hanging them from ceilings to create great visual displays.

Crates can make great wall fixture and help to make the product stand out as shown here.

They work for lots of product types and fit spaces big and small.

Here they have been used under a window with a few used on the window ledge as a feature.

They make great risers on tables.

and under tables.

You can even make mid floor fixtures out of them, here we have stacked them on a simple wooden plinth as a drinks feature unit.

They work really well for drinks, here you can see them wrapped around a floor column for wine and beer.

In this store they were used in a tight corner to create a visual feature for wine and beer.

In this store they were placed in a gap between two fridges for a red wine feature.

They can be hung from ceilings, shown here above a food display with a blackboard attached to sign the product.

Here they were used above a jam table, they were eventually planted with strawberry plants to add even more visual theatre.

They are great for garden centres, used here on a table for a herb themed display.

One of our clients used them as bedside tables in her glamping tents.

They added their brand name to the top of the crates .

Our crates are new but made to look vintage, they are stained in a light brown colour. We can make crates in lots of sizes, email us for a quote.

Visual Merchandising Expertise for Farm Food Stores

Here at International Visual we spend our days making shops look good and getting them to perform better. We specialise in giving shops ‘make-overs’. Our input can make a visible difference in a very short timescale and often without the need for expensive shop fitting.

We source and supply any props and kit required and then get to work on improving your shop. We get our sleeves rolled up and physically work with you and your team to make the most of your store.

We have worked closely with several Farm Shops recently to create the right environment and promote their produce in the right way to get those extra sales. The photographs show the results and we take pride that we also get invited back because our ideas work!

Add visual theatre to your perimeter walls that reinforce your key messages and provide information, customers will read these whilst waiting to be served.

 

Add visual theatre to the exterior of your store by using visual props that make a statement and attract attention.

Use visual propping and related products to enhance a key product story like we have done here with this egg story.

Use crates within fixture groups to add interest.

Layer table groupings with visual props to add interest

Crates are so versatile, they work really well for drinks

And for lots of other product types

Add in other visual features , here we have used a tree trunk to create a kiddies toy area

You can use lots of props to crate a great display

Small steps, baskets & trays work well

This wine area has been brought to life using a ladder shelving unit and the huge graphic of a wine cellar

Landscape your fixtures starting low at the front leading up to perimeter displays on your walls

Old wardrobes painted can look amazing as wall perimeter fixtures

Balance hard and soft products over your display , but make sure they are related by end use or theme

This modern table has been given a new look by using ladders, trucks and trays

Hands and Heads

Nice use of articulated hands in a boutique in Heathrow’s T5, notice how they have decorated one of the hands with the flower design from the front handbag.

 

Invisible thread chandelier

Love this chandelier in Heathrow’s T5, it’s all hung from invisible wire, it must have taken ages to get the shape perfect.
