Have you ever wondered what kind of central island display cabinet can not only highlight new products but also make the store’s flow more smooth? The central island display cabinet in our store might give you the answer.
1. Materials and craftsmanship
We choose high-density solid wood particle board as the base and cover the surface with a layer of matte skin-like paint. This paint not only gives the display cabinet a soft pink color, but also feels as delicate as skin when touched, easily creating a light luxury atmosphere. Meanwhile, the skin-feel paint is particularly scratch-resistant and dirt-resistant, making it very suitable for environments like beauty stores where it is frequently used and requires frequent cleaning.
2. Structure and Function
Take the central island in the “NEW ARRIVAL” area as an example. It adopts a layered design of “open display + closed storage”. The upper layer features open shelves, directly presenting the main products such as new cosmetics and limited edition gift boxes to customers. The middle and lower layers are designed with drawer cabinets featuring invisible handles, which can be used to store inventory or packaging materials, keeping the countertop clean and tidy. The edges of the display cabinets have been rounded and chamfered, which not only prevents customers from accidentally bumping into them but also makes the overall shape more gentle, in line with the tone of the beauty store.
3. Spatial interactivity
The central island display cabinet is not designed as a solitary “island”, but forms a circular circulation line with the surrounding shelves. Customers can browse around from all angles and even stop in front of the display cabinets to touch the products with their own hands, which greatly increases the chances of new products being noticed and tried out.
Wall shelves
There are numerous and diverse beauty store brands. How can we help customers quickly find the brands they want while maintaining a neat and high-end display? The design of the wall shelves precisely solves this problem.
The shelves are equipped with custom metal brackets (mainly matte gold or dark gray, creating a texture contrast with the pink space), and are paired with solid wood shelves of the same color series. The height of the shelves can be freely adjusted. Whether it’s lipstick, eyeshadow palettes, or large bottles of body lotion and skin care gift boxes, they can all find suitable display positions. Some of the shelves have also undergone anti-slip treatment to prevent bottles and jars from slipping off.
Brand logo and lighting integration: Each brand area is equipped with an independent light box-style signboard (such as NARS, SK-II, OLAY, etc.) above it. The signboard is equipped with soft LED lights, which not only clearly demarcate the brand area, making it easy for customers to locate at a glance, but also enhance the brand’s visual presence through lighting, conveying the brand’s value.
Balance display and storage: Under the wall shelves, a closed cabinet is designed (with the same material and color as the display cabinet), which can be used to store spare goods or promotional materials, truly realizing the display logic of “beautiful display in the front and efficient supply in the back”.
Cash register combination
The cashier area is the last stop for customers when they stay in the store and also the finishing touch of the brand image. What kind of cash register can not only meet the settlement function but also maintain the light luxury texture of the space?
Main cash register
The countertop is made of 12mm thick artificial stone, which is wear-resistant, stain-resistant and easy to clean. Even if there is any cosmetic paste or liquid splashed on it, it can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The cabinet body continues the pink skin-like paint process, with simple and smooth lines and no superfluous decoration. However, due to the fineness of the material itself, it appears particularly high-end. The countertop also has an embedded reserved position for the cash register equipment to prevent the equipment from being messy and affecting the appearance. There are transparent acrylic display compartments on both sides, where best-selling samples or promotional experience packs can be placed. This can stimulate customers’ desire to purchase by taking advantage of their “last glance” at checkout.
Matching high cabinets and details
The tall cabinet beside the cash register is also made of pink-toned boards and designed as small storage compartments with concealed handle handles. These compartments can not only store employees’ belongings or packaging materials but also enhance the sense of spatial order through neat grid patterns. Small green plants are placed on the top of the high cabinet, adding a touch of vitality to the pink space. The side of the cabinet is marked with “OPEN” business hours, which is both practical and clear.
Makeup Experience Desk
The “experience” of a beauty store is the key to retaining customers. How can a dedicated makeup experience area enhance its texture and interactivity through furniture design?
Dressing table and mirrors: The dressing table in the “MAKE UP STATION” area is based on pink and paired with a golden metal frame. The light luxury is naturally revealed through the contrast of materials. The countertop is long enough for 2 to 3 people to use simultaneously, and there is a hidden storage drawer at the bottom (for holding makeup try-on tools and makeup remover products). The upper mirror adopts a “LED light strip + golden frame” design. The light strip has uniform and soft light, which can restore the true effect of makeup under natural light. The golden frame echoes the metal elements of the dressing table, enhancing the unity of the style.
Matching seats: High chairs beside the experience table. The seat surface is made of skin-friendly black leather (dirt-resistant and with a good texture), and the legs are golden metal thin frames with slender lines but strong load-bearing capacity. The curvature of the seat fits the curves of the human buttocks and waist, ensuring comfort even during long makeup trials, which makes customers willing to stay and deeply experience the product.
Decorative frame with shaped design
The circular multi-layer decorative frame beside the column is welded with pink metal pipes. Each layer of the circular ring design not only has a sense of design but also can securely display popular items or artistic ornaments. It is not merely a display tool, but more like an “art installation” in the space, attracting customers’ attention and even becoming a check-in spot.
Decorative mirrors and spatial extension
The oval-shaped decorative mirror on the wall features a golden metal carved frame, which is exquisite yet not ostentatious. Mirrors not only facilitate customers to adjust their appearance after trying on makeup, but also, through mirror reflection, visually expand the space, making the store look more transparent and spacious.
