Be Brave; Not Beige

An unlikely caption found on Ikea's UK site. In a bid to attract more youth to their Scandinavian designs, Ikea has experimented with bolder colours straying aay from their clean natural wood finishing. We found some really interesting and fun pieces in their recent collection. Enjoy!An unlikely caption found on Ikea's UK site.

Retail Decor

The perfect decor can make all the difference to a retail environment and not to mention to the stores' coffers. There are a couple of brands that pride themselves on their retail space breathing and living the brand -
The Apple Store (Computers, gadgets and accessories, international) and
Illuminations (candles and associated decor, in the US)

Here are some photographs of exteriors of the Apple stores around the world.

Illuminations is more focussed on interior decor to enhance the shoppers experience while browsing inside with aromas and all store lighting with natural candle light!
