What's important in designing an art gallery/frame shop front end? Can you suggest a checklist of attributes? Here's a start - add your ideas:
1. Versatile displays that can be moved and/or modified to suit certain sizes & kinds of art & objects (such as sculptures)
2. Neutral wall colors? Strong wall colors?
3. Clear identity - when visitors step in, they immediately realize they're in a gallery and frame shop. Avoid mixed messages about purpose of the business. I.E., don't display pet collars, motorcycle parts or food items in the gallery, even if those things are available for sale.
4. Moulding samples neatly displayed in plain sight - sliding panels? How many samples?
5. Hard floor covering, neutral color and easy to clean.
6. Design table(s) with generously-sized, flat, smooth spaces to lay out projects, set up to remain uncluttered between customers.
