I remember the owner looking for interior designers to design a store interior for DT. I thought I'd give it a try, and here it is. This is just a mock design though--if I were to design, like the title says.
Here's the floor plan of a sample DT boutique store.
Starting from the leftmost top: the store manager's office, the white hollow boxes are the stocks storage spaces, the pantry (with the red wall), the washroom (with charcoal gray beehive tile patterns, sorry Bizzazza. JK). On the store area: three cubicles for the fiiting room, the cashiers' stations, poles for hanging clothes, movable shelves, and the white platforms at the corner store is the display area (either for mannequins or whatever).
Here's the facade.
Rightmost corner of the store with the metal poles where clothes will be hanged and some of the movable metal furnishings where garments may be displayed. Panel wood flooring and wall to create a kind of home-y ambiance. I decided not to add a DT signage on the wall so that if there's an event, the wood paneled wall can be used as backdrop.
Leftmost side of the store with the metal poles and movable metal furnishings. (Add display shelves as needed.) The white part are for mannequins of displaying the season's new designs. I decided to put those metal poles against the windows so that passers-by may see the kind of clothes that DT offers.
Three cubicles for the fitting rooms with mirrors. They will be covered by a long dark red fabric hanging from the metal pole on the top of each fitting room.
The cashiers' area with the white DT signage against a charcoal gray background. A total of only two (2) POS machines will be installed in this area.
The employees' pantry (the one with the red wall) where two (2) stools will be supplied. And a washroom (toilet bowl, sink, and faucet not seen) tile with charcoal gray beehive tiles. Also seen in the picture is the store's back entrance---for deliveries.
The white cabinets are storage area for stocks and the gray cabinets below are employee lockers.
The lined cabinets lead to the store manager's office.
Where there are two installed tables and cabinets. Two stools will be provided for seating.
And one window, looking outside the store.
A window on the door looks outside; exposing the storage area, washroom, and pantry.
I decided to use charcoal gray and not black because the black may be too extreme to use as a color palette for a store. Plus, greys are by nature elegant and classy--next to black and gold. Used a kind of bloody red to contrast with the gray. And used wood panels for the home-y and grounded interior. Plus, I associate wood panels with DT, somehow. Oh and the facade walkway is made of charcoal gray granite stone or something. hehe
The layout and interior is really very basic and simple because I see DT clothes as straightforward, simple, and yet makes an impact on a man's style.For more information about the brand visit http://www.deanandtrent.com/.
