We are Ripple

From Store Interior Design to Installation
Ripple’s creative retail design does much more for a business than simply producing an aesthetically pleasing space. Interior retail design should translate a brand’s environment into an immersive experience, engaging the customer through the purchase cycle. When this is done effectively, it will echo the brand’s values and link to its other touch points such as social media and advertising creating a seamless route for the customer journey.
And excellence in retail design is not just about aesthetics, although that is of course important. The strategy behind any concept is vital, and key to that are the brand legacy and vision, product and service offer, and efficiency of layout and merchandising principles to enhance the customer experience and optimise operational efficiency. We all constantly experience change, and in retail we see shifts in consumer demands and expectations, so any retail design strategy needs to take this into account to create a positive brand experience.
Additionally, you want to keep it fresh, so for product and range reviews, seasonal change, promotions and the need to maintain customer interest, you scheme must be adaptable. This couples with futureproofing to ensure you maximise return on investment whilst being considerate to the planet

Retail interior design involves the planning and design of the layout and looks of the commercial interiors of shops, stores, showrooms and other retail outlets. The purpose of this practice is to ensure that the interior space of every retail outlet appeals to the associated organisation’s customer base. Retail interior designers must ensure that each space is attractive and allows for straightforward and safe navigation and interaction in order to deliver a great customer experience and drive sales performance.
Every shop design process is different, as all retail environments serve their own unique purpose and cater to their own individual consumers. As a starting point, the team of retail store planning specialists at Ripple will take great care to consult with each and every client to find out their aims and ambitions, learn about their company’s brand identity and identify the key demands of their customer base. From there, the design process goes through a range of steps – all unique to the specific project, from sketches and mood boards to creative and technical planning, design, manufacturing and installation.
Through in-depth conversation and consultation with the client, as leading retail specialists, our expert retail interior designers will learn of the aesthetic “personality” of the brand, along with the typical customer experience and purchase or engagement cycle of the company, this becomes the pivotal starting point for a project.
They will then work to find ways in which the look of a certain retail space – as well as its layout, in-store touch points and merchandising principles, can be best adapted to serve these principles and reflect that personality in a way that will best appeal to the consumer.
The resulting design concept will be expertly informed by this process.
An expert approach to the design of retail environments should first take into account the practical and interactive requirements of every project.
A design team should take into account both the physical customer journey through each space and the brand experience that this will provide designing commercial interiors.
It is also vital to consider consumer demographics – in particular, those of the target audience of the company in question – when working on commercial design.
From favoured aesthetics to preferred methods of interaction with the retail experience, customers should always lead the shop design process.
