At the same time, some small commodity areas such as chewing gum and paper towels are set up near the cashier, so that customers can buy them at checkout.

In addition, the supermarket also has different functional areas, such as food areas, daily necessities areas, fresh food areas, etc. There are obvious signs between each area, which makes it convenient for customers to quickly find the goods they need. This reasonable layout not only improves the utilization rate of space but also improves the shopping efficiency of customers.

Lighting design creates a warm atmosphere

Lighting is an indispensable element in supermarket design. It not only provides lighting but also creates a unique atmosphere. The supermarket in the picture uses a variety of lighting designs to create a warm and comfortable shopping environment.

The chandelier on the ceiling has a unique shape, which not only provides sufficient lighting but also becomes a landscape of the supermarket. The lighting on the shelves is soft and bright, which can highlight the characteristics of the goods and attract customers' attention. The lighting in the fresh food area uses cool colors to better show the freshness of fresh products.

In addition, supermarkets can also set up some decorative lights in some corners, such as wall lamps, floor lamps, etc., to increase the layering and warmth of the space.
