Do You Really Know Design A Bakery Store?

Practical wall cabinet design

(I) Why do we have to design wall cabinets?

Wall cabinets are so important in dessert bakeries! First of all, they can make full use of the wall space. The originally empty wall can be instantly transformed into a "storage + display expert" with a wall cabinet.

Whether it is a dazzling array of bread, exquisite desserts, or various packaged snacks and peripherals (such as customized coffee cups, baking books, etc.), they can all be neatly placed. Moreover, as soon as customers enter the door, their eyes will naturally scan the wall cabinet, and our products will be clearly displayed, which greatly increases sales opportunities!

(II) What are the characteristics of wall cabinets?

Looking at the wall cabinets in the design drawings, have you found that they are "super rich in layers"!

There are open grids, where you can directly see the neatly arranged bread and canned drinks inside; there are also cabinet doors decorated with small blackboards, like the ones in the picture with literary sentences, which instantly add a bit of "literary style" to the store.

In addition, the material and color of the wall cabinet are also very particular. This set of designs mainly uses white, which looks clean and high-end, and is particularly in line with the warmth and exquisiteness pursued by the dessert bakery.

Moreover, there is a "light trick" hidden on the wall cabinet. Look at those grids, the faint light shines on the bread, doesn't it make the bread look more tempting and more appetizing? This is to use light to highlight the product and attract customers' attention!

(III) What is the design structure of the wall cabinet?

As can be seen from the picture, the wall cabinet is a "combined structure".

There are multiple layers of open shelves, which are convenient for placing some breads that need ventilation and display, such as baguettes and European breads. Customers can see the texture and color of the bread at a glance.

There are also parts with cabinet doors, which can hide some products that need to be dust-proof or are not promoted for the time being, such as packaged cookie gift boxes, stored raw materials, etc., and they are neat and beautiful when the door is closed.

Moreover, the connection between the wall cabinet and the wall is very clever. Some places are decorated with Roman columns (like in the first picture), which makes the store look "small exquisite, small retro" all of a sudden, turning the ordinary wall cabinet into a highly decorative "background wall", which is beautiful for taking photos and checking in, and customers can also promote our store for free by posting to Moments!

There is also an area reserved for brand display on the top, so that customers can find their favorite products more conveniently and quickly when selecting products.

The counter of the bakery store

(I) How to design the counter structure?

Looking at these design drawings, the counter is not made casually!

It is a combination of "semi-open + display function" structure.

• The front is transparent glass or low fence, which allows customers to clearly see the freshly baked bread and cut cakes placed inside, and even see the process of the clerk packaging and plating, which increases the sense of interaction and freshness.
• Under the counter is generally a storage space, which can be used to store cash register equipment, packaging materials, small tools, etc., so that the clerk can operate smoothly and conveniently. Moreover, the length and shape of the counter are also particular. For example, the first picture has an arc shape, which can accommodate more customers to check out and select at the same time, and also makes the store space more flexible; the following pictures have a straight line shape, which is simple and generous, suitable for stores with a smaller space or pursuing a simple style.

(II) What are the tips for color matching?

The colors of the counters in this group of designs are mainly "harmonious and eye-catching"! Most of them use light colors, such as beige and light gray, which blend well with the overall white and warm tones of the store and do not appear abrupt.

However, dark lines (such as black and dark brown) are used for decoration on the edges or parts, which immediately outlines the outline of the counter and turns it from a "background board" into a visual focus. For example, the counter in the first picture has a light gray main body and a dark glass fence frame, which not only highlights the counter area, but also echoes the colors of the chandelier above and the surrounding wall cabinets. The whole space is particularly coordinated and customers can feel comfortable shopping.

Why is the bread rack located by the window?

• First of all, there is natural light near the window! The sunlight shines on the bread, which can clearly illuminate the color and texture of the bread. The golden and crispy crust and the soft inside are all "magnified" by the sunlight to show to customers, which is more natural and tempting than light. When customers pass by the window or sit in the store, they will be attracted to the combination of sunlight and bread through the glass.
• Secondly, the window position is well ventilated! Bread, especially freshly baked, has a little heat and moisture. Placing it near the window can quickly dissipate with the help of natural wind, so that the bread can maintain the best taste and appearance. Moreover, good ventilation is not easy to breed bacteria, making our bread fresher and healthier, and customers can eat it with confidence.
• In addition, the window area can be arranged as a place for taking pictures! The sunlight shines through the window on the shelf full of bread. Customers stand next to it to take pictures. The background is beautiful and full of life. When posting on social platforms, it is equivalent to promoting the store for free.

How to create an atmosphere with the overall color and decoration of the store?

(I) Color matching - warm and high-end

The color of the whole bakery store is mainly "light color + warm tone". The floor is made of light beige tiles, which looks clean, bright and easy to clean (crumbs, stains, etc. can be seen at a glance).

The wall is light gray or white, simple and generous, giving people a feeling of "high-end but not cold". Then, in the product display area and decorative details, warm brown and gold tones are incorporated, such as the wooden shelves in the wall cabinets, the metal decorations of the chandeliers, and the golden color of the bread itself, which makes the store warm all of a sudden, especially in line with the "healing and warm" positioning of the dessert bakery.

(II) Decorative details - exquisite and stylish

In addition to the color, the decoration is also amazing! Look at those chandeliers, the design sense is full, some are like artistic metal vines, and some are simple and gorgeous crystal models. Once hung on the ceiling, the store's grade is instantly improved, and it can also become a "background artifact" for customers to take photos.

There are also small blackboard decorations on the wall cabinets, where you can write some literary sentences, recommended bread of the day, discount activities, etc. It is both practical and stylish, adding "handwritten warmth" to the store.

In addition, the Roman columns and arched stainless steel embellishments in the store give the entire space a retro and elegant feel.
