The beauty salon is designed in response to what client mentioned “A different space, unlike all others”.

The use of natural Materials such as wood and stone, elements with clean straight lines, and open concept area, are some features of the modern style. Not a lot of details are used, which gives it an uncluttered clean look and certainly makes the limited space appear bigger.

Less is More. Really.

‏Sometimes more is just too much more and more stuff, more junk, more clutter and more unfruitful work! The approach here is an open concept, uncomplicated forms that function easy and lots of light. The materials that are used can give it personality, while keeping it devoid of too many details, thus making it organized and clutter-free.

‏The beauty is in the simplicity of the salon, all the features working together to open the minimal space and allowing it to look as if it’s larger.

Design in Details

Design in Details

I Optimized the Floor Plan to be functional and beautiful. The floor plan is designed in a way to have a proper equipment placement, good traffic flow, and well-defined areas such as waiting area, changing room, reception desk, manicure and pedicure, hairstyle space, makeup room, separate rooms for massage and facials, color dispensary/storage area, bathroom, and terrace.

Popular floor plans are an open concept with clearly defined zones, or floor plans with individual rooms.

In this Small salon reception desk and waiting area are first things that a person sees upon entering the salon, it is important to make a great first impression,

According to limited space area, the reception desk should be small, with a simple interesting design.

Having a statement wall with a pop of color or artwork can make a beautiful focal point, as well as a sparkly chandelier. The result is an elegant space with function. Here I used a gorgeous contemporary artwork on the wall to add a welcoming and memorable touch to the reception area.

I focused on the Light and designing an Airy space

Feel like you’re stuck in a tight boxy space? A classic way to beat the feeling is to go light. White is actually quite versatile, and it gives you many options.

Going light opens the space and makes it look larger than it is.

I Reflected Light with Mirrors

Small spaces need all the possible light. Mirrors are a salon staple; they reflect light and give more depth and the illusion of a bigger space. There are many types of mirrors to add to your salon; full-length, frameless, and framed mirrors are just a few.

Whichever suits your salon esthetic, it will definitely add beauty and visual depth.

For this purpose, Grooming stations and some dividers are arranged along one wall, featuring tall arched mirrors that run up from the floor.

 

Incredible Result

At the end Planting provides additional touches of greenery and nature.

I advise….

It’s the Details that Count

Every detail Used in your salon should be looked at with spaciousness in mind. Is the color scheme cohesive? Is the layout zoned well? Is the waiting area clutter-free?

All the elements should work together to maximize your salon space.
