First impressions are everything when it comes to retail. A well-designed commercial space makes all the difference in how customers see your brand, how long they stay, and whether they return.
Many business owners focus on achieving a certain look— minimalist, vintage, retro, scandinavian, and more. But beyond that, one element that is often overlooked is color—where the right color goes in the store, or whether it’s even the right choice at all.
Green Valley Painting provides expert color consultation services for retail spaces to help you find that perfect balance between function and beauty. Let’s go more into detail.

They need to be painted on the right corners.
For instance, warm tones like red are better suited for fast-paced areas so it encourages customers to make quick decisions or have a sense of urgency. On the other hand, blues and greens evoke more calm senses. Here is a quick example of the different colors and emotions they convey:
