10 Salon Interior Design Ideas to Impress Your Clients

In today’s competitive beauty industry, creating a memorable first impression is vital. Salon interiors that balance beauty, functionality, and comfort not only attract clients but also keep them coming back. Here at REM, we understand the importance of well-designed salon furniture that reflects the high standards of your business, ensuring durability, style, and quality in every detail. So, whether you’re updating your salon or setting up a new one, here are ten interior design ideas to inspire and impress.

1. Earthy Tones with Sustainable Furnishings

Sustainable design is more than just a trend; it’s a commitment to creating eco-conscious spaces. Incorporate earthy tones – think soft beiges, deep browns, and warm greens – to create a calming atmosphere. Our REM Earth Range is crafted with sustainable materials, offering a variety of salon, spa, and barber furniture that aligns with environmental values. These pieces not only make your space look elegant but also showcase your commitment to sustainable choices. Choose from our range of eco-friendly wash units, salon chairs, and styling units to create a serene, natural aesthetic that’s both chic and sustainable.

2. Create Consistency with Matching Furniture Sets

Consistency is key when designing an inviting space. At REM, we provide a range of salon furniture that can be perfectly matched to create a cohesive look. For instance, pairing our salon chairs with wash units in matching fabrics or finishes creates visual harmony and a high-end feel. Consider using a consistent laminate or fabric across styling units, reception desks, and even your hood dryers, which we offer in wall-mounted or freestanding options. This cohesive design makes a salon look polished and professional, instantly impressing clients.

3. Add a Personal Touch with Customisable Furniture

Your Salon, Spa or Barbershop’s design should reflect your brand’s personality. With REM, you can customise the look of your furniture by selecting from over twenty fabrics and laminates. Personalising your reception desk, styling chairs, and wash units not only creates a unique look but also establishes a memorable brand identity. Our design team can work with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring that each piece complements your aesthetic and provides a premium experience for your clients. You can also add your logo to any chair with our bespoke embroidery service to add even more personalisation and enhance brand identity.

4. Incorporate Luxurious Seating for a VIP Experience

Seating comfort is crucial in any salon. Clients may spend hours in your salon chair, so investing in high-quality, comfortable seating makes a big difference. Our range of REM salon chairs is designed with ergonomic support, soft cushioning, and stylish finishes. From modern, sleek designs to vintage-inspired pieces, we offer various styles that allow you to create an exclusive experience for your clients.

For spa settings, our massage tables and pedicure chairs with integrated basins ensure both comfort and elegance, helping clients to fully relax during treatments. Additionally, REM barber chairs are ideal for barbershops, where clients appreciate both style and functionality in a chair.

5. Maximise Space with Wall-Mounted Equipment

Space is often at a premium in salons, so wall-mounted equipment like our hood dryers or even styling units can free up valuable floor space. This not only makes the area feel larger but also creates a cleaner look that clients will appreciate. Freestanding options are available as well, providing flexibility depending on your layout needs. When you make clever use of vertical space, your salon feels more open and accessible, enhancing the client experience.

6. Design an Eye-Catching Reception Area

The reception area is the first space clients see, so it’s essential to make a great first impression. Our REM reception desks come in various styles, from minimalist and modern to elegant and ornate. Choose finishes that complement your overall theme and create a welcoming ambiance. Adding stylish seating and a few plants around the reception area can also create a warm, inviting atmosphere.

7. Use Statement Lighting to Enhance Ambiance

Lighting is a critical element in Salon Design, setting the mood and enhancing the client experience. Consider combining ambient, task, and accent lighting to create a comfortable and functional space. LED mirrors from REM can enhance the styling area, providing the perfect lighting for both stylists and clients. For a luxury feel, consider pendant lights above the reception desk or statement lighting in treatment areas, adding a touch of sophistication to your salon.

8. Incorporate Storage Solutions for an Organised Look

An organised salon speaks volumes about your brand’s attention to detail. Our range of beauty trolleys and storage units provides ample space for tools, products, and personal items, ensuring everything has its place. For spas, our spacious beauty trolleys can hold all necessary tools, making treatments smoother for staff. At REM, we understand the importance of storage, which is why our beauty furniture combines style with practicality, keeping your salon looking polished and professional at all times.

9. Provide Privacy in Spa Treatment Rooms

Spa clients often seek privacy and relaxation. Create an intimate and tranquil environment by separating treatment areas with partitions or placing massage tables in private rooms. Our range of spa furniture, including comfortable massage tables and pedicure chairs, helps clients feel at ease and pampered. Customising fabrics and finishes allows you to create a consistent look across all treatment areas, enhancing the calming, luxurious experience that clients expect from a top-quality spa.

10. Invest in Durable, High-Quality British Furniture

A Salon that stands the test of time is built on quality furniture. At REM, we pride ourselves on our commitment to British Manufacturing and quality, with over 100 years in the industry. Our Salon Furniture, from wash units to styling chairs and barbershop stations, is crafted to withstand the daily demands of the beauty industry. By investing in durable, high-quality furniture, you not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of your salon but also demonstrate a commitment to quality service that clients will appreciate and remember.
