Many salons struggle with the issue of space. Finding the balance between how to maximize it while creating a compelling atmosphere for guests, that\u2019s also functionally efficient for staff, can be a challenge. Michelle Tang, Founding Partner of Freestyle Systems, offers these tips to help salons make the most of their space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIPS FOR MAXIMIZING A SMALL SPACE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Think Vertical<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Capitalize on the under-utilized areas between the tops of furniture and the ceiling with hanging or high-mounted elements, like the Freestylist<\/a> which suspends blow dryers from the ceiling to save space and eliminate cords. Taking light elements, shelving and cabinets all the way up to the ceiling helps make a room feel larger and regains floor space and adds storage. Hanging artwork and mirrors as high as possible also gives the illusion of a tall ceiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Materials<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Opt for reflective elements such as lucite, white lacquer and glossy tiles. The high shine surfaces act as mirrors reflecting light to help make spaces look more open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furnishing<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 Use fewer larger pieces instead of many smaller ones which can look cluttered and make a room look smaller. Larger pieces can also help hide unsightly elements of a room (radiator, cable box etc.). Try not to push furniture up against the walls, creating space behind it helps make a room look wider than it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lighting<\/span><\/strong> – Good lighting makes or breaks a room and can add warmth and brightness to small and\/or cramped areas. Freestyle Systems light platforms have SpectraLights<\/a>, the first full spectrum Kelvin lights designed specifically for salons, and are ideal for open ceilings. They are available in custom finishes to complement any salon design as a dramatic accent or a sleek \u201cbarely there\u201d look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Edit<\/span><\/strong> – Nothing makes a room feel smaller than clutter. Get creative with storage so everything can be hidden away. Eliminate unsightly cords, clear station surfaces, keep the back bar area tidy and make sure the retail area is designed so it\u2019s beautiful to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
