But sometimes, it\u2019s not only about what the retail or the treatment rooms look like. In fact, at times, it\u2019s all about the size of space! Working with a little space can be hard as it will often seem crowded and overstuffed.&nbsp;Your salon\u2019s interior decor should take into consideration the type of room you have.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Does Your Salon Reception Have A Long Wall?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If this is your case, we have two suggestions: choose the right art and carefully select your wall paint colour.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choosing An Impactful Art Piece Over A Full Wall<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to long walls, the common dilemma is whether you should put up plenty or almost no pieces of art to make it work. If you are going for a piece of artwork, then the main quesiton is, what type: framed photos, paintings or even posters. Covering up your wall with these can seem like a good idea, but it\u2019s not always the best. On some occasions (and considering your reception area\u2019s style) a single statement piece is what will work best for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Also, choosing simple shaped patterns will help you create a sophisticated look that feels full size, but not overwhelmingly charged. Yes, even in a small space.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48706\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/papier-peint-artwall3b.jpg\" alt=\"bright-salon-decor-ideas-spaciousness\" width=\"500\" height=\"163\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/papier-peint-artwall3b.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/papier-peint-artwall3b-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/papier-peint-artwall3b-768x251.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48702\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/blue-abstract-art-83.jpg\" alt=\"bright-salon-decor-ideas-spaciousness\" width=\"360\" height=\"260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/blue-abstract-art-83.jpg 360w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150946\/blue-abstract-art-83-300x217.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 360px) 100vw, 360px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Wall Paint Color: The Lighter The Better<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This second&nbsp;salon decor trick is quite simple: the lighter, the better.

By this, I mean use vertical space rather than trying to get significant impact overusing the area. You can do this with plants, bringing a sweet, lively touch to your interior design. Additionally, tall plants &#8211; for example, a fiddle-leaf fig &#8211; give a sophisticated look to your reception area without interfering with the flow of the space.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48694\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150947\/Salon-Hanging-Plants.jpg\" alt=\"bright-salon-decor-ideas-spaciousness\" width=\"500\" height=\"748\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150947\/Salon-Hanging-Plants.jpg 564w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150947\/Salon-Hanging-Plants-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Balancing Your Room Aesthetics With Over Scaled &amp; Miniature&nbsp;Lamps<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Most people have a natural tendency to try and shrink everything to make one forget about a low ceiling. Unfortunately, this tactic can make the final look even tighter. Instead, try using lights and lamps. Balance things out with some very tall items and others, close to floor level options too (globe lights on the floor, for example).<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-48678\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Floor-lamps.jpg\" alt=\"bright-salon-decor-ideas-spaciousness\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Floor-lamps.jpg 500w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Floor-lamps-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Floor-lamps-300x300.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Hair &amp; Beauty Salon Decor Tricks For Narrow Reception Areas<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Natural Light Can&nbsp;Add A Feeling Of Spaciousness<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Often overlooked, an abundance of light (especially natural) will add a sense of spaciousness in your reception.

Just because your space is small doesn\u2019t mean your furniture has to be. Just ensure it doesn\u2019t take up the whole room or flood into other spaces.&nbsp;<\/span><strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A long sofa in your narrow reception area can make for an easy journey for clients passing by each other to reach the desk or to sit down and wait for their treatment or service.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-48674\" src=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Big-Piece-Furniture.jpg\" alt=\"bright-salon-decor-ideas-spaciousness\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Big-Piece-Furniture.jpg 530w, https:\/\/d2dfxqxblmblx4.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/18150948\/Big-Piece-Furniture-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choose The Right Accompanying Furniture<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let\u2019s take the coffee table as an example. If your reception area is filled with impressive seating space, you might want to look for coffee tables that are visually more subtle, or in an unexpected shape (round, triangular, oval).&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ideally, you want a coffee table that isn\u2019t more than an inch lower than the seats of your sofas and chairs. Any accompanying furniture you decide to add to your hair and beauty salon decor should be well thought out and chosen in accordance to your bigger pieces.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Of course, depending on your budget, time and actual space, you might not be able to get these all ticked off. But if you do feel like your reception area is a little bit tight, maybe try one of these options.
