Nothing improves the appearance of a small salon like the decor. In order to attract clientele, your salon has to create an amazing first impression. It is very possible to achieve this by employing various décor ideas listed here.
1. A tabletop water fountain
A tabletop water fountain is perfect for your salon, home or office. It complements a relaxing space to the maximum. Imagine sitting in a relaxing Massage Chair while listening to the tranquil sounds of flowing water.

2. Choosing impactful art
There is no doubt that blank walls are plain boring! Long walls should be covered with artwork like paintings, framed photos, posters or mix all.
All this art should be eye catchy and reflect your personal style. Art defines a space. It will draw more customers and you will love when they start asking about the art on the walls of your salon.
Murals, tasteful prints, and posters add mood and character to the salon.
3. Using plants for a sophisticated look
A salon looks classy and relaxing with plants. Taking your interior design seriously will encourage your clients to take photos of your salon and share them with their followers. This will attract more clients.
Make sure you place plants where they will catch more attention such as the reception area. If it is possible, you can invest in air purifying plants. They eliminate salon air pollutants such as:
- Formaldehyde found in Keratin treatments and some nail polish.
- Ammonia found in hair colors, floor waxes, just to mention a few
- Trichloroethylene found in lace wig glue, etc.
Some of the air purifying plants include Peace lily, Aloe Vera, English Ivy, Azaleas, Weeping fig, bamboo palm, just to mention a few. Many of these plants are easy to maintain and others can survive with little or no sunlight such as azaleas.
Do not forget that the plants would look beautiful too in your small salon.
4.More natural light
Keep everything looking bright with natural light. It will help your staff see the clients clearly hence improving the quality of their work. In addition, natural light is a mood booster.
Bright light will help your clients look good in a mirror. It will render color properly. You may also consider using natural light lamps if you are not getting enough light from the sun. Wide windows and curtains absorb natural light as opposed to dark and heavy curtains.
5. Great use of color
Color can make a salon look smaller or bigger. White paint gives the illusion of a large space. It is also the color of light.
A salon must look warm and comfortable. It must be colorful and have a lively décor. Bright colors give vibrancy to a salon.
6. Consider all spaces
Windows are the most visible aspect of your salon. In that case, use them to show off your salon. You can have several attractive photos showing off your best work, special offers you might have or even a large display of flowers or art.
An appealing and attractive window display on your outdoor space allows people to notice you easily, talk about you and most probably become customers in the future.
7. Use of Mirrors
Gigantic lights and mirrors can be used to make a statement in your salon. This works well where a salon has a high ceiling. Also, they can make your small salon feel bigger. This is a tip that has been used since ancient times.
Try to place the mirrors near natural light for the best effect.
8. Your furniture doesn’t have to be as small as your reception area
One full-size- sofa may be used instead of breaking the reception area into different mini-zones. The furniture doesn’t have to be small just because the space is small. However, caution has to be taken to ensure that it doesn’t occupy the whole space or spread to other places.
