FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Designing and furnishing a retail space always raises many questions.
When is it worth involving a professional? When is design planning essential, when is custom manufacturing justified, and what does store fit-out actually mean in practice?
On this page, we have gathered the questions our clients most frequently ask when planning and implementing their store interiors.
The answers are intended to make the process more transparent, support informed decision-making, and demonstrate how Ama Shop helps create retail spaces that are commercially successful, well-functioning, and sustainable in the long term.
What are the most common mistakes business owners make when fitting out a store?
The most common mistake is starting without a comprehensive store design concept and cost analysis, and instead selecting furnishings based on personal preferences or solutions seen elsewhere. In these cases, different store fitting systems are often not compared, and their advantages and limitations are not properly evaluated, which can later lead to functional and financial compromises. In many cases, the lack of upfront planning results in costly modifications, inefficient use of space, and a weaker overall customer experience.
You can read more about the principles of well-planned store design and our complete process on our Shopfittingservices page.
When is it worth involving a store fitting expert?
Ideally, already at the very beginning of the planning phase of a new store opening or refurbishment. Involving an expert helps explore the available options, avoid poor space-planning decisions, and develop solutions that support the store’s long-term performance and return on investment.
The role and steps of professional planning in a successful project are explained in detail on our Shopfitting design page.
How does store layout influence customer decisions?
The interior layout of a store guides customer movement, attention, and purchasing decisions. A well-designed space supports intuitive orientation, highlights key products, and increases the likelihood of impulse purchases, while creating a pleasant and trust-building environment.
References projects illustrate how modular systems can be successfully combined with custom-designed elements.
What trends define modern store design?
Modern store design increasingly focuses on modular and flexible systems, clean and timeless aesthetics, and the use of sustainable materials. The goal is not to follow short-lived trends, but to create solutions that work effectively in the long term.
How does Ama Shop support the success of a new store from the concept stage?
Ama Shop supports clients already at the concept and early planning stage to ensure that the store is not only visually appealing, but also commercially effective. We take into account the brand identity, target audience, sales objectives, and spatial characteristics, so decisions are made consciously from the very first steps.
We coordinate the entire process – from concept development to implementation – Project Management service page.
How does well-considered store design support a positive customer experience?
A thoughtfully designed store guides customers naturally through the space, makes orientation easier, and creates a comfortable and safe environment. A well-structured layout reduces the feeling of overcrowding, highlights key products, and encourages longer in-store dwell time, directly influencing purchasing decisions and overall perception.
You can find more details about the role of well-planned shopfitting and its impact on customer experience on our Shopfitting services page.
Why is thorough store design planning important before implementation?
Proper planning ensures that the store works well functionally, visually, and economically. During the planning phase, it becomes clear how the available space can be used efficiently, which fitting systems best support the store’s operation, and what costs can be expected—helping to avoid expensive changes later on.
The shopfitting design process and its benefits are explained in detail on our Shopfitting design page.
What information is required to plan a store fit-out?
Planning requires the store’s floor area and layout, the planned product range, the target audience, and operational requirements. Brand identity, positioning, and the intended customer experience are also key inputs.
Are 3D visualizations created during the design process?
Yes, Ama Shop prepares 3D visualizations during the design phase, allowing clients to see the final appearance of the store in advance. These visuals help refine proportions, materials, and layouts before production and installation.
You can read more about the benefits and process of visual planning on our 3D visual design page.
How flexible is the design during the process?
The design process is flexible, and plans can be refined based on feedback. Adjustments are possible during the planning phase to ensure the final solution fully supports the store’s operation and the client’s expectations.
Flexibility during the planning and approval process is ensured through our Project Management service.
What is a modular store fitting system?
A modular store fitting system consists of pre-designed elements that can be flexibly combined and adapted to the store’s needs. These systems allow for easy reconfiguration, expansion, or rearrangement over time.
Our modular shopfitting systems and their application possibilities are presented in detail on our Products page.
What are the advantages of modular shelving systems?
The main advantages are flexibility and long-term return on investment. Modular systems adapt easily to changing product assortments and provide a consistent, well-organized appearance.
When is it worth designing bespoke furniture?
Bespoke furniture is recommended when the store’s operation, product range, or brand identity requires specific solutions. This is particularly important for service counters, which should support efficient sales processes, fast service, staff ergonomics, and brand expression.
At the same time, modular elements can also be made unique by aligning materials, colors, and details with the brand identity.
More information about tailor-made planning solutions can be found on our Shopfitting design oldalunkon talál további információkat.
Can modular elements be combined with bespoke solutions?
Yes, modular systems can be effectively combined with bespoke furniture and elements. This approach delivers a cost-efficient yet visually distinctive result.
