This children's shoe store in Barcelona uses floor-to-ceiling tiles to create an orderly, geometric feeling. The whiteout space was designed by Nabito Architects and has a calming consistent flow to it due to the uniform nature of the floors, walls and displays.
The children's shoe store was conceived around the concept of a child's notebook and features cubes carved into the wall to serve as further merchandising space. The interior features teal pastel color in between the tiles that is highlighted in some of the decorative accents around the space.
By creating a space that appeals to children, brands and merchandisers are investing in creating a space in which parents don't need to worry about entertaining their kids as they shop.
