Pegboard walls are made using hardboard. Small holes are drilled into the hardboard during production. The holes enable you to fit accessoires d'affichage like hooks or pegs into the pegboard wall. You can then use the hooks or pegs to hang items that you would like to display.

Pegboard wall displays may be ideal if you sell small to medium-sized products that you can hang. Examples of such products include phone accessories, tools, or even shoes like sandals. 

This type of store wall display is also beneficial because it is quite flexible. You can use it for a variety of products and easily rearrange the display for different marketing campaigns. 

However, always ensure that the pegboard is well-mounted and avoid overloading or overcrowding it with products. Aim for quality hardboard as well for maximum durability.

Gridwall Panels

Gridwall panels are made of thin metal rods. The rods are positioned in such a way that they create small square holes between them. When you mount a grid wall panel, you can use the holes to hang different products and create a merchandise wall display.

Notably, grid wall panels:

• Have a higher weight-bearing capacity as they are made of metal.
• Make hanging products easier as the grids can hold a variety of accessories from hooks to small hanging rods.
• Offer great flexibility as some designs can be used both as a wall display and free-standing display unit.

The best approach is to first design your grid wall panel display and then proceed to either buy or custom-source grid wall panels to execute your vision.

Floating Shelves

Floating shelves are planks of wood, acrylic, or metal that you affix to a wall and use to showcase products. They usually have provisions on the bottom side where you can attach their corresponding screws or other accessories to affix them to the wall. Such holes or slots are, however, small and at the edge; which gives this type of wall display a refined, minimalist, ‘floating’ appearance.

Floating shelves are ideal for displaying a wide array of products such as shoes, handbags, bric-a-brac, and much more. They also make it easy to create a unique display because you can arrange the floating shelves in any design you prefer or that is suitable for your space.

The key, nonetheless, is to aim for order and symmetry. They make floating shelf displays more eye-catching and present a more pleasant shopping experience for shoppers.

Slat Wall Displays

A slat wall is a panel made of wood, metal, or a combination of both. The panel has horizontal grooves where you can affix hooks, hanging rods, and similar accessories to hang products for display.

Wooden slat walls are a great pick if you would like to infuse some warmth or natural elements into your store. However, if you prefer a metal slatwall, you can work with a retail display manufacturer to customize it. Consider finish options like powder coating or melamine slats.

Consider adding accessories like tasteful lighting along some slats. This is one of the trending slatwall display ideas because it significantly livens up the display and makes products stand out remarkably well.

Wall-mounted Cabinets

Cabinets are an ideal way to showcase:

• High-value products e.g jewelry
• Sensitive products e.g specific medications that require restricted access
• High-risk products that are susceptible to theft 

Wall-mounting display cabinets can help you save floor space so that you can stock more products or create a more pleasant retail setup. 

However, strive to keep the cabinets at the eye level of most shoppers. It ensures that they see the products you are displaying. 

Organize each cabinet carefully such that each product is visible to customers. Shelving and other display accessories, like jewelry stands, can help you with this because they give each item its place.

Finally, lighting is a useful touch when it comes to wall-mounted display cabinets. It highlights the products to entice customers and makes it easier for customers to spot what they need.

Tiered Wall Displays

A tiered wall display is, in essence, a wall-mounted shelf. It can be made of acrylic, metal, wood, or a combination of different materials. 

Tiered étagères murales offer lots of display space. It is thus one of the most popular small shop display ideas. 

Moreover, shelves simplify product arrangement and you can choose which products to prioritize for maximum effect. You can also get the most out of this display by customizing it such that the shelves are arranged in interesting ways for a dramatic display effect.

Artistic Merchandise Wall Displays

Some businesses use art to add ambiance or create a unique vibe in their stores. This concept works just like that. The only difference is that instead of using typical art pieces, you instead use the product you want to display as art.

For example, if you sell honey, you can customize a wall display that allows you to display honey jars in the shape of a bee or a honeycomb. The infamous shoe chandelier is another great example of how to achieve art with products in your store.

In a nutshell, try and come up with creative retail wall display ideas that double up as art to add a fun twist to your displays and attract shoppers.

Wall Murals

Commissioning a mural for your wall display creates a focal point in your store that naturally draws the attention of shoppers. Such installations also tend to draw foot traffic to a store as more shoppers learn of them through social media and get curious to stop by and see them.

Ideally, the mural concept should have some correlation to the products you plan to display. Alternatively, you can choose a mural that showcases your brand colors. 

If you display any products on the mural wall, try and find a way to add some contrast so that the products stand out. Using colors on the mural that contrast with the product packaging, for instance, allows the beauty of the mural to shine while also letting the product display enjoy its spotlight.

Vertical Gardens

Greenery is a superb way to make the interior of a store more vibrant and welcoming. It adds a burst of color and also stands out because of the way it breaks the monotony of typical indoor elements like wood, metal, or cement.

Vertical gardens are one of the wall display ideas that deliver the benefits of greenery. You can:

• Source artificial foliage or greenery and mount it on a wall.
• Use natural greenery installations to create the wall display.
• Mount a shelf wall display and guild/decorate it with greenery to create a vertical garden display.

All of these options allow you to suspend the vertical garden on a wall and save space just like any other retail wall display idea.

If you choose to mount the greenery on the wall, you can install different wall displays and use it as a backdrop. However, if you use the shelf approach, the greenery forms part of the wall display but the shelving still provides a mole room to showcase your products.

Interactive Digital Wall Displays

Interactive screens make for an interesting and effective wall display. You can use them to provide customers with more information about your brand, pricing, the products you sell, or where to find products in your store. 

On the other hand, you can install apps on such screens to add a fun touch to the shopping experience in your store. 

For example, some apps can give shoppers mock-ups of how they may look when wearing certain hair, outfits, or make-up. This goes a long way in helping most customers choose which items to buy.

It is possible to use interactive digital displays as an independent wall display idea. Nevertheless, it is advisable to use it alongside other product displays as most customers prefer to see and touch actual products when they shop in person.

Suspended Wall Display Fixtures

Suspended wall display fixtures include items like a display basket or a plinth suspended from a wall using rope, cords, or a chain system. Such installations make great small shop display ideas because they save space, and break the monotony of typical wall displays.

You can use them to showcase: 

• Small items that may be hard for consumers to spot on a shelf e.g. erasers, sharpeners, batteries, etc.
• New products that you want shoppers to notice.
• Products on sale.
• Complementary items e.g. extra shoe laces positioned next to shoe racks of cable clips next to extension cords, etc.

The more interesting the suspended fixture, the more likely it is that customers will spot it. So, aim for creative solutions like a suspended hollow barrel, rustic crates, or a recycled tire. You can also spruce them up with delicate lighting both for visibility and elegance.

Picture Ledges

Picture ledges resemble small floating shelves. They have slots that allow you to mount them on a wall on the underside. They are designed to display small products and thus have a raised barrier or lip along the front edge to keep the product from slipping off. 

Subsequently, they are ideal for creating wall displays for items like phones, some phone accessories, small tech gadgets, books, and similar products.

Picture ledges take up little space and, therefore, provide you with lots of flexibility in terms of where you can position them in your store. You can also customize a picture ledge display by designing the layout and size of a wall display that you prefer.

Hangrails

Hangrails are rods that you mount on a wall to create a product wall display. They are easily customizable depending on the product you would like to display. 

For example, if you run a clothing store, you can display clothing on hangrails using display hangers. In contrast, if you would like to display other products like bags or shoes, you can pair the hangrails with accessories like custom shelving.

Using hangrails offers more freedom too in terms of dimensions and the number of items you wish to display. You only need to figure out how much space you need and get custom rods that can fit your space and enable you to achieve that. Fortunately, weight capacity is hardly ever an issue as metal rods bear weight quite reliably, especially when mounted to a wall.
