The long days of summer are coming to a close and soon the air will turn chilly, the leaves will crunch underfoot, and we’ll switch from refreshing iced tea and lemonade to creamy cocoa and tart apple cider. As customers begin to bundle and prepare for the colder months, it’s time to turn your attention to how best to outfit your retail space for fall, and rustic wood displays are the perfect way to infuse your décor with the comforting appeal of autumn.
How can you bring the outdoors in and add warm and welcoming wood to your retail displays? There are dozens of ways to play on the classic appeal of harvests, hayrides, and visits to the pumpkin patch that abound in the fall season. Here are just a few clever ideas to get you started.
Boxes, Baskets, Barrels, and More
There are several easy ways to transition to fall décor with versatile wooden bins for your retail displays. You can start with apple baskets, bushel barrels, and farmhouse crates on tables and shelves in place of your standard bins. These folksy containers come in a variety of sizes for your convenience, not to mention a wide range of price points to fit any budget.
If you want something larger for floor displays, you can upgrade to wine or whiskey barrels for added impact. You can also go smaller for counter displays. Wooden grids like those used for old-school dairy bottles are perfect for POS kiosks and last-minute, impulse buy items. You could even tack crates or grids to vertical walls as an eye-catching way to highlight new merchandise.
Display Tables and Shelving
If you love the homestyle, country appeal of wood for fall, you needn’t limit yourself to small bins. You can go all out with antique wood display tables, shelving units, and even tiered display racks with tilted bins. These items could decorate your store year-round, depending on the wares you sell and how you dress them up (or down).
Upright Displays
It’s easy to get stuck in horizontal space, but there are also plenty of ways to use reclaimed wood for upright displays. For example, you could use reclaimed barn wood to create a display wall for hanging items, or you could place freestanding displays near the POS with an upright wood plank attached to a base. Pound in a few nails to hang jewelry, keychains, scarves, or even small baskets with loose items for patrons to peruse while they wait in line. If you have a creative mind, you can use rustic wood in all kinds of ways to amplify the coziness of your store in time for the fall season.
