The 6,000-square-foot flagship store of flooring brand Square Foot in Bengaluru is designed to offer a striking yet understated retail experience that feels as comforting as a home. The space needed to be both visually engaging and flexible enough to adapt to evolving product collections. With a focus on simplicity and warmth, the design showcases various flooring options without overwhelming the visitor, creating a homely atmosphere where customers can easily imagine the products in their own living spaces.

The store’s layout cleverly integrates elements like swings, chandeliers, and old-style furniture to complement specific flooring zones, such as outdoor decks and luxury sections. These movable pieces not only enhance the ambience but also allow for easy reconfiguration as new collections are introduced. Wall art made from flooring materials, black pottery, greenery, and strategically placed artefacts add playful yet refined touches throughout the store, offering multiple possibilities for customers to visualize their own spaces.

Lighting plays a crucial role, with hidden strip lights and semi-concealed fixtures ensuring the focus stays firmly on the flooring. Cleverly concealed storage, moveable artefact shelves, and chest drawers for samples add to the functionality, while elongated wooden panels provide both aesthetic height and a tactile sampling experience. The store's design carefully balances form and function, creating an immersive environment that enhances product storytelling without visual clutter.

The central conference room, enclosed in a glass box with a sleek black metal frame, seamlessly opens into the showroom, allowing the space to double up for events, meetings, or casual gatherings. Meanwhile, subtle design touches like brass lettering for listing brand branches maintain the understated luxury of the space. Ultimately, the store successfully crafts a multifunctional, welcoming environment where customers can experience flooring solutions in a way that mirrors real-life possibilities.
