The Ripple Trade & DIY Store Design Process
We begin by learning about your space, customers, and commercial goals.
Whether you’re refreshing a trade counter or launching a nationwide showroom rollout, we listen carefully to what matters most to your business.
The Trade, DIY & Merchant sectors have seen a real transformation in the way that people purchase and engage... Recognising this change is key to future growth.
Together, we shape a detailed design brief. This becomes the foundation of everything that follows — tailored to your store format, shopper flow, merchandising needs, and brand identity.
Ripple will work with your business from start to finish, developing a retail design strategy that implements effective trading results.
Our team develops visual merchandising concepts, layout options, and retail display ideas that align with your brand and customer needs.
You'll receive:
- Professional, brand-aligned proposals
- Flexible layouts and store-specific solutions
- Visual merchandising tailored to drive engagement
These services focus on presenting interiors to the highest standard... aligning with your brand values and ethos.
We bring concepts to life through CAD drawings, renders, and walk-throughs — helping you see exactly how the design will work in your space.
Considered retail design creates environments that are as functional as they are engaging.
Once approved, our technical team translates the design into manufacturing drawings and specifications. Then, we build it — all in-house — to ensure precision, quality, and speed.
Our in-house facilities deliver you the best in design for manufacture, impressive lead times, real value and only one touch point.
We produce everything under one roof, then deliver and install with care. Whether it’s a single location or a national rollout, we adapt to your timelines and logistics.
Shop fittings are tailor-made to suit any store interior. These display solutions will be adapted to fit into a range of retail spaces.
Once your Trade & DIY Interior is built, we walk it through with you.
Together, we check every detail, ensure everything’s functioning as it should, and talk you through how to get the best from your space.
From here, we’ll hand over all the technical documentation, and stay available for anything that needs tweaking or fine-tuning.
Ready to upgrade your trade or DIY space? Let’s build something that works — and lasts.

Trade & DIY Interior Design FAQs
As is the case with most of the products manufactured by Ripple, all of our trade store displays are created bespoke for each specific client. This means that the specific timeframes throughout which they will be conceptualised, designed and manufactured will vary between projects.
This is dependent on the number and size of units required, the complexity of the fabrication process and the materials from which they are to be manufactured. To receive a clearer idea of the time it will take us to complete your project, simply contact the team today.
Good trade displays are key to excellent DIY store design. All items should be clearly and safely displayed in a manner that intuitively shows their use, enables the customer to easily access them (if this is the intention) and inform the purchasing decision.
Alternatively, trade displays for items that are of high value or that are potentially hazardous should still enable excellent visibility, but should also serve to effectively protect both the product and the customer.
Trade displays, whether it’s an off-the-shelf solution or bespoke to the exacting needs to suit the project and scenario, we at Ripple can help with it all.
Trade interiors that include well-designed displays will help customers to better understand the product range, drawing a viewer’s attention to each item’s features and uses as well as presenting it in an appealing and attractive light.
At Ripple, we take into account a brand’s aesthetic identity and the requirements of its key customer demographics in order to create a trade store design that will “speak to” potential consumers in this way and will therefore influence higher conversions.
Displays are a vital part of trade design. In outlets where equipment, tools and materials are sold to trade specialists, it is imperative that the quality of each product, its ease of use and its range of applications are made clear to all customers in a practical, visible and safe manner.
POP displays are one of the most effective ways in which to achieve this.
Ripple can produce bespoke designs from full display walls to window displays, stand-alone POP and POS units, racking systems for samples, static or moving rails and shelving systems and plenty more besides.
Absolutely. Our process is built for scale, ensuring consistency, accurate replication, and reliable delivery across regional and national networks.
