Light and Air Salon and Spa Interiors make clients feel refreshed. These airy vibes are created by pairing bright white furniture and walls, with wood tones, and adding texture through non-competing decor like mirrors.

A balance of wood tones, darker leather, lighter brick or textured stone, and plants allow this space to feel casual and cool. A color palette like this is relaxed and maintainable, and feels very approachable. Not to mention, the tone on tone chunky knit blankets on the bed!

Dark and Moody interiors are sexy. They make women feel indulgant, luxurious, and warm. By pairing dark walls, with dark beds, this salon oozes appealing luxurious vibes. The key to a dark and moody vibes? Keeping tonality minimal and focussing around two key colours: in this example, black, and brown and bringing those tones through every aspect. 

Consistency plays a role here – make sure the color palette seamlessly connects between the walls and furniture pieces while also blending with the overall decor for a unified and refined appearance. Also make sure that the interior of your salon matches your branding aspects within your website, emails, and marketing. 

2. Consider Adding Arches and Curved Lines


Arches have been an architectural element for centuries standing the test of time with their timeless appeal and structural significance in architecture, throughout history.

Adding features such as arches can bring an elegant and appealing touch to your salon or spa environment and adds softness and luxury. Arches in the form of doorways or mirrors can enhance the feeling of luxury and spaciousness in an area. The gentle curves of arches also contribute to an natural ambiance that is ideal, for a setting dedicated to rejuvenation and aesthetics.


Enhance the look of your salon or spa by incorporating elements around treatment spaces or retail displays to elevate the overall aesthetic appeal of the space; they complement various design styles seamlessly and serve as a versatile enhancement, to your establishment.

3. Backlit shelving (or backlit, anything)


Light is crucial in every design endeavor and when executed effectively can completely change the atmosphere of your salon and spa by setting the right mood for you and your clients to enjoy. One popular trend that has an effect especially in beauty parlors and wellness centers is having shelves, ceilings, or areas of interest with backlighting. Backlighting is a reasonably inexpensive design choice as it is easy to install with flexible strips that can be cut to size. 


Showcasing premium skincare products, or lash or brow retail items on illuminated shelves can make them more noticeable to your customers while also creating an welcoming ambiance, with the gentle backlighting.

4. Ergonomic Salon Beds for Salons and Spas

Lush green plants not cleanse the air but also enstill a feeling of peace and well being into the atmosphere. Blending materials, like fabrics, wooden details and stone can establish a harmonious and inviting ambiance that is both aesthetically pleasing and comfortable to be in.
