What's a comfortable footprint for one styling station?

Enough room for the stylist to move freely around the chair and for the client's own chair or trolley to sit beside it without crowding the aisle. An arched niche or partial divider can make a modest station feel more generous than its footprint suggests.

What colours work best for a premium salon interior?

A calm neutral base, warm oat, stone or soft grey, with one saturated colour used in a single moment reads more premium than a fully coloured room. The restraint is what signals the choice was deliberate.

Can a compact salon still read as premium?

Zone it clearly even at a small scale, keep the material palette consistent across zones, and place mirrors with intent rather than purely for function. A well-zoned compact salon usually reads calmer than a larger one with no clear structure.

What lighting suits a salon best?

A layered mix: neutral colour-temperature task lighting at every mirror, a warmer ambient glow through the rest of the room, and one or two accent fixtures for drama at the reception or a feature wall.

Should a salon reception be open or enclosed?

Open generally works better for a boutique salon, since it lets the reception read as part of the overall space rather than a separate transaction counter. A curved desk softens the boundary further without closing it off.
