Understanding the Challenges of Small Spaces
Before selecting furniture for a retail store or office, it’s important to understand that small spaces come with their own unique set of challenges. Several factors need to be taken into account, including budget constraints, space limitations and measurements, material durability, project timeline, and aesthetic appeal.
Furnishing a small space is very much a balancing act between functionality and aesthetics. Because small stores and offices have limited square footage, the need to maximize storage options and create versatile layouts is more important than ever. Yet, at the same time, most clients recognize that the visual appeal of their environment has an impact on customer interest, satisfaction, and retention. In other words, they don’t want to completely compromise the look of the space in order for it to serve its intended purpose.
Working with a Professional Team
When clients aren’t sure where to begin, they turn to our team at DTANK+ for a seamless design experience. As material experts and global leaders in design, our custom furniture provides durable and practical solutions for furnishing small spaces. Custom pieces allow our clients to tailor a design to specific space requirements, no matter how large or small. We often integrate multifunctional features into our furniture designs to conserve space and make the most of the space our clients have.
We know that furniture plays a powerful role in branding, too. This is one of the reasons why we manage all details of the furniture design process for our clients. Our in-house furniture designers create the initial concept, which we communicate through free 3D renderings that illustrate aesthetic, scale, special features, and more. After gathering feedback from our clients, our team of skilled engineers converts the renderings into detailed drawings that instruct our manufacturers how to fabricate each piece with precision. We oversee the fabrication and final installation to ensure that our clients’ needs are met each step of the way. This also allows us to be sure that the final piece of furniture aligns with existing decor and client brand identity, too.
Furnishing Compact Offices
Compact offices and retail settings are two of the most common small spaces that our clients need help furnishing. In offices, custom furniture solutions may be in the form of modular desks and workstations, space-saving storage solutions, and ergonomic furniture. Below, you will find examples of projects that we have completed in compact offices:

Collaborative areas and meeting spaces can also be optimized to foster creativity and productivity. Our blog about how to use modular furniture in adaptable spaces covers this topic in greater detail.
Furnishing Retail Settings
Custom furniture plays a crucial role in maximizing space efficiency and enhancing the customer experience in retail environments as well – perhaps even more than in offices. Space-efficient display units, point-of-sale counters with integrated storage, flexible shelving systems, and customized fixtures to showcase products are just some of the possibilities. We designed the displays in this swag room for Legendary Entertainment to highlight their products in the most flattering light possible:
