Here's How Retail Stores Are Using Faux Stone
Faux stone is a great way to quickly add character, mood, and even a sense of drama to a retail store. Easily installed, long-lasting, and incredibly authentic-looking, you can change the entire look and feel of your retail space in less than a day’s worth of work with faux stone panels.
Because store owners are increasingly loving the versatility of faux stone panels, we decided to take a look at how retail stores across the country are using faux stone in their customer-facing designs.
Livening Up Retail Space to Bring in the Customers!
Retailers looking to add a breath of fresh air to their store are taking to the concept of faux stone panels. One reason why they are proving so popular is simply because they are a great way to liven up a retail space and bring in more customers.
If a store’s interior or exterior design has been unchanged in a few years, then it might be well overdue for a makeover. Installing faux stone panels requires little DIY experience, but it adds a uniquely authentic look to a store that could hardly even be improved with the use of real stone (and you don’t need a mason to get the job done).
You can liven up your retail space in an afternoon, create new, more attractive displays inside the shop or give your exterior a new and vibrant look. There’s a great range of faux stone panels to choose from, and there’s going to be something suitable for almost any style and brand out there.

Creating a Vintage Appeal
Vintage is always in, particularly if your brand likes to look to the past for inspiration. You can use faux stone or faux brick veneers to recreate a vintage appeal inside your store.
Chicago Brick panels can add a dark, almost mysterious look to your retail store, while a stacked stone exterior could take your retail look back even further!
It’s easy to create a vintage appeal with faux stone; one that can really compliment a retro brand or retro product line.
Sleek and Modern
On the opposite end of the design spectrum, retail stores are also making excellent use of faux stone panels to create a sleek and modern look.
The very idea of faux stone is in many ways fantastically modern, and you can use the concept to draw in customers intrigued by the authenticity of this composite material.
Placing brick or stone veneers in unusual locations, such as angled walls or perhaps even curved walls, will go a long way to impressing a modern customer base looking for something new.
As they are available in a fantastic range of colors, you can even build a new faux stone wall in bright, vibrant, and modern tones that can really impress the customer walking through the door.
Many retail stores take this idea further and create a single focal point amongst the displays, such as a bright red brick wall, that immediately draws the focus and attention of the customer. Place your best products on either side of your focal point, and you’ll quickly be making more sales than ever!
Classic Red Brick
It’s that classic red brick look that has become one of the most sought-after styles of faux stone when it comes to retail stores.
It’s dependable, yet as we already discussed, it’s colorful, vibrant and in many situations, it’s an easy way to create a very dramatic looking wall without having to put in too much effort.
A faux red brick wall can be both modern and vintage, and it can be a great look inside the store or outside the store. You can welcome customers with appealing red brick columns covering the entrance, or you can greet them with an eye-catching display of red brick at the back of the store that immediately draws the attention.
You could even single out support columns, corners, or the facade of a check-out area, to create unique, standalone points that are faced with faux red brick.
