Fitting out a store or equipping a showroom - for both children and their parents
When it comes to fitting out a shop or equipping a showroom, creating a kids’ corner is extremely important. As a retail expert, you will know that children do not generally share their parents’ interests. This means that there is a danger of customers or potential customers who have children with them leaving your retail outlet more quickly than they otherwise would.

Tips on equipping a showroom or fitting out a store with toys for children
We have set out all the tips you need for fitting out a shop or other retail outlet below. Anyone equipping a showroom or fitting out a store for commercial success must make the visiting public the focus. Children are no exception to this rule. This is why we provide the following tips and recommendations:
- select on the basis of the age of the children: fitting out a retail outlet for young children (toddlers and pre-schoolers) will involve different toys and different safety standards than when equipping a store or showroom for teenagers, for example
- when purchasing both furniture and play equipment, make sure you take quality marks into account; either purchase only top brands (LEGO®, JunkTrunk®, KIDEA®, Kapla® etc., as offered through our website), or ask for certificates and attestations that prove in writing that play equipment or blocks meet the required standards (DIN, CE, TüV, etc.)
- purchase furniture made of treated wood and that has round or rounded corners; this will eliminate the risk of any child hurting itself. Treated wood also ensures that the material retains its 100% natural appearance and that it will not discolour or swell up if any liquid is spilled on it
- provide a sufficient amount of children’s play equipment; observe how many children are waiting to use the equipment on average, or how many children there are in the store, and make changes accordingly
- provide young children with large, safe blocks (Kapla, Duplo or other large building blocks); children who are a little older will find smaller blocks (such as Lego and Knex) more challenging
- finally, regularly inspect tables and chairs after purchasing. When a natural product such as wood is played with, it can start to warp and we therefore recommend carrying out a quick check on all of the fixing materials every three months. This will prolong the life of your investment and guarantee that children will be able to play in your store or showroom safely for many years to come
Examples - car showroom and toy store fittings
We have many examples of the best and most professional way to approach equipping a shop or fitting out other retail outlets. Whether the retail space is a fashion store, hairdressing salon, car showroom or toy shop makes no difference. In a car showroom, it doesn’t take much for a car to get scratched. That is why having a dedicated kids’ corner in which little ones can amuse themselves for a lengthy period of time makes good sense. You can then take your time to speak to the parents and provide them with good advice on any possible purchase.

f you are active in the retail sector, it is always a good idea to take note of whether children regularly accompany parents who visit your retail outlet. If children are present at least once a day, investing in a kids’ corner will certainly be worthwhile. You can always start small and upgrade to a fully equipped playground that will keep kids entertained for hours once you discover how successful the investment has been. Whether you have a pop-up store, a factory outlet or a more traditional shop is immaterial.
