Jewellery shop interior design
Gold is sold under light. Get the lighting temperature wrong and the same piece looks grey — so the lighting is designed first here, and the joinery around it.
- Typical timeline
- Three to four weeks — the display work is finer than a general shop fit.
- Where we work
- Kathmandu valley, from Lotse Mall, Machhapokhari
What is included
Lighting comes before joinery
A jewellery shop is a lighting job with cabinets around it. Cool white LED — the default in most shops — pulls the warmth straight out of gold and makes it read closer to silver, which is why a piece can look better on a phone photo than in the shop that is trying to sell it. We specify warm-temperature LED at the right angle to the tray, run inside the cabinet rather than above it, so the metal reads as it will read on the customer's wrist.
Seated selling, not counter selling
Gold is not an impulse buy. A customer sits down, tries pieces on, looks in a mirror and talks it over with whoever came with them — which means the layout needs seated positions with a mirror at face height and enough counter depth for two trays and two elbows. Shops built as a straight run of standing counters lose that conversation, and the sale usually goes with it.
Security built into the carcass
Twin locks per cabinet, keyed alike so staff carry one key. Toughened glass throughout. Cabinets fixed into the carcass and the carcass fixed to the wall, so nothing can be lifted. We house the safe inside built joinery rather than leaving it standing in a corner, and we plan the sightlines from the counter so every cabinet is visible from where your staff stand.
Areas we cover
We take jewellery shop interior design work across the Kathmandu valley — Machhapokhari, Balaju, Gongabu, New Buspark, Samakhusi, Kalanki, Chabahil, Baneshwor, Koteshwor, Lalitpur, Bhaktapur and the surrounding wards. The workshop is at Lotse Mall, Machhapokhari, Kathmandu, Nepal, so a site visit anywhere in the valley is a short trip rather than a scheduling problem.
Jewellery shop interior design — your questions
Warm-temperature LED, run inside the cabinet and angled onto the tray rather than mounted above the glass. Cool white light makes gold read grey; that single choice changes how the stock looks more than anything else in the shop.
