Designing a nail salon is about crafting a welcoming, functional, and stylish space that aligns with your brand and delivers a great experience for both clients and nail technicians.
Our team specialises in designing nail salons with realistic 3D renders, helping you visualise your ideas and fine-tune the layout, colours, and furniture choices before making any commitments.
Here are some key factors we consider when creating a nail salon that balances aesthetics with practicality for your nail business.
Understand your brand and aesthetic
Your nail salon design should be a clear reflection of your brand. If your nail salon offers luxury services, the decor should exude sophistication with rich materials, warm lighting, and elegant furniture.
If your nail salon has a more modern and playful edge, we’d design with vibrant colours, sleek lines, and standout pieces that mirror your brand personality and creates an inviting atmosphere.
Nail salon design ideas & nail salon decor
1. Glam look
If you want your nail salon to exude luxury, go for a glam vibe. Think glossy surfaces, metallic finishes, and statement lighting like chandeliers or gold pendants. Add velvet chairs or plush seating for clients, and a touch of sparkle with mirrored accents or crystal decor.
A soft blush and gold colour palette can keep the space looking sophisticated without feeling overdone.
2. Minimalist chic
Keep it sleek and modern with a minimalist style, minimal furnishings and minimal walls. Neutral tones like white, grey, or beige create a clean and professional look, while simple furniture with clean lines makes the space feel uncluttered. Add warmth with wooden finishes and soft lighting.
A few bold decor pieces, like a large wall mirror or abstract art, can give it personality without straying from the minimalist theme.
3. Natural & relaxing
Bring a calming, spa-like vibe to your nail salon with natural elements. Use wooden furniture, earthy tones, and soft greens to create a relaxing atmosphere.
Plants or greenery walls are perfect for this look, as they add a fresh, vibrant feel to the space. Pair this with soft lighting and comfortable, textured seating to make clients feel instantly at ease creating a clean and elegant atmosphere.
4. Bold & vibrant
For a more playful, high-energy salon, go bold with bright colours and fun patterns. Use pops of neon, a feature wall with geometric designs, or striking artwork to make a statement.
Comfortable yet funky furniture in contrasting shades can add to the vibrant feel. Just be sure to balance it with neutral elements to avoid overwhelming the space.
5. Modern industrial
For a cool and contemporary vibe, go industrial. Exposed brick walls, concrete surfaces, and black metal accents can create a trendy, urban feel.
Add sleek furniture with matte finishes and bring in warmth with wood or leather textures. Industrial-style pendant lights or Edison bulbs complete the look, making it modern yet inviting.
6. Soft & feminine
For a chic, feminine nail salon, focus on soft pastel tones like blush pink, mint, or lavender. Velvet textures, floral prints, and gold or rose gold accents can elevate the space without making it overly girly.
Add some elegant furniture and delicate decor like framed prints or soft rugs to tie it all together.
7. Coastal retreat
If you want your salon to feel light and breezy, go for a coastal-inspired vibe. Stick to a colour palette of whites, soft blues, and sandy beige tones.
Wicker furniture, nautical-themed decor, and plenty of natural light will give the space a fresh, airy feel that your clients will love.
Nail salon wall decor
Wall decor, wall art, nail polish display, and thoughtful nail salon interior design can completely transform the look and feel of your nail salon, making it more inviting and memorable for your clients.
Create a feature wall with textured panels, elegant wallpaper, or bold paint colours to establish a focal point that reflects your salon's personality.
Add stylish nail polish displays to showcase your colour range in an organised and eye-catching way.
Enhance the space with framed prints, abstract art, or a neon sign featuring an uplifting quote to bring charm and individuality to the room.
Mirrors are a must-have, not only to complement the decor but also to make smaller salons feel more open and spacious.
For a softer, more natural touch, consider greenery walls or hanging plants to add a calming vibe. Thoughtful interior design, paired with the right furniture and decor, can elevate your nail salon into a space that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

Plan for an efficient layout for small nail salon and large nail salons
An efficient nail salon design layout keeps everything running smoothly. From zoning the salon with dedicated areas for reception, waiting and workstations to ensuring a natural flow that guides clients comfortably through the space, we ensure every detail is considered.
Lighting is everything
The right lighting transforms a nail salon. We create lighting schemes that mix natural light with adjustable LED lighting, perfect for everything from hair colour to make-up application.
Our 3D designs allow you to see how lighting will interact with different furniture pieces and wall colours, helping you find the perfect balance between functional brightness and relaxing ambience.
Choose durable, easy-to-clean materials
Nail salon furniture needs to handle daily use and exposure to products, so we focus on materials that look great while standing up to wear and tear. Leather or faux leather seating, for instance, offers comfort and is easy to clean, while tiled or vinyl flooring is both stylish and spill-resistant.

Make space for retail
A well-placed retail area can increase sales without disrupting the salon’s flow.
Using our 3D renders, we can show you the best way to integrate stylish shelving and display counters, often placing them near the reception or waiting areas for easy browsing. This visualisation helps ensure your retail area is both eye-catching and seamlessly fits within your nail salon design.
Manage noise levels
Acoustics often get overlooked, but they’re essential, especially for relaxing treatments. We design with acoustics in mind, incorporating rugs, wall panels, and partitions that help manage noise levels.
Design with a cohesive colour scheme
The colour scheme can set the mood in your nail salon, from calming cool tones to energising warm hues. We’ll work with you to choose colours that align with your brand, and our 3D renders give you the freedom to experiment with different combinations and see exactly how they’ll look before making a final choice.
