Optimize the space of your decorative wood hardware shelves
How did it all start?
Which of the two made the first move?
There is no documentation to prove it, there are no more than hypotheses to express an indisputable certainty: what there is between wood and decorative hardware is, without a doubt, love.
Love at first, second or third sight. Love with a capital letter, in short, the good Love. The incredulous who have stopped believing in love and consider that everything is, at the end of the day, pure convenience; they may well wake up because, in the second decade of the XXI century, the reality of DIY stores, decorative hardware section, differs greatly from that preconceived idea.
They shouldn’t feel displaced, but they shouldn’t feel comfortable either, because we are going to plunge them into a bath of reality that will shake the very foundations of those well-established schemes.
We start by taking a look at the current trends in decorative hardware for wood and what do we find? The hottest trends, the latest and the penultimate return of the classics.
The return of those designs that are always on the best stocked shelves; those that a sales manager knows that they must always be part of their stock; those that, no matter how much many people may be put off by them, never, never go out of fashion. If the shelves could talk… What do you think they would say?
You already know that the hardware manufacturing team and the marketing and sales team are at the heart of this love story and work closely together, managing that special chemistry to distribute it properly.
A work that optimizes the space on the shelves and satisfies customers, professionals or not, who year after year and decade after decade, know that the classic decorative fittings will always have their place particularly more if the combination is with wood. The most functional fittings will be available for any emergency and that the most innovative and avant-garde ones will have their own space to show all that the sector is capable of offering.
Let’s go with the first ones, those that we now call vintage or rustic, or retro or… whatever, they are the classic, the decorative fittings that have that patina of time that everyone loves equally because they have that spark, that aura, that originality that can only be given when there is Love, good Love, like the one that exists between the decorative fittings and wooden furniture.
Vintage fittings are on everyone’s lips, they are a trend, therefore the shelves are demanding their presence. That is why it is necessary to know how to optimize their exposure to the public.
