Interior Design: The Importance of Art for Jewelry Stores
When remodeling or starting a new building construction, jewelry store ownersâ question the use of art to impress their customers. Art should be used to attain the business goals of your jewelry store. No matter the size of the store, every job today requires exceptional creativity and imagination to get ahead, which is just one way art can  enhance the storeâs appearance and enrich your customerâs experience .
In business, one can spend countless hours researching the market, developing jewelry products/services, and hiring the right employees. Less effort, however, goes into planning the decor and appearance of the VIP office. This may be because it might not seem a significant part in making a successful jewelry store. That is not the case. Design and decor play a very important and beneficial role in the jewelry interior design business.
By improving the surroundings, art can stimulate production, whether it is through customers, employees, or vendors. The design of an office and wall decor  conveys the ideas, values, and vision of your store. Customers want to see the aesthetic of the business match the vision of  the  jewelry they are purchasing and the customer service they expect. The jewelry stores that have creative working spaces prove beneficial to employees and customers to interact with the environment.

Art can provide cultural benefits to employees and shows a commitment to their enrichment. It can also promote goodwill and a good public image to show involvement in your community. A non-profit organization, Business Committee of the Arts, surveyed over 800 employees at 32 companies in the United States that have workplace art collections. These companies ranged from food distributors to law firms and jewelry stores. The survey showed that art in the workplace helps address some key business challenges. A large majority of employees agreed in all cases that art was beneficial: 78% of employees agree it (art) reduces stress; 64% agree it increases creativity and productivity; 67% agree it enhances morale; 65% say it helps to build customer relations; 73% say it helps to build community relations.
To gain a competitive edge, jewelry stores across the country are increasingly incorporating the arts in their jewelry stores. Whether to create an uplifting atmosphere, or a metaphoric statement, art in the jewelry store business matters. There are many benefits to incorporating art in the workplace with the only possible negative being  the cost. See picture of another wall of pictures from Zorrels Jewelers.
