and Props display. Rolled up denim like a pyramid is one of good options. Any mannequin / Torso displayed shall be carrying accessories as well.

Walls which have 2ft panel in between, the 2ft space shall always be used to create story of the coordinates, like pajamas / churidards and duppata’s of the same shades

•Each person may have a distinct reaction to the same color.

•There are cultural and regional difference in color preference.

Select colors from within a group-Warm and cool can be coordinated. e.g. Yellow top and blue skirt.

Each color group can be combined with Neutral Colors. e.g. Yellow top with a blue skirt and a Black belt.

Few Tips for Better Displays

Keep it simple. Don't try to put in everything at once.

• Keep it clean.

• Change displays frequently to keep the look fresh.

• Bright lighting is crucial, both during the day and at night.

Use lights to highlight individual items or signs.

• Use repetition of shapes and colors to attract attention.

• Cluster items in groups of three or five. Odd numbers are

most pleasing to the eye.

• Vary height and depth of items to carry the eye

throughout the display. A pyramid or triangle is a pleasing

shape.

• Use motion to catch the customer's eye.

• Use light, bright colors.

• Continue the theme of the window display with other

displays inside the store.
