Design Tips: Updating a Small Space for Spring

We were so excited to have the opportunity to makeover a small space in our Urban Forge retail store in Mountain View, Arkansas. The space, along with being small, also had irregular angles which created a challenge when coming up with a design plan. As you can tell from the video, the design of the space was not cohesive.

And we are new in a sense. Or rather our face is. Our business has been here for years.
