How I Built a Clothing Store in a WEEK // For Under $2,500 // Modern Builds

Күн бұрын

Today on Modern Builds I'm going to build out a men's clothing store, on the cheap, in a week! We used simple materials: OSB and Raw Steel to create repeatable designs that can be reorganized to update the store layout without adding additional pieces. I hope you enjoy the video, and if you are interested in doing something similar, feel free to send me a DM on instagram @modernbuilds.

I think it works with the aesthetic the store/clothing is going for. It's definitely a streetwear style which kind of plays with contemporary ideas of fashion - aka why a lot of streetwear can look tacky, but that's why it's considered fashionable - so the contrast of an inexpensive and bare material against designer streetwear clothing makes sense

@@christian9902 Exactly what I was thinking. Industrial + minimal makes for an unfinished cheap mess. Lots of bigger name shops do this, and although it is way more expensive, its miles apart from what this ended up being.

People are missing the point here. Over the top[expensive] tenant improvements can doom you to fail before the doors open. I contacted too many of those pricey leasehold improvement over the years than i care to remember.......most those businesses failed in the first 5 years. You guys nailed it. Whether or not a person likes this style of decorating they should at least be inspired by what was accomplished here for the price on a cheap leather couch. The OSB haters make me shake my head.....i love the irony of an inexpensive material carefully used to display a high end item ......heck any time you want to redecorate a piece of fabric draped over the OSB will do the job do next to nothing.....best of luck to all of you in this new endeavor..

So I tend to agree that the OSB vibe comes across as a little spartan. Makes it feel like you're entering a construction zone. But I don't know if I'd necessarily paint it or something, that's going too far and trying to hide the aesthetic. I think there are better ways to spruce it up a little. Stained OSB can give an interesting effect while letting you keep the texture. Or if you did a thick glossy finish, you'd get the impression that the pedestals were "finished" in the sense that they weren't works in progress. Alternately just a little extra geometry can go a long way, a light chamfer would make the displays more inviting, literally. You wouldn't feel like you'd get a splinter getting up close. Regardless of peoples comments about the aesthetic, mad respect for taking on such a big project and executing it.

It needs art high above the racks. You and your buddy should host art gallery shows and small gatherings to get people in the door. The cash wrap could double as a small stage for performers. Everybody is crapping on the osb, but like I stated below, it fits the urban/minimalist lewk you were going for. I hate to be brutal, but the products look like a consignment store with not enough stock or a half empty thrift store. I'm sure a lot of raw material for the designers is upcycled but still. Best of luck in your new endeavor!

@FrancheskaZulla 5 жыл бұрын

As an interior designer, the aesthetic fits the clothes they are selling but yeah you're right. They need a little bit of color cause it looks too simple. If they really wanna boom the business, they gotta make it more artsy vibe and maybe hosts some party with people that jas the same aesthetic.

Agreed, the people commenting that the OSB is hideous and that the store looks cheap, are commenting from the backwoods of Mississippi. I see stores like this in Manhattan every day and no one has an issue with the decor. Mind you these stores have been here at least a decade. If I were to add anything it would definitely be some mannequins and even some art on the walls otherwise they did an amazing job. Final thought/PSA: READ THE TITLE!!! The goal was to show people how they could interior design their own store for cheaper than a bathroom renovation, they did just that. Tremendous job again!!! @ModernBuilds

Hey Mike! This is such an achievement! Such an awesome job! You should look at the interior design of Rick Owens stores. They do much of the same thing - combine cheap materials and extremely luxe materials for seating around the store (Or you can check it out the next time you are in Soho in Manhattan ;) ). Very much a similar store aesthetic. One comment: I feel like the window display is not that visible from street level. Maybe you need a contrasting background color or something, but with the scale of the hats and shoes, it seems like the plinth would be more visually dominant and might get lost with the background of the store. Anyway, just my 2 cents, think this is such an amazing project and your cash wrap is GORGEOUSSSSS

Way to make a silk purse from a sow's ear, Mike. Two glaring "warts" on the face of an otherwise successful retail design; 1) the pedestrian "default" font used for the vinyl window graphics. Your friend should replace with a more stylish, contemporary font. Ben or Jessie would have some good suggestions. 2) lose the cheapo Office Depot rolling office chair. Either have no task seating at all, or invest in one or two statement furniture pieces, like a Mies Van der Rohe Barcelona chair, or a Bertoia Diamond Lounge Chair. A good furniture piece and quality lighting will go a long way to sell the "premium" nature of your brand. Good luck with the new venture!
