When opening a nail salon, interiors play a crucial part. Yes, you’d have to perfect your nail buffing process and customer service, but without a relaxing interior, your customers would likely spend their precious me-time elsewhere. Here are nail salon design inspirations that will invite even the most meticulous clients.
1. Plush and Cute
This design is not only cute in a Barbie sort of way, but it’s also a good layout for a nail salon with limited space. In addition to that, the elements don’t require any special construction, making it a cheaper option for a new business.
2. Color Me White
Soh Art + Beauty shows us that you can pull off a mostly-white design as long as you know how to layer textures. That said, colorful pieces of art and merchandise pop up bright against the light background.
3. Sticks and Circles
One way to up your nail salon design game is to choose a shape that will become your main theme. For instance, this space uses various types of rounds and circles that create a cohesive look.
4. Natural Illumination
This layout for Chillhouse uses natural light to illuminate the nail studio. That said, the plants beside the windows soften the light a bit, while the coffee bar gives the nail salon a cozy cafe feel.

5. Playing with Lights
Without the light fixtures, this design for Jin Soon Hand and Foot Spa may seem like a library hall. But the pendant lights and wall spotlights forming diamond-shaped illuminations create a strong visual impact.
6. Earth Tones
This design for Sundays will make you feel like you’re lounging in a tropical resort somewhere. The earth tones, tan seats, and rattan ottomans, combined with the wooden floors and plants, make for a relaxing sight.
7. Dark and Elegant
Who says nail salon design must always be light and airy? Paintbox, for instance, proves that dark and cool-colored fixtures can also make for a classy nail spa interior.
8. Neutrals and Stripes
If you’re looking for a way to break the monotony of neutrals in the room, then consider using a few bold stripes. For example, the striped throw pillows in Cote’s couches instantly lends a Mediterranean look to the studio.
9. Barn Feels
Olive and June’s white and neutral chairs create a classic but modern look. But perhaps the most prominent feature comes from the barn door, which lends a rustic feel to the studio.
10. Futuristic
This white design from Nailbox gives us a futuristic vibe without being over the top. The white walls fixtures go well with the chairs featuring rounded seat shapes and steel legs.
11. Modern Retro
Leo Nail Salon’s interiors look like a scene straight from a Wes Anderson movie! If you’re thinking of pulling off a similar feel, combine art deco wall decals with simple furniture shapes and vintage light fixtures.
12. Divided Room
If you’re looking for a way to offer added privacy to clients, then this idea from Prose could help. The design features a divider in the middle of the room, allowing customers to get their nails done without having to awkwardly have another client sitting directly across.
13. Posh Accents
Nothing says posh like opulent fixtures and accents. This design from Verbena Parlor + Social House shows us that you can mix together different posh elements to build a maximalist look that still looks cohesive.
14. Industrial Chic
If you’re looking for an industrial nail salon design, then Pink Pedi’s space will offer great inspiration. Aside from the couches with clean shapes, the nail studio features custom foot spa sinks. In addition to that, the lighted brick wall makes all the elements come together.
15. Playing with Nature
Throw in nature elements in a design, and it will surely be relaxing to the eyes. It’s, therefore, not a surprise that the ornamental flora in Bellacures nail studio lends a spa-like ambiance.
16. Pretty Pastels
This design by Nail & Co. makes for an elegant space that will make any customer feel like a queen. If there’s anything we can learn from this visual, it’s that various prints and textures can work well together, even if they’re of different styles.
17. Modern-Day Victorian
This example from French Tips Organic Nail Lounge shows us that bright colors, coupled with nature and post-modern pieces can create a luxurious space perfect for a nail spa.
18. Classy Palette
If you’re looking for a simple design that pops, take a cue from Paloma nail bar. Aside from the sleek furniture and fixtures, the clean color palette makes this space magazine-worthy.
19. Dark and Light
Who says you have to choose between dark and light for a nail salon design? This space, for instance, combines both white and black elements. In addition to that, the gold accents softens the otherwise strong contrast.
20. Round Layout
This layout is a good nail salon design for kiosks in shopping malls as well as other areas with limited space. As seen in the photo, all the nail technicians are inside the circle, including all the stall’s service equipment. On the other hand, clients can find their place on the outer side of the circle, making it a good quick stop for nail services.
