We write a lot about the importance of creating a delightful in-store consumer experience at JCK—and for good reason!

Shoppers can now purchase every product under the sun online, so brick-and-mortar retailers need to focus like lasers on the reasons shoppers might want to jettison themselves off their sofas and mosey into their store.

Crucial to a positive in-store experience is thoughtful and evocative interior design, which the following international boutiques have in spades. Notice that in each store, the design features are almost more eye-catching than the product sitting on or near them.
