Once the style has been defined, it's time to choose the right colours, furniture and accessories to create a consistent and harmonious environment. Some key elements for decorating a pharmacy are:

• The colour palette: Choose colours that are consistent with the style of your pharmacy. For a modern, minimalist décor, a good choice could be white, black and grey tones. If you prefer a warmer, more welcoming décor, pastel shades and earthy would be ideal.

• Furniture: Choose functional and comfortable furniture for your customers. Also, make sure that the furniture is adapted to the available space. And most importantly, that it doesn't prevent customers from moving around.
• Accessories that make all the difference: Accessories can be an excellent way to display your personality and style. You can opt for works of art, plants, carpets or curtains to give your pharmacy a personal and welcoming touch.
