I have just leased a retail space for my business, which is a large "basement" space with concrete floors. My theme is "Native/Ethnic/Moroccan". What can I do to make a bigger statement?

    It would probably depend on what your lease says you can do. Is the bare space on walls the result of water getting in? If so, that might limit your use next to the walls. "Native/ethnic/Moroccan" can cover a lot of types of goods. Are yours fabric or a metal/glass mixture or what? It looks like a great space and I would be excited about it. IMHO, pricing is very important, and of course display. Years ago when I had a small shop display was my favorite part of the business. And a couple of weeks ago I had a sale in my home and display played a big part in its success

    Oooh fun! I'd stencil and stain the concrete floor to look like cobblestone streets. Add booths with fantastic awnings in various fabrics and set the entire area to look like a bazaar😀

      I used that same idea many years ago on my concrete deck at our river camp, we where tired of the many floods that took the wood decks away & saved a lot of money. Everyone thought we have used real stone. Looked great and hide a lot of foot prints.

      Great idea I must say.

    water based stain of various colors, I have used dark brown(small amount) beige and orange. the floor looks awesome., gloss over the top makes it very shiny and easy to clean

    Hi there, I would suggest power washing the concrete first with an etching concrete cleaner and rinsing well. Once it dried, use a roller extension and paint with a concrete floor paint.
