Design That Speaks for Itself

The storefront acts as a bold and purposeful billboard for Dunelm, inviting shoppers to explore. Inside, the store’s open-warehouse architecture highlights the breadth of the range, from bedding and kitchenware to furniture, while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

A Joyful Shopping Experience

The customer journey is designed for ease and discovery. Products are grouped around key lifestyle themes—live, eat, bath, and sleep—creating an intuitive flow and inspiring customers as they shop.

A palette of warm timbers and neutral tones evokes the comfort of home, while pops of Dunelm’s signature green add vibrancy and brand recognition. Industrial details and honest materials reflect Dunelm’s down-to-earth personality.

Large-scale feature bays punctuate the space, creating beacons that both help navigation and create visual showcases for Dunelm's key categories.

Service lands as a destination at the back of the store, with the queue barrier providing essential pick ups, delivering the thrill of the marketplace.
