Euphoria Interiors designs Kiddie Express children’s salon

Kiddie Express is the third branch of a children’s salon brand, located within a busy shopping mall in Dubai. Designed to accommodate both children and teenagers, the project builds upon operational and technical lessons learned from the client’s earlier outlets. The design prioritizes functionality, durability, and efficient space planning within a high-footfall commercial environment.

The spatial layout is organized to ensure clear zoning and smooth circulation. Dedicated areas support simultaneous use by young children, teenagers, parents, and staff, allowing the salon to operate efficiently during peak hours. Circulation routes were carefully considered to maintain comfort and accessibility while optimizing workflow.

The design language balances playful elements with a more mature aesthetic. Yellow and green accents introduce vibrancy, while terrazzo-patterned surfaces add visual texture without overwhelming the space. This approach broadens the salon’s appeal across age groups, creating an environment suitable for both younger children and teenagers. The overall visual identity aligns with the brand while representing a progression from previous branches.

Euphoria Interiors, led by designer Amanda D’Souza, selects materials guided by durability and maintenance requirements. Porcelain tiles were specified for flooring due to their resistance to wear and ease of cleaning. Finishes and surface treatments were chosen for safety, longevity, and suitability for continuous commercial use. Each material was evaluated for performance within the constraints of a mall setting, where heavy daily traffic is expected.

The execution phase required coordination with contractors and mall management, particularly in relation to commercial approval procedures. Despite time constraints associated with these processes, structured planning and contractor selection supported consistent quality and project delivery. Kiddie Express demonstrates how commercial interior design can integrate operational efficiency, age-inclusive aesthetics, and material durability within a high-traffic retail environment.
