Create a Store Layout in Excel | Retail Dogma

This is an easy and free way to create a store layout and floor plan using Microsoft Excel.

Based on the store design you have, start creating a floor area and placing the fixtures and props, and then map the customer flow if needed. Then name your fixtures with what you want to display on them, and every time you want to do a floor set, use the same file and change the names and places of your fixtures, based on the new floor plan.

Make sure to define the scale you want to work with, and stick to it for the entire plan, including walls and fixtures. Here we used 1 pixel = 1 cm, but you can set your own measurement in inches, feet,..etc.
