A well-structured retail display does more than simply present products – it directs attention, creates atmosphere and supports strategic product placement. So how can you design a display that works on multiple levels and captures customer interest?
Think in layers: height, visibility and flow
An effective display uses a hierarchy of heights to guide the eye. Combine tall display stands with mid-level podiums and lower platforms to break monotony and highlight key items. This layered effect adds structure while helping shoppers navigate naturally through the space.

Integrate mannequins with display stands
A compelling clothing display blends full-body silhouettes with focused item highlights. Use mannequins to tell the story – and display stands for retail stores to showcase shoes, accessories or feature pieces. Together, they create a complete and visually balanced narrative.
Choose flexible, modular solutions
Retail spaces and collections change constantly – your display system should keep up. Modular furniture and adaptable display stand collections allow you to update layouts quickly without starting from scratch. A great example is the MORE STUDIO line by MORE Mannequins, which includes:
- ESSENTIALS – compact stands for small goods
- CUBES & PODIUMS – modular podium systems
- FLO – lightweight torso-hangers for modern apparel presentation
Summary: design with intent
Multi-level displays are more than decoration – they are a visual merchandising tool. With smart layering, the right combination of mannequins and display stands, and a flexible setup, you can turn any space into a story-driven, high-performing retail environment.
