Which Signage Can Help You Maximize Your Space?

1/24/2025

Often, small businesses operate out of small spaces. Having a limited amount of square footage available doesn’t mean you can’t make a big visual impact, though. Knowing which kind of signs and graphics to use in a tighter space can ensure that you make a strong first impression on customers and clients.

Picking the right kind of signs and displays to use when you only have a limited amount of room to work with can be a bit of a science – but we’re here to help.

What Are The Best Signs to Use In a Small Space?

While many custom graphics can be used in smaller areas, these are some of the best options available to you.

Wall graphics

Make use of your available wall space! Custom wall graphics, such as murals, can create an illusion of height or depth in smaller areas. You can also use office wall graphics in your front lobby to establish your company branding or in your conference room to reinforce your business values or mission statement. Blank walls are often just fresh canvases on which to unleash your creativity, so don’t leave them bare!

Banner stands

Retractable banners are perfect for tight spaces since they have a pretty tiny footprint but a big visual appeal. They stand tall but can also be retracted or rolled up to be transported to a different location or just stored away. Use them to promote events and sales or to establish your brand presence. They’re also a popular choice for trade shows and other industry events due to the ability to update messages with a new insert.

Hanging signs

Custom ceiling banners and other hanging signs can be a clever way to utilize all available space. Many businesses will use them as creative wayfinding signage, helping to point the way to different departments or designate unique areas. No matter what you use them for, they’re great at essentially creating space for graphics where there was none previously; by hanging a graphic from the ceiling, you’re generating new real estate for your brand presence.

Floor graphics

Sometimes, the best place to be is underfoot! Custom floor graphics can be used as a way to establish your brand presence by welcoming your visitors into your space. They can also be used as creative wayfinding signage, helping to point the way toward reception, restrooms, point-of-purchase or anywhere else people need to be. Since they’re made of tough, durable vinyl that withstands foot traffic, they’re designed to last, too!

Illuminated signs

Including lighting in your graphics is a great way to enhance the overall look of any space. Backlighting your signs can create a halo effect and add a sense of depth to different areas, making them appear larger than they may actually be. Uplighting can achieve a similar effect.
