Spread over 3000 sq. ft and housed inside a beautiful Victorian building, ME+EM has stayed true to its New Town location embracing and enhancing the existing architectural heritage skylights and cornices. The interiors of the George Street store have been carefully designed to respect the building's design and heritage, with geometric tiled flooring providing both a nod to the building's Victorian architecture and a contrast to the soft palate and natural texture of wood and boucle.
The primary aesthetic features a flattering pale beige-pink hand-applied finish with tonal rails. In striking contrast, a mustard yellow backdrop houses a large and luxurious changing suite for customers. Considered lighting and a flattering colour palette provide a relaxing environment for customers' fitting room experiences and the brand has developed a colour palette from pink and greens to include a deep burgundy which frames the space.
