39 DIY Retail Display Ideas (from Clothing Racks to Signage)

When building or redesigning your retail store, it's important to think about the look and flow of the store. You want your merchandise to be showcased properly and your displays to match the aesthetics of your brand. You also want all of that in a high-quality and affordable package.
These 39 retail display ideas are all built using Kee Klamp fittings and pipe (or one of our Kee Klamp clothing rack kits) to create a stunning look, super sturdy structure, and a long-term solution at an affordable cost.
Wall Mounted Clothing Racks
DIY Garment Rack

This wall-mounted clothing rack features pipe that was painted black while the fittings were left in their original, silver finish to create a unique look for this showroom. Todd built this clothing rack because he wanted something unique, stylish, and modern. "The design of the rack had to fall in line with our design philosophy which is consistency and purpose" said Todd.
T-shirt & Jean Display

This unique design makes use of the Rail Support fitting to support the shelves and create a "floating" appearance. It also features a "winding" design to hang the store's jeans by making use of the Hook fitting.
Sock Display

This fixture uses Kee Klamp fittings and pipe to create a stand and attach the pallet-style display to showcase this store's collection of socks. The display is attached to the pipe using the M50 fitting.
Wall & Ground Mounted Clothing Rack

This clothing rack by Philippe Hass Bespoke Tailoring is mounted to the wall and ground using the Flange fitting. It also features incorporated shelving made possible using the Single Socket Tee fitting. The rack is 5 ft. wide by 8 ft. tall.
Wall Mounted Clothing Rack with Shelving

This rack is attached to the wall and ground. Rather than simply resting the shelves across an intersection made in the rack, this design makes use of the Rail Support fitting to attach the shelving and create a "floating" appearance. Single wall racks are created on both sides using a Flange fitting, length of pipe, and a Malleable Plug to cap off the pipe.
Wall Mounted Clothing Rack & Display

This clothing rack is also attached to the wall and ground using the Flange fitting. The horizontal bar for hanging clothing is created using the Single Socket Tee fitting. A shelf at the top is attached to the frame using the M50 fitting.
Full-Wall Clothing Rack

This wall mounted clothing rack at Pure Barre Roseville spans nearly the entire height of the wall. It's quite an elaborate design that incorporates bars for hanging clothing and integrated shelving. The rack is attached to the wall using the Flange fitting and shelves are added by placing boards across intersections made possible using the Single Socket Tee fitting.
"I had seen projects on your website and heard great things from other Pure Barre studio owners across the country. I had limited wall space and wanted to utilize my space to the best of my ability to showcase items from our retail boutique. Acton was awesome helping me to design the look and layout, including several revisions going back and forth on ideas. Customer service, help in design, and the speedy process from design to shipping was incredibly beneficial. I truly appreciate your help and support!"
Wall Mounted Clothing & Shoe Racks

A few different designs here that all feature the pipe painted black and the fittings left in their original, silver finish to create a unique look. It pairs well with the pallet wall. The racks are used to hang clothing, showcase motorcycle helmets, and display shoes.
Entire Wall Mounted Clothing Racks

This clothing rack is mounted to the wall and ground using the Flange fitting. The rack is a completely integrated design that spans nearly the entire length of the wall.
"Winding" Multi-Level Clothing Racks

A different style than many on this list, these clothing racks feature a "winding" design to create a unique look. The racks are mounted to the wall and ground using the Flange fitting while a 90 Degree Elbow fitting is used to create the bends. A Collar fitting is used at the very end of the rack to prevent clothing from falling off.
Wall Mounted Clothing Rack & Free Standing Shelving Unit

In addition to the wall mounted racks, a free standing shelving unit is also created using Kee Klamp fittings. Flange fittings are used for the shelf base. The Side Outlet Elbow fitting and 90 Degree Side Outlet Tee fitting are used to create the corners in the shelf frame.

This unique rack is used to display shoes and is mounted to the wall using Kee Klamp fittings and pipe for a clean, industrial look.
