In my last column, I discussed distinguishing characteristics of a well-planned showroom. Let's say you used these elements to build your showroom and it turned out beautifully. But now it's 12 to 18 months later and things have changed. Some of your displays contain discontinued product. Some surfaces are starting to show wear and look shabby. Some of the overall design elements have reached the end of their life cycle and do not look as fresh as they once did.
