How to Decorate an Army Shop

An army themed shop can be an exciting type of store to own. One of the best things about owning this type of shop is to decorate it accordingly. There are many different ways that you can decorate an army shop.

• Use a large piece of army equipment as signage on the exterior of the store. Paint an old Jeep or Humvee in camouflage colors and paint the name of the store on the road side of the vehicle. You may be able to find a vehicle like this at a local junk yard. It doesn’t need to work; in fact, it doesn’t even need a motor.


• Decorate the interior of the store with army recruitment posters. You can find current ones as well as popular historical ones. Any type of picture depicting “Uncle Sam” or “Rosie the Riveter” will set the right tone.


• Paint the walls with the colors of camouflage. Use deep green, brown or tan to give the walls some personality. You may find it easier to buy a camouflage wallpaper. Just make sure that you do not use it over the whole store; it will be best to use it on an accent wall.


• Prepare a wall in a prominent place in the store as a place to memorialize fallen soldiers. Research those who have fallen in the line of duty by calling a local army recruiter. The recruiters office can give you the information you need. By contacting the families of the fallen soldiers, you will be able to get the pictures and information that you need to give these heroes a proper memorial.
