CARSUPERMARKET.COM CASE STUDY

Interact Showrooms was appointed to deliver the refurbishment of the CarSupermarket.com Barnsley showroom, creating a modern, welcoming and highly functional customer environment.

The project was delivered as a full turnkey interior fit-out, with Interact taking the scheme from initial concept through to detailed design, manufacture, coordination and final installation. The result is a contemporary automotive retail space that combines natural finishes, branded customer zones, digital engagement points and bespoke interior features throughout.

From the outset, the aim was to create a showroom environment that felt fresh, professional and customer-focused, while also supporting the day-to-day needs of the sales team.

From concept to fully manufacturable design

A central part of Interact’s role was the development of the original concept into a practical, fully manufacturable solution.

Using SolidWorks, the Interact design team translated the visual direction into detailed technical designs ready for production. This process ensured every element could be accurately manufactured, coordinated and installed on site.

The design development covered a wide range of bespoke showroom features, including custom joinery, curved architectural details, slatted wall systems, integrated planter sections, branded customer touchpoints, digital display areas and tailored furniture elements.

This detailed design stage was essential in ensuring the finished environment retained the intended look and feel, while also meeting the practical requirements of manufacture, installation and long-term showroom use.

Coordinating multiple specialist manufacturing partners

The refurbishment required the production of several bespoke elements, each with different materials, finishes and manufacturing requirements.

Interact coordinated the project across multiple specialist manufacturing partners, ensuring every part of the scheme was produced to the correct specification and ready for installation within the agreed timeframe. Each element was designed to work together as part of a cohesive showroom experience, creating a consistent finish across the customer journey.

By managing the coordination centrally, Interact ensured the project moved efficiently from design to production, reducing complexity for the client and keeping delivery on track.

Creating curved feature elements

One of the key challenges of the Barnsley showroom refurbishment was the creation and installation of the curved feature elements.

These elements formed an important part of the overall showroom design, helping to soften the space, guide the customer journey and create a more premium retail environment.

Curved joinery and architectural features require a high level of design accuracy, manufacturing precision and installation care, so our design and project team worked closely with the manufacturing partners to ensure each curved section could be produced accurately and installed successfully on site.

Careful consideration was given to dimensions, materials, fixing methods and alignment, ensuring the final installation achieved the seamless appearance required across the showroom and consultation spaces.

Branded customer zones and digital integration

The completed showroom incorporates a number of branded customer touchpoints designed to improve the visitor experience and support the sales process.

These include clearly defined consultation areas, integrated digital display points and bespoke furniture that helps create a more comfortable and professional environment for customers.

Digital display integration was also carefully considered within the overall design, ensuring screens and technology sat naturally within the showroom environment rather than feeling like an afterthought.

Combined with the use of natural finishes, planting details and contemporary showroom fixtures, the completed space provides a more engaging and retail-led presentation for the CarSupermarket.com brand.

Installation and site coordination

Once the manufacturing phase was complete, Interact’s dedicated installation team delivered the full fit-out on site.

The installation was carefully coordinated to minimise disruption and maintain progress against the agreed programme. Site coordination and programme management were handled throughout delivery, ensuring each element arrived, was installed and was finished to the required standard.

Our nationwide installation capability allows Interact to support clients across the UK, delivering consistent quality whether a project involves a single showroom refurbishment or a wider multi-site programme.

At Barnsley, this approach helped ensure the refurbishment was completed efficiently, with a high-quality finish achieved throughout the customer showroom and consultation areas.

The finished result

The completed CarSupermarket.com Barnsley showroom delivers a modern, welcoming and professional customer environment.

The finished refurbishment demonstrates Interact’s ability to deliver high-quality showroom environments that combine creative design, technical detailing, specialist manufacture and professional installation.
