We’re thrilled to introduce The SkinCare Studio’s second brick-and-mortar location in Stratford, CT! This medical spa offers customized facials, chemical peels, anti-aging treatments, and more—all in a space designed to promote relaxation and self-care.

At NJA Interiors, we aimed to create a tranquil, upscale environment that reflects the brand’s dedication to expert skincare and rejuvenation.

Designing A SPA RETREAT

Located in Stratford’s historic commercial district, The SkinCare Studio needed a design that felt welcoming and sophisticated. Inspired by nature, we chose a calming palette of soft greens and blues, accented with black and gold for a refined touch.

One of the most striking features is the custom reception desk, designed with a fluted front façade, sleek granite countertop, hidden storage, and ambient lighting. This focal point sets the tone for an elevated client experience. Plush lounge seating and cozy benches offer a stylish yet comfortable waiting area, ensuring guests feel at ease from the moment they step inside.

Creating Functionality & Flow

Beyond aesthetics, functionality was a key priority. We carefully planned the layout to include a full-service exam room, ensuring an efficient workflow for the staff while maintaining an open, airy atmosphere. The combination of clean lines, soft textures, and thoughtful lighting enhances the studio’s mission: providing expert skincare treatments in a space that feels like a true retreat.

Seeing this project come to life has been incredibly rewarding. From concept to completion, every detail was designed to create a harmonious blend of elegance and tranquility—an inviting oasis where clients can unwind and prioritize self-care.
