St. Louis Commercial Construction: Bella & Mango Retail Build-Out in Ballwin

How a 1,000-Square-Foot Retail Space Became a Bright Brand Experience

Ever walk into a store and feel like you’ve stepped into someone’s Pinterest board?

That’s exactly what shoppers experience at Bella & Mango—a boutique that just opened its second location in Ballwin, Missouri, thanks to a carefully executed commercial renovation by CPS (Commercial Property Services, Inc).

At CPS, we’ve spent over 20 years serving the St. Louis area, transforming office, restaurant, and retail spaces into functional, beautiful environments. But Bella & Mango was something special—fun, fresh, and full of personality.

This blog gives you a behind-the-scenes look at how our team helped make their vision come to life at 14850 Clayton Rd in St. Louis County.

The Challenge: From Office-Like Layout to a Boutique-Ready Space

When Bella & Mango’s owners got the keys to their new 1,000-square-foot space, it still looked like its old self—an outdated layout that didn’t reflect the boutique's vibrant, colorful brand. The flooring felt tired, the walls lacked energy, and a small back-office room took up valuable retail square footage. To make the space truly boutique-ready, they needed a quick, clean, and style-forward commercial build-out in St. Louis.

Here’s what they needed:

• A complete interior refresh with modern flooring and bright paint

• Removal of the former office to open up floor space

• Construction of new fitting rooms for customers

• Reworking an existing small room for more effective use

• A build-out partner who could move fast—without compromising style or quality

The CPS Solution: A Splash of Color Meets Practical Construction

With a clearly defined scope and a tight timeline, CPS jumped into action. Working side by side with the boutique owners, we translated their aesthetic into a construction plan that was clean, vibrant, and functional.

Our Build-Out Highlights:

• New Paint: Walls were coated in a clean, modern white—perfect for letting Bella & Mango’s bold merchandise and décor pop. Accent walls in vibrant pink with pineapple patterns and tropical-inspired curtains turned functional spaces (like dressing rooms) into Instagram-worthy zones.

  
  

• LVP Flooring: We installed Luxury Vinyl Plank flooring throughout the space—offering a rich wood-look finish that’s both durable and stylish. The new flooring completely refreshed the space and gave it a boutique feel.

  
  

• Office Removal & Space Rework: We removed the outdated office to open up the showroom area of the space.  We also converted an old rear kitchen room to a new office for her.

  
  

• Custom Dressing Rooms: Because every boutique needs stylish and functional fitting rooms, we built new dressing rooms wrapped in whimsical lemon-printed curtains—bringing privacy and playfulness together in one simple upgrade.

  
  

This wasn’t a full structural overhaul—but it didn’t need to be. By focusing on strategic upgrades and a clean, open layout, CPS helped Bella & Mango turn an old office-style space into a warm, photo-ready retail experience.

The Result: A Boutique That Shoppers (and Instagram) Love

The transformation speaks for itself. From the moment customers walk in, they're surrounded by color, character, and clever design details. Whether it’s the hot pink accent wall, peachy ottomans, or bold lemon curtain backdrops, everything feels curated—without feeling forced.

Thanks to our on-time delivery and polished finish work, Bella & Mango was able to open doors, fill racks, and welcome shoppers without delay. The space now functions as a true brand extension—clean, efficient, and bold in all the right ways.
