It can be frustrating to find the right furniture for your home. After all, you want it to match your interior design and feel comfortable to you.
In order to make the shopping process more interactive, there are a few furniture apps that use AR technology to visualize products in real spaces. These apps are great for designers and DIYers alike!
RueLaLa
RueLaLa is an online retailer that offers flash sales on women’s apparel, jewelry, bags and accessories. It also sells home goods and travel experiences.
The app features high-resolution product images, alerts when a brand is on sale, and an integrated checkout that saves members’ payment and shipping information for faster purchases. Its social media integration includes Facebook and Twitter, allowing members to share their shopping success.
Its return policy states that items must be unused, unworn, and in original condition with all tags still attached. Shoppers can return a product within 30 days of delivery, either via free shipping or merchandise credit.
The company ships to the 48 Contiguous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, P.O. boxes and APO/FPO addresses, as well as international orders to dozens of countries. Most domestic orders will take 2-7 business days to arrive, and international shipping costs can be calculated during the check-out process.
One Kings Lane
One Kings Lane is a luxury home decor and furniture sales website that offers its shoppers curated sales from elegant designers and brands at up to 70% off retail prices. The site features a mix of one-of-a-kind finds, exclusive collaborations and proprietary collections from designers such as Aero Studios, Visual Comfort and Aerin.
A pioneer in content-led commerce, One Kings Lane speaks to a highly engaged audience via a digital-first ecosystem. This includes in-house design services, social shopping, editorial and a seamless online shopping experience.
Founded by Ali Pincus and Susan Feldman, One Kings Lane started out as a flash sale site in 2009 but has since evolved into a full-fledged furniture and home accessories company with a mix of proprietary collections and collaborations. The brand recently expanded its physical retail presence with a shop in SoHo, New York.
Wayfair
Wayfair, a leading home goods and furniture retailer, has just introduced an augmented reality feature in its app. The app, which can be used on iOS and Android devices, lets shoppers visualize furniture and decor in their homes before they buy it.
The augmented reality tool overlays true-to-scale 3D digital versions of furniture into the live camera view of a room. This allows shoppers to see if the sofa they’re interested in will fit, without needing a measuring tape.
It also lets consumers create a three-dimensional room, so they can test out different configurations. This helps buyers decide which products will look best in their space and avoid rejecting a product because it doesn’t match the rest of their home decor.
The company also recently relaunched its sustainability filter options, which lets shoppers find products with 50 sustainable certifications. The new features are designed to make it easier for shoppers to choose products with environmentally friendly materials, says Derek Oliver, Wayfair’s global head of corporate responsibility.
Pepperfry
Pepperfry is an online furniture app that offers a variety of products to its users. The company’s product range includes furniture, home décor, and lamps & lighting.
According to Ambareesh Murty, co-founder of Pepperfry, India’s furniture market is expected to expand by 39% over the next five years.
This growth is attributed to rising consumer demand for homes that suit their functional and aesthetic needs.
The company’s customer segment comprises new-married couples, young working professionals, and bachelors who are setting up homes for the first time.
They are looking for a solution that is both simple and affordable, while making sure the quality of the product is not compromised. In addition, they want to avoid the hassles of visiting physical design studios and instead opt for a convenient, streamlined online process.
Gilt
Gilt is an online shopping app that offers a wide range of items. The site features curated sales and deals on designer fashion, accessories and home products.
Among its most interesting features are time-sensitive flash sales, which allow users to purchase goods at discounted prices. These flash sales make people want to buy a product as soon as it’s on sale and are a great way to drive business.
The app also offers exclusive products and experiences. It’s a good choice for people who prefer to shop on the go.
