The Demand for Personalization in Furniture Shopping

Today's consumers seek products that reflect their individual style and meet their specific needs. In the furniture industry, this demand for personalization is reshaping the shopping experience. Custom, personalized configurations allow customers to design furniture pieces that align perfectly with their preferences and space requirements.

The Power of Custom, Personalized Configurations

Offering a range of customization options empowers customers to create furniture that suits their unique taste and functional needs. Whether it's selecting the upholstery material, adjusting the dimensions, or choosing the configuration of a sectional, personalized options enhance the shopping experience and increase customer satisfaction.

Leveraging the 3D Shopping Experience

A 3D shopping experience allows customers to interact with and visualize their personalized furniture choices in a virtual environment. This immersive experience helps customers make informed decisions, reducing uncertainty and increasing confidence in their purchase.

The Role of the 3D Furniture Viewer Tool

The 3D furniture viewer tool enables customers to view furniture pieces from multiple angles, zoom in to see details, and rotate the model to examine it closely. This tool provides a comprehensive understanding of the product, aiding in the decision-making process.


WebAR: Bringing Virtual Designs into the Real World

WebAR technology allows customers to place 3D models of furniture in their actual living spaces using their smartphone or tablet. This augmented reality experience provides a realistic preview of how a piece will look in the customer's home environment, enhancing the personalization aspect of the shopping experience.


Industry Trends: The Shift Towards Hybrid Shopping

A recent study found that 75% of consumers want to use 3D visualization whenever shopping for furniture, and 68% prefer shopping at retailers offering 3D visualization (PR Newswire). This indicates a significant shift towards hybrid shopping experiences that combine the convenience of online browsing with the immersive capabilities of 3D and AR technologies.
