Closing the Showroom-to-Online Gap for Furniture Retailers
Furniture is bought on scale and feel. A product photo destroys both.

Furniture is bought on scale and feel, both of which are destroyed by a product photograph on a white background. A customer needs to see the sofa in a room to judge whether it's actually right, which is exactly what your showroom does in person and exactly what a normal website fails to reproduce.
A tour of your room sets lets a customer browse online the way they would in store, seeing pieces in context and at proper scale, which is what moves them from browsing to actually booking a visit.
- Shows pieces in room sets at proper scale, not isolated on a white background
- Lets customers browse the way they would in store, before ever visiting
- Turns a browsing visit into a buying one, because they arrive already knowing what they want
- Most furniture showrooms need our Large tier at £950, depending on floor area
Why a tour beats product photography here
A sofa shot on a white background communicates almost nothing about whether it suits a room: not its scale against a doorway, not how the fabric reads under real light, not whether it overwhelms a smaller space. A room set answers all of that at once, and a tour lets a customer walk between several of them the way they would on your shop floor.
The filtering effect
Someone who's walked your showroom online arrives at your actual showroom already knowing roughly what they want, which range, roughly which pieces, sometimes an exact model. That turns what would have been a browsing visit into a buying one, and it shortens the conversation your floor staff have to have from scratch.
What to capture and what it costs
Every distinct room set, plus any dedicated areas like a mattress or fabric selection zone. Most furniture showrooms fit our Large tier at £950, though a smaller single-floor showroom can land in Medium at £825. With an enhanced tour, hotspots can carry product details and prices directly on individual pieces, linking through to your website.

How much does a furniture showroom tour cost?
From £825 for up to 20 scenes, or £950 for larger showrooms. All prices are plus VAT.
What furniture showrooms clients book
