Client Background

A national furniture brand serving both retail and wholesale markets. Their Shopify storefront caters to interior designers, distributors, and large-scale buyers who rely on visual context for purchasing.

Problem

B2B buyers and designers needed a faster way to discover and purchase complementary furniture sets. The standard collection browsing flow was too slow and siloed for this audience.

The Solution

We designed and built a dynamic “Shop by Room” feature. It allowed users to view full room layouts, click product hotspots, and add entire coordinated sets to cart — all from one visual interface.

Challenges

  • Designing an interactive UI that worked across breakpoints
  • Syncing hotspots with real products and variant data
  • Making it easy to update layouts without hard coding
  • Creating mobile-first logic for popovers and tooltips
  • Managing layout and content for different room types

Approach

  • Discovery & Planning: Identified key buyer behaviors and merchandising priorities
  • Hotspot Design: Created a flexible system to visually tag products on room layouts
  • Dynamic Tooltip Build: Developed popovers showing product info, price, and quick actions
  • Room Logic: Implemented logic to show different looks/menus based on user selection
  • Mobile Optimization: Adapted UX for touch interfaces with collapsible menus
  • QA & Live Deployment: Tested with real SKUs and launched after client demos and sign-off

Results

  • Full room collections now shoppable from one page
  • Buyers can add items instantly
  • Optimized for desktop and mobile shoppers
  • Hotspots and layouts are easy for client to update
