Scale is now a product feature

Customers need to know whether a couch leaves space for a coffee table, TV unit, doorway and balcony route. Dimensions should be explained in plain language, not buried in specs.

Photos need context

Room-context images help buyers understand proportion. Product photos still need to show the real item, but educational imagery can teach customers how to judge scale.

Retailers can win with clarity

A furniture site that teaches customers how to measure and compare will often feel more trustworthy than a catalogue with beautiful photos but weak practical information.
