E-commerce · Furniture, home and living
People like your pieces in the photograph and are afraid of how they will look at home.
Décor is bought with the eye and returned for the tape measure. The buyer sees a brass vase against a grey wall in a styled photograph, imagines it on their own shelf, and finds a week later, in their own home, that it is twice the size they pictured. Or the rug is the wrong red under their lights. Or the mirror arrived in four pieces.
A 90-minute audit call and a written, scored report. Turnaround, reporting and term are agreed in writing after the audit.
In one paragraph
Home décor e-commerce is the online sale of wall art, mirrors, decorative objects, rugs, curtains and clocks to people furnishing a room they already live in. GullySales works on how your pages show scale and colour in a real room, how breakage and size mistakes are kept off the return list, and how a buyer who bought one piece is brought back for the next.
So the work in this segment is less about getting people to look and more about helping them judge. Size next to a sofa, colour in an Indian home with warm bulbs, a room they can see themselves in. Many buyers are also gifting, for housewarmings, weddings and Diwali, which changes what a page has to say.

6 types of product
Each kind of home décor sells differently, so each has its own page.
Open the one that matches what you sell. It covers who buys it, where the sale is lost and what we would do.
- Wall ArtA print that looks right on a screen can look wrong on the wall above the sofa.
- MirrorsA mirror is only worth ordering if it arrives whole and hangs straight.
- Decorative ObjectsShowpieces are bought as gifts first and for the shelf second.
- RugsA rug is the biggest thing in the room that the buyer cannot touch before ordering.
- CurtainsCurtains are ordered by window size, and the buyer is never sure they measured it right.
- ClocksA wall clock is bought for how it looks and returned for how loud it ticks.
Who it is for
This is written for you if you sell home décor online.
- Home décor brands selling through their own store and Instagram
- Artisans and craft houses moving from exhibitions to online orders
- Marketplace sellers of rugs, clocks, mirrors and decorative objects
- Manufacturers of curtains and wall art selling direct to homes
- Interior shops that want an online counter next to the walk-in one
Not for
It is not the right fit if.
- A seller whose listing photographs are all stock images of pieces they do not make
- A business that has no way to pack glass and ceramic safely and wants to ship them anyway
How buyers choose
What decides who wins in home décor.
Size against something familiar
The buyer measures the wall, the shelf, the window. Dimensions in inches or feet, with a picture next to a sofa or a door, are what they look for before colour.
Colour and finish in their own light
The same piece looks different under a white tube and under warm bulbs. Buyers read reviews with photographs to see how it looks in a real home.
Material and weight
Ceramic, resin, brass, wood, jute, cotton. The material tells the buyer what it will cost to keep and whether it will break.
Packaging and what happens if it breaks
For glass, ceramic and frames the question comes before the order: how is it packed, and who pays if it arrives broken.
Where sales are lost
What usually goes wrong when you sell home décor online.
In the words sellers use on the first call.
“It arrives broken and the buyer is furious”
Breakage turns into a refund, a reshipment and a bad review at once. The cost sits in the packing and in the claim process, and neither is visible on the page.
“Customers say it looks smaller in person”
A styled photograph has no scale. The buyer saw a large piece and received a small one, though the listing gave the size.
“People save pieces and do not buy”
Décor is browsed for ideas. A buyer who is still planning a room has not decided on anything, and nothing brings them back when they are ready.
The scope
The work we would propose for home décor.
Measured on purchases, conversion rate, cost to win a customer, average order value and repeat purchases. Anything here that needs a platform or tool we have not used with you is confirmed in the audit before it goes in the scope.
- Room photography and scale picturesA set of photographs for each piece: on its own, in a room with a known object, and with a hand or tape for scale.
- Search by room and styleCollection pages for how buyers search: wall decor for a living room, mirrors for a small hallway, rugs for a bedroom, Diwali gifts for a new home.
- Instagram and Pinterest as the first lookA content plan around rooms, not products, with each post linking to the piece and its size.
- Retargeting and a second-piece offerVisitors who saved a piece are reminded with the size and room they looked at. Buyers are shown companion pieces for the same room.
Packaging and breakage claims
A review of how fragile pieces are packed and how claims are handled, so the page can promise something specific and keep to it.
What we do
What you get for home décor.
Each deliverable and what it is there to change.
A size-in-room guide for each piece
Dimensions with a photograph beside a sofa, a bed or a door, so buyers see how big it is before ordering.
A colour and light note
A short line on how each piece looks under warm and white light, with a photograph taken in each, so colour surprises drop.
A fragile-shipping page
How glass, ceramic and frames are packed, what to do if one arrives broken, and what photographs to send.
Room-based collections
Living room, bedroom, entrance and balcony pages that group your pieces the way buyers shop, with links into each.
How the result is measured
- Purchases
- Conversion rate
- Customer acquisition cost
- Average order value
- Repeat purchase rate
- Breakage and damage claims per order shipped
Recorded as a baseline before work starts, so every later report has an honest comparison.
How it works

First
Free audit call

Before work starts
Baseline recorded
Enquiries by source, reply time, conversion and cost per order, written down so every later report has an honest comparison.
After the baseline
The first fix goes live
Usually the cheapest one on the report: reply time, a follow-up sequence or the marketing-to-sales handover.
As agreed
Report against the baseline
What moved, what did not, and what changes next, in plain words. How often you get it is set in writing before work starts.
At renewal
Renew on the numbers
The term ends and you decide whether to continue from the results. The length is agreed in writing before anything starts.
What the work involves for home décor
- 1
Follow one piece from photograph to doorstep
In the free audit we take a best-selling piece through search, page, order and delivery, and read the returns and breakage claims on it.
- 2
Fix scale, colour and packing on the pages
Size in a room, colour in two lights and how it is packed go on the pages that already get visitors.
- 3
Build the room collections
Pages and posts by room and occasion, so buyers shopping for a living room find three pieces rather than one.
- 4
Bring buyers back for the second piece
Messages to earlier buyers with companion pieces and gifting dates, with a baseline of purchases and claims recorded first.
- 5
Measure against the baseline
The reporting rhythm is written down after the audit. Purchases, claims and returns are set against the starting figures, piece by piece.
What we need from you
What to have ready before the audit call.
None of it has to be tidy. We read what you have.
- Links to your store, your marketplace listings and your Instagram page
- Best-selling pieces and the ones with most returns
- Breakage and damage claims, with the category and packaging used
- Questions customers ask about size and colour
- Recent ad spend and which posts sold
Selling in India and abroad
Selling home décor beyond your own market.
Where you sell decides sizes, units, seasons and returns. We work from Bengaluru and have no overseas office, so for a new country we start from your own sales and the platforms you already use.
NRI homes and gift orders
A family in Dubai or Singapore buying handcrafted pieces is decorating a flat that feels too bare. Their buying seasons include Diwali and housewarmings, and their rooms are different sizes from ours.
Fragile goods and duty
Overseas freight on glass, ceramic and rugs is costly, duty varies by country and breakage claims cross borders slowly. Start with your own sales data on which countries already order.

Why us
Why owners pick GullySales over an agency.

No account managers in between. You are never handed to someone you have not met.
A baseline before anything starts
Your numbers are written down on day one, so every later report compares against something honest.
The fee in writing, split three ways
Our time, your media spend and production on separate lines. You always see what goes to us.

The term is agreed in writing and never a default twelve months. We never promise a ranking or a lead count, because nobody controls those.
One office, and we say so
