In todays era a brand cannot survive by thinking about digital interventions in isolation. It needs to look at the business and consumer ecosystem so that interventions are meaningfully planned in the journeys.

With carefully interpreted briefs for various interventions, we were able to attack all touchpoints and bring out the best out of each one. Fabric calculators, home ideas, seasonal themes and many other tools on mobility gave consumers content to engage meaningfully throughout the year.

home decor treated as fashion rather than once in a while activity

Home decor as an activity is considered as a one off activity every 4 - 5 years. This leaves the brand with absolutely no engagement post interior work. Ddecor approached it more like fashion and allowed digital channels to evangelise the seasonal flavours to drive engagement on a continuous basis.

screens and workflows designed to showcase content

Interior decor is a lifestyle activity and DDecor occupies the higher realms of this segment. The experience needed to showcase the product in its full glory while making decision making seem natural and intuitive. The design language chosen was minimal yet bold to not just showcase, but to enhance the product.

    Home design often is a family activity with everyone in the family having their own opinions and tastes. We brought the entire range of fabrics to a large table where a family can gather around and design together.

    The application allows the users to work in their areas of the screen simultaneously and bringing all the work together to compare and finalise. Handy drag and drop interactions make the entire experience not just easy to use, but also fun!
