When furniture shopping, I tend to automatically start picturing the items that caught my attention in my space. I wonder if those candle holders will stand out on my credenza or if that swivel chair will blend well with my modern farmhouse decor. It's natural to wonder how something will look before making a purchase, so to bring a sense of real-life viewing into the digital shopping experience, popular retailer Etsy launched The Etsy House. It's the first-ever interactive, augmented-reality experience that allows you to tour a digital home filled with curated items from the platform. How cool is that?
Alongside this exciting release, Etsy also published its 2021 holiday trends guide. I'm always wondering what people are into, and as an editor, I love sharing that information. Scroll on to find out and to shop my favourite picks, just in time for holiday gifting.
