Furnishing Your Home Is A Process…

It’s Emotional

Your home is a place where you feel a sense of togetherness with family and friends,  memories are created, and life changing moments are shared. Hipvan wants to be a part of these moments. Reaching out to an age group that typically goes through various transitional life stages and location shifts is at the forefront of the brand’s designs.

Have young kids?

Hipvan uses Vue.ai’s Recommendations to personalize the home furnishing experience by recommending products based on individual shoppers preferences. The Similar Recommendations on all their product pages- as seen in the image above uses key attributes like style, pattern, and color to understand user intent and displays options within the same category helping shoppers easily locate their favorite products on the site.   

It’s Who You Are

You want your home to represent who you are.  You want to show off your style, your vibe – you want it to be you. You also want ensembles that are suited for both a casual or upscale setting.  Hipvan encourages shoppers to pride themselves through their furniture.  You will find phrases like

“Your living room, your throne”  

“Brighten up your space with statement pieces”

 “Be classy, be fabulous!”

It’s Essential Living

The decision process for buying furniture requires a fair amount of thought and consideration, unlike shopping for your routine products. It is an investment. You want to furnish your home with functional and highly durable items that you can depend on, without having to burn a hole in your pocket. Furniture shoppers generally don’t have much prior experience to rely on and need to be ensured that their selections are of premium quality. Lucky for you – Hipvan’s collection checks all the boxes!

Captions like “Intelligent designs for everyday items” and “Maximize your bedroom space” seen below are commonplace on the site.
