Design the Home of Your Dreams
thegreatindoors.com is organized to allow consumers to shop by room or category. The rooms featured are the four main areas of the home: great bedrooms, great bathrooms, great rooms and great kitchens. Using beautiful, high-resolution photography, the site features striking lifestyle product images for each room, in a multitude of styles, to inspire and guide shoppers with design taste of any kind. The "enlarge" feature allows customers to clearly see the details of each product, from the weave in the fabric to the frosting on glass sconces.
The site also allows customers to quickly shop through the thousands of products by specific category, brand or a simple "search."
For example, customers can find what they`re looking for through 10 product categories including major appliances, bath products, bed coverings, decorative plumbing, lighting, housewares, table-top items, window coverings, home electronics and decorative accessories.
Additionally, customers can search by brand to find a broad range of well-known and trusted names. From Wamsutta fashion bedding to Whirlpool dishwashers and Calphalon cookware, and from Bose entertainment systems and Royal Velvet bath towels to Kohler bath fixtures, the site offers a vast array of the best names in the home business - all at great prices and in one convenient place.
"thegreatindoors.com is always open, which is extremely convenient for today`s time-crunched consumer," Yung continued. "We offer online shoppers of every budget anything they might need for just about any home decorating project, easily accessible at any time of the day or night."
The Tools of Inspiration
A wealth of tips and useful information is also available at thegreatindoors.com for homeowners ready to embark on a project of any size. The site`s Design Center includes "how-to`s" for every room in the house, as well as decorating tips and fun interactive design tools. The "Change My Cabinet Knobs" feature enables shoppers to experiment with different knobs to see how a simple change can revitalize a cabinet or drawer. With more than 500 cabinet knobs to choose from, customers are sure to find just the right style for their home.
Shoppers can also establish their own, personalized online portfolio using the "Scrapbook" and "Wish List" features. Just as people love to collect pages from magazines to get design ideas, the "Scrapbook" allows customers to gather images of the products they like from the site and organize them into folders. As a result, they have a ready reference that saves them time when planning the decorating elements for a room.
Everyone has a never-ending list of "must-haves" for their home décor. Using the "Wish List" function, customers can organize those "must-haves" by any occasion, and then e-mail the list to friends and loved ones so that they can easily find the perfect gift.
thegreatindoors.com even offers outlet shopping at its easiest. Available online only, the "great outlet" features savings on many products.
"This site enables people to see dozens of decorating styles and select from more than 10,000 products from the comfort of their home," said Yung. "thegreatindoors.com is a tremendous resource that makes it easy for customers to find the products that suit their tastes and have them conveniently delivered right to their doorstep."
thegreatindoors.com launched in February 2001 and will be adding new features, products and categories to the site based on feedback it receives from customers.
