Brand Tone

Aspirational & Inspiring, Helpful & Guiding, Quality-Conscious & Value-Oriented, Modern & On-Trend, Friendly & Approachable.

Brand Values

• •Style & Aesthetics: A core focus on providing furniture that is visually appealing, modern, and helps customers create a stylish home.
• •Affordability & Value: Offering trendy and luxurious-feeling designs at accessible price points.
• •Customer Empowerment: Believing in the "inner designer" in everyone and providing tools and products for personal expression in home decor.
• •Quality (within its price bracket): Aiming for "satisfying quality" and "durable construction" for the value offered.
• •Ease & Convenience: Products often designed for easy assembly; free shipping is offered.

Best Practices

• •Always Emphasize "Affordable Luxury": Continuously balance the aspirational (luxury, elevated, designer-inspired) with the practical (affordable, value, easy).
• •Empower the Customer: Use language that makes the customer feel like the designer. Focus on "your vision," "your style," and helping them "create" and "express."
• •Maintain a Visually Clean and Aspirational Aesthetic: Ensure all imagery aligns with the "elevated" and "on-trend" messaging. Product photography should be high-quality and showcase items in inspiring settings.
• •Be Solution-Oriented and Helpful: Frame product descriptions and content around solving design challenges or making style accessible (e.g., "easy to assemble," "connect the design dots").
• •Use Positive and Inviting Language: Words like "love," "dream," "beautiful," "inspire," and "timeless" should be woven into the copy to create an inviting and positive brand association.

Social Perception

Generally Positive: Customers often appreciate the style, affordability, and ease of assembly. The brand is seen as a legitimate option for stylish, budget-friendly furniture. Expectation Management: Some customers experience a disconnect between the "luxury" aspiration and the actual product quality in certain instances, which is a common challenge for brands in the affordable luxury segment. Retailer Dependent: Perception is heavily influenced by experiences on third-party retailer sites where many of their products are sold.
