Pinterest Introduces Try On for Home Decor to Make Home Decor Purchases Easier

Last November, Pinterest announced TwoTwenty, an experimental product development team. In December, the company acquired Vochi, a video-creation and editing app. Today, Pinterest is once again making waves by introducing Try On for Home Decor.

Try On for Home Decor is a new method for Pinners to use augmented reality to buy for home decor inspiration they discover on Pinterest. Pinterest’s newest AR technology allows Pinners to digitally put things from US shops such as Crate & Barrel, CB2, Walmart, West Elm, and Wayfair in their homes and trial before they purchase using the Pinterest Lens camera.

Here’s what Joan King – SVP, eCommerce, & International Operations of Crate & Barrel and CB2 – had to say:

Customers look to Crate & Barrel and CB2 to find unique pieces, built to last a lifetime. We understand that the path to purchase is not always linear, especially when it comes to furniture. Pinterest’s Try On For Home Décor tool, is one of many examples of how our brands are exploring innovative solutions to make this journey as intuitive as possible by bridging the gap between virtual commerce and reality.
