A furniture store selling lamps, with every lamp switched on
In a furniture store, the lamp tags along with the sofa, the table or the bed. Show it in a room by day and at night with the light on, and it stops being a last-minute add-on.
In short
A furniture store selling lamps does better with them when customers see each one in a finished room, switched on. Lucy builds a showroom of your lamps with each one by day and at night, WhatsApp enquiries, a QR code for the sales floor and TV mode for a screen, for US$20 a month. It shows lamps, not your furniture.
What happens to lamps in a furniture store
They get bought last
Customers come in for the table or the sofa, and the lamp comes up as they are closing the purchase. If they cannot see it in context, they leave it for later.
The sales floor is evenly lit
A furniture store needs strong overhead light to show its pieces. Under that light, no lamp looks its best switched on.
Sizes are hard to picture
Someone buying a six-foot dining table has no idea what size pendant goes above it, and the decision gets put off.
Lamps fall out of the catalog
Often the furniture catalog leaves them out or puts them on a separate page, with no room setting and no price.

Bring it to the sales floor
Print the QR code and place it by tables and sofas, and run TV mode on a screen so the lamps are seen lit even under the store's lights.
A furniture store selling lamps needs to show them lit
Furniture makes sense under the store's lights. Lamps do not, because their job starts when the other lights go off. Showing each lamp at night, switched on in a room, gives the customer the picture they are missing to add it to the order.
Lucy handles that with two scenes per lamp and a switch. On the sales floor, TV mode takes each lamp from day to night on a screen. On their phone, customers open the showroom from the QR code and keep browsing at home.
Sizing rules that help sell the lamp with the furniture
A few common rules help staff recommend with confidence. A pendant over a dining table usually hangs 28 to 34 inches above the tabletop, and its width works well at one half to two thirds of the table's width. A reading floor lamp goes beside the armchair, with the shade at about shoulder height for someone seated.
Enter each lamp's dimensions. They appear on the product page next to the scenes, so a salesperson can recommend the right pendant for the table the customer just picked.
What Lucy shows and what it does not
Lucy is a lamp showroom. Your furniture does not appear in the scenes. The sofas, tables and shelves around each lamp are part of the room setting, not your catalog.
If you want to show furniture, keep it on your website or in your current catalog and link the lamp showroom from there. There is no checkout or stock either. Customers ask on WhatsApp and the sale closes on the floor or by message.
Frequently asked questions
Can I add my furniture to Lucy?
No. Lucy is built for table, floor, ceiling and wall lamps, and every scene is built around the lamp switched on. Your furniture stays in your usual catalog, and you can link the lamp showroom from there.
Can the QR code open a specific lamp?
The QR code Lucy creates opens your store's full showroom, which has search. To send someone to one particular lamp, share that lamp's link with the share button on its product page.
What do I need for TV mode?
A screen with a web browser, such as a TV connected to a computer. Open TV mode from your dashboard and it goes full screen, cycling through your lamps by day and lit, with name and price, every few seconds.
What does it cost a furniture store?
US$20 a month, the same plan as any store. It includes the Lucy team loading your lamps, unlimited products, the QR code, TV mode, WhatsApp enquiries and analytics. There are no charges per image, and you can cancel anytime.
