A virtual showroom for furniture stores: let customers see the room, not just the sofa
Furniture is bought in context. Customers want to know how a sofa sits with a rug, what a dining table looks like at room scale and whether the finish suits their home. A 360° showroom shows that context.
Single-product photos don't show scale or pairing
Catalogue pictures isolate each item. Customers then visit just to answer questions a room-set view could have answered, or never visit at all.
Room sets with the pieces tagged in place
Photograph your room sets and tag each sofa, table and lamp. Visitors open dimensions, materials and finishes without leaving the room.

Illustrative layout, not a customer's showroom.
What you can do
Dimensions and materials
Store specifications such as width, depth, height and finish, shown on the product card.
Variants
Fabric, colour or size options on the same product.
Room-set navigation
Link living, dining and bedroom areas the way a customer would walk them.
Shortlist for the visit
Customers send the pieces they liked so staff can have them ready.
How it works
Style the room sets
Arrange each set as you want it seen; the panorama shows everything.
Photograph
Capture each area as a 2:1 equirectangular panorama at a steady, eye-level height.
Tag products
Place hotspots on the items you want visitors to open, linked to your catalogue.
Preview and publish
Walk the tour as a visitor, resolve any flagged problems, then publish a shareable link.
Where it fits
Showroom floor
Walk-through of departments from sofas to storage.
Made-to-order ranges
Show the display piece and list the variants available.
Seasonal sets
Re-shoot just the scenes that changed.
Benefits
- Shows scale and pairing
- Dimension and finish details are one tap away
- Customers arrive with a shortlist
Limitations to know about
- Fabric colour and texture on a screen differ from the real thing, so invite customers to see samples
- A panorama does not let customers rearrange pieces
- Dimensions are only as accurate as the data you enter

360 Virtual Tour vs. Traditional Product Photography
Product photos and 360° tours do different jobs. This guide compares what each shows well, where each falls short and how to use them together.

Frequently asked questions
Can I show prices?
Optionally, per product. Leave them blank to invite an enquiry.
How many scenes do I need?
One per distinct room set or area is enough; more scenes do not make a better tour.
Can customers order online?
No. Immersiq captures enquiries; it is not a checkout.
