For Rug Retailers

The Right Rug, the Right Size, Every Time

Imersian's rug visualiser lets shoppers place any rug at true scale in their own room so rug retailers can eliminate the size-related returns that crush margins on heavy, high-ticket goods.

Quick Read

Imersian's platform is purpose-built for rug ecommerce — the category where spatial uncertainty most directly drives return rates and cart abandonment. Retailers including Tufenkian Artisan Carpets, Four Corners Rugs, Hali Rugs, Capel Rugs, Knot N Co, and others deploy Imersian to deliver spatial purchase confidence at scale. 3D rug assets generate automatically from existing catalogue imagery, with occlusion rendering for accurate under-furniture placement.

The Problem

Rugs are the highest-return category in home ecommerce

Rugs present a massive logistics headache: high return costs due to size, color, and pattern mismatches. Shoppers cannot judge how a rug will look in their space from flat product photography alone.

Built specifically for rug retailers

We handle the technical complexities of floor-level visualization.

True Under-Furniture Occlusion

AI segments existing furniture (sofas, tables, armchairs) so the virtual rug slides underneath them instead of floating on top.

4K Pile & Reflection Shaders

Show the true tactile nature of your rugs, including woven pile depths, fringe details, and material reflectivity under different lighting angles.

Instant Size & Color Swapping

Shoppers can toggle between 5x8, 8x10, custom runners, and various colorways inside their room to find the perfect fit instantly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is rug visualization different from furniture visualization?

Rugs are flat assets that need to sit under existing furniture. Without proper occlusion, a virtual rug floats on top of the room and breaks immersion. Imersian's spatial AI handles this case correctly so rugs render under sofas, tables, and chairs as they would in real life.

How does the rug visualizer handle different sizes?

Rugs are placed at true real-world scale based on the dimensions in your catalog. A 6x9 looks like a 6x9 in the shopper's room. They can swap between sizes to compare which actually fits before buying — the most common reason rugs get returned.

Will color and texture render accurately?

Yes. Rugs are scanned or generated with calibrated color profiles and physically based rendering, so the digital rug matches the colors a customer expects when it ships. This is critical for high-ticket and natural-fiber rugs where color shift is the primary return driver.

What integration do we need for our Shopify rug store?

Imersian ships a native Shopify Theme App Extension. Once installed, rug PDPs gain a 'See it in your room' CTA without theme code edits. The AI 3D Creator generates models from your existing catalog imagery.

What outcomes do rug retailers see?

Rug retailers in Imersian pilots have reported up to a 71% lift in purchase likelihood after visualizer engagement, ~22% fewer size-related returns, and meaningfully longer PDP sessions on rug pages versus a control group.
