How to sell home decor online in five steps
Home buyers need to picture the piece in their own room. Each step says what to get right and where your store does the work.
Choose a style and a size range
Pick one look, such as warm wood and ceramics or dark modern pieces, and decide which sizes you can make and ship. Group pieces by room or material so buyers can browse the way they furnish.In Tanqory, finishes and sizes are variants of one product, grouped into collections by room or material.See how the catalog works
Make it or source it, and know the materials
Whether you build in a workshop or buy from makers, record the wood, glaze, fabric and finish of each piece. Furniture, lighting and textiles can carry safety and labelling rules, so check the rules where you sell.Tanqory tracks stock for every finish and location, and the assistant can draft a reorder for you to confirm.See how inventory works
Show scale, finish and the room
Photograph each piece on a plain ground for color, then in a room for scale, and add a close-up of the finish. Put the width, height, depth and weight in every description.AI writes product copy from your notes and edits product images, so dimensions and materials read the same on every listing.See AI product content
Price large pieces with delivery in mind
Add materials, making, packaging and your time, then payment costs and the real cost of delivering a large parcel. Compare with pieces of similar quality, and decide whether delivery is priced in or shown at checkout.Tanqory adds a 0% transaction fee with any payment provider you connect, so the margin you set is the margin you keep.See how payments work
Pack fragile and large pieces for the trip
Wrap ceramics and glass with room on every side, and crate or flat-pack large furniture. Tell buyers delivery times and how returns work for large items before they pay.Set shipping zones and rates in Tanqory, then compare carrier rates and print labels in the admin.See how shipping works
Your store
Open a home decor store that runs with you
The last step is the store itself. Three parts of Tanqory do most of the work, so the hours go into the product.

Selling home decor online: questions
Are there rules for selling home decor online?
Some products carry safety or labelling rules, for example lighting, upholstered furniture, candles and textiles. Check the rules where you sell before you list those pieces.
How do I price and ship large furniture?
Work out the real cost of packing and delivering each piece, then decide whether to include it in the price or show it at checkout. Tell buyers the delivery time before they pay.
Where can I sell home decor online?
In your own Tanqory store first, and from the same admin on Amazon, eBay, TikTok Shop, Facebook and Instagram, with product feeds to Google Merchant Center.
Does Tanqory take a cut of each sale?
No. Tanqory adds a 0% transaction fee on every plan with any payment provider you connect, and never marks up your provider's own rate.
Can I start with only a few products?
Yes. Start with the pieces you sell best and add more as you go; no plan limits how many products or orders you have.
