Buying a rug online can feel like a gamble. You see a nice picture on a website, but will it look good in your home? Will the color match your furniture? Will the size fit your space?
Many people take a chance, buy the rug, and hope for the best. Sometimes they get lucky. Other times, the rug arrives, and it’s completely wrong. Maybe it’s too big. Maybe it’s too small. Maybe the color looks different in person. And now they have to return it, which is a huge hassle. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could see the rug in your actual room before buying it? Well, now you can.

Why Buying Rugs Online is So Hard
Rugs are one of the trickiest things to buy online. When you buy clothes, you usually know your size. When you buy a book, you know exactly what you’re getting. But rugs? Rugs depend on how they look in your specific space.
Here’s what makes rug shopping so difficult:
1. Colors Look Different on Screens
Have you ever ordered something online, only to find out the color is completely different in person? That happens a lot with rugs. A rug that looks beige on a website might look yellowish in real life. A dark blue rug might turn out to be lighter than expected. It depends on lighting, camera settings, and your screen’s brightness.
2. Size is Hard to Imagine
How big is 5x7 feet? Will an 8x10 rug fit in your living room, or will it be too big? Most people don’t walk around with a measuring tape, so they guess. And sometimes, they guess wrong.
3. Patterns Can Look Different in a Room
Some rugs have big, bold patterns that look great in a showroom but feel overwhelming in a small apartment. Others have subtle designs that might disappear in a large space. Until you see the rug in your actual room, you can’t be sure.
4. Returns Are a Huge Hassle
If a rug doesn’t work out, returning it is no fun. Rugs are big, heavy, and expensive to ship. Some stores charge restocking fees. Others don’t accept returns at all. Even if they do, rolling up the rug, packing it, and taking it to the post office is a pain.
IVE solves all of these problems.
How IVE Works – The Easiest Way to See a Rug in Your Space
IVE is a simple tool that lets you see a rug in your actual room before you buy it. It uses augmented reality (AR), but in a way that’s incredibly easy. No apps. No complicated setup. Just a button on the store’s website.
Here’s how it works:
For Shoppers:
- Go to a store’s website and find a rug you like.
- Click the "See in Your Room" button.
- Your phone or computer camera will turn on.
- The rug will appear on your floor, just like magic.
- Move it around, change the size, and see if it fits
That’s it. No apps. No downloads. No extra steps. Just a quick, easy way to check if a rug works for your space.
Super Easy for Shop Owners Too
If you run an online rug store, you might be wondering, "Is this hard to set up?" The answer is no.
Adding IVE to your store is as simple as copying and pasting a small piece of code. You don’t have to do anything for each product—it works automatically for all rugs.
