5 ways to upgrade your home decor with Google Search

Google Search offers a variety of tools to help upgrade your home decor. One helpful feature is AI Mode in Search, which allows you to visualize furniture in your room by uploading a photo and asking for recommendations based on specific measurements. For instance, asking about couches that fit an 84-inch-wide living room can provide fitting options.

Additionally, Google Lens can be used to identify vintage items and find similar products within your price range, taking advantage of the year's increased interest in vintage decor. Circle to Search makes it easy to identify decor items featured in videos, social media, or web pages without switching apps. By long-pressing on the screen and circling the item of interest, you can view similar options or inquire about the product.

DIY enthusiasts can utilize Search Live to receive step-by-step guidance for installing floating shelves or other projects, by simply opening the Google app and tapping the Live icon for voice-activated instructions with visual context. Lastly, before purchasing decor items, utilize the price tracking feature to compare costs across stores and monitor price history to ensure you're getting the best deal.

Breakout searches for funky lamps and harlequin wallpaper highlight the popularity of these trends, so price comparisons can help in making informed decisions.
