SWOT Analysis
Strength: The online home decor market provides buyers with a wide range of products from various brands in one convenient place. Customers can easily compare prices and make purchases from the comfort of their home. Online retailers also offer competitive pricing and frequent sales that attract cost-conscious buyers.

Returning large or bulky items also presents logistic challenges. Additionally, e-commerce sites lack the experiential element of browsing products in physical stores.
