About Yellow Verandah and the project
Yellow Verandah is an online store for luxury home decor. Its live site sells handcrafted wall art, sculptures, table decor, tableware, pots and baskets, lighting and furniture, with a design language that mixes vintage, bohemian and traditional Indian influences.
The store's own copy describes its pieces as handmade in small batches for homes that value craftsmanship over mass production. The footer lists a store address in Banjara Hills, Hyderabad, alongside customer care contact details and links to an inspiration look book.
Ackrolix's portfolio lists Yellow Verandah as a Shopify eCommerce project: an online store for luxury home decor built on Shopify.
For a decor brand, the storefront has to do two jobs at once. It needs to feel like a curated gallery so that visitors understand the craft behind each piece, and it needs to work as a practical shop with clear categories, cart and account access, and order support. The sections below walk through how the live store handles both.

02 / The project
A homepage that opens with craftsmanship
The homepage starts with a slim announcement bar and social links, followed by a clean header. The main menu is short and product-focused: Wall Decor and Table Decor (both with dropdowns), Sustainable Tableware, Furniture, Annual Sale and Gifts. Search, account and cart icons sit on the right.
Below the header, a full-width slideshow leads with a "Statement Sculptures" slide. Two carved, temple-style sculptures fill most of the frame, with a short line about fine craftsmanship and an Explore button on the left. The imagery does most of the talking, which suits a brand whose value lies in the detail of each handmade piece.

Top collections presented as a visual grid
A decorative scalloped border leads into "Discover our Top Collections." Two short paragraphs set out the brand's positioning: vintage and bohemian aesthetics, handmade treasures produced in small batches, and pieces meant to be both decorative and functional.
The collections follow in a three-column grid of tall image tiles. The first row shows Bespoke Wall Art, Divine Sculptures and Pots & Baskets. Each tile carries the brand's leaf emblem, the collection name, an item count and a View All button. Further rows on the page continue the same pattern for Table Artifacts, Sustainable Tableware and Furniture.
This layout lets a shopper scan the full range in a few seconds and jump straight into the category that matches what they are decorating.
04 / The project
New arrivals for returning shoppers
Decor shoppers often come back to see what is new, and the store gives fresh stock its own section. "New Arrivals" opens with a short invitation to explore recently added wall art, sculptures, table artifacts, table and dining pieces and lighting.
The layout pairs one large feature panel with a six-tile grid. The feature panel shows an illustrated bird with flowers, the line "We just launched these statement pieces" and a View All button. The smaller tiles show woven and rattan pendant lights, a carved horse figure and a pair of animal figurines, each photographed in a styled setting. Mixing one hero tile with smaller product tiles keeps the section from reading as a plain catalog.

Telling the brand story through two styles
Further down, a dark teal band introduces the store's two design directions. "We're Contemporary & Boho" describes a design approach rooted in India's heritage, colors and festivals, with a contemporary twist. "Classic & Traditional" talks about preserving local artisanal craftsmanship and building a home around personal roots and stories.
Each block has its own Explore button and a pair of styled photos: a live-edge wood table with orchids and a carved wooden cabinet for one, and lanterns, a brass lamp and candle holders for the other. Below this, a Blogs section shows three article cards on buying frames and mirrors, statement lighting, and decorative pots and baskets, each with an excerpt and a Read More button. An SEO text block, a newsletter sign-up and a footer with order tracking, returns and policy links complete the page.
06 / The project
Content that supports buying decisions
The blog area turns common decorating questions into shoppable guidance. The three visible posts cover choosing frames and mirrors for a wall, picking statement lights for living rooms and bedrooms, and styling decorative pots and baskets at home. Each card uses a bold illustrated cover image, a headline, a short excerpt and a Read More button.
For a decor store, this kind of content gives visitors ideas before they buy and gives search engines more relevant pages to index. It also links naturally back to the matching product categories.

Why Shopify suits a decor brand
Shopify gives a growing retail brand a hosted store with built-in product catalogs, collections, cart and checkout, customer accounts and order management. That lets the team spend its time on photography, merchandising and new collections rather than on running servers.
For Yellow Verandah, the visible store relies on exactly these building blocks: collection pages for each category, a new arrivals feed, a blog, newsletter sign-up and customer-service pages for tracking orders, returns and shipping. A theme-based storefront also makes it straightforward to update banners for seasonal sales and festive gifting.
For a brand planning a similar store, the early decisions are usually about structure: which collections deserve a place in the main menu, how products should be photographed so tiles look consistent, and which story sections help visitors understand the craft. Settling those first keeps the build focused and makes later seasonal updates easier.
