Room (with a) View

Last summer one of our customers suggested WIld Apple organize images by room setting (e.g. kitchen, bedroom, home office).  I actually listened.  I love the idea, because I'll bet (with no evidence or market research, of course) that when people are looking for art, more often than not they have a specific wall of their house in mind.  If consumers think that way, shouldn't retailers and framers -- and publishers?

It may have taken a while (there are a lot of images to categorize!), but it's up and running at http://www.wildapple.com/fineart/catsearch.asp.  It works best in conjunction another criterion (size, subject, style).  For instance, you can look for Oversized images for the Dining Room, or Floral images for the Bathroom.  Our hope is to offer one more relevant way of looking for art.

But remember, the room categories are just suggestions - you can put any image where you want it - it is your house, after all!
