Google Shopping Tip
Lens Your Dream Decor: Let's say you see a couch you love in a store and the silhouette is perfect, but the colour doesn't work with your living room. Just take a photo with Lens and add words to narrow your search, like "floral" or "corduroy." Or perhaps you love the style, but it's too big for your space, and you'd rather find something smaller — you can add "chair" to find options that better match your vision (and your apartment size).
