In the world of home decor and furniture, discovering the perfect piece that aligns with your style and budget can feel like striking gold. But what if you could find a similar item—often referred to as a "dupe"—that looks just as great but costs significantly less? At Spoken, we're excited to introduce two powerful new features—Search by Image and Search by URL—that make finding these "dupes" easier than ever, helping you create your dream space without breaking the bank.

What Are "Dupes"?

A "dupe" (short for duplicate) is a product that closely resembles another, usually more expensive, item in appearance or function but is available at a lower price point. Dupes are especially popular in fashion and home decor, where trends often drive demand for specific styles. Unlike white-labeled products, which are essentially the same item sold under different brands, dupes are distinct products that may be produced by different manufacturers but are similar enough to provide the same aesthetic appeal or functionality at a fraction of the cost.

Dupes vs. White Labelling

Understanding the difference between dupes and white labeling is essential when shopping for home decor and furniture. White-labeled products are identical items sold by different brands under different names, often with slight variations in packaging or branding. Dupes, on the other hand, are not identical copies but are designed to mimic the look and feel of a more expensive product. This distinction is crucial because while white-labeled products offer the same quality under different names, dupes may differ in materials, craftsmanship, and durability, making it important to compare these aspects before making a purchase.

How to Find Furniture Dupes with Search by Image

Imagine you’re flipping through a magazine or scrolling through Instagram, and you come across a stunning piece of furniture—a velvet couch, for instance—that you absolutely love. However, the price tag is way out of your budget. This is where Spoken’s Search by Image feature comes in. Simply upload an image of the item into our search tool, and we’ll scour our database to find visually similar products that could be your perfect dupe. These results will include options from a variety of retailers, allowing you to compare prices and find a piece that fits both your style and budget.

How to Find Furniture Dupes with Search by URL

Similarly, if you find a piece of furniture on another website and want to see if you can find something similar for less, our Search by URL feature is your best friend. Just copy and paste the URL of the product into our search bar, and Spoken will present you with similar items that could serve as a more affordable alternative. This tool is perfect for savvy shoppers who want to ensure they’re getting the best deal possible without compromising on style.

Why Dupes Matter

Dupes allow you to achieve the high-end look you want for your home without paying high-end prices. By using our Search by Image and Search by URL features, you can uncover a wide range of options that you may not have found otherwise. Whether you're looking for a trendy piece of furniture that might go out of style in a few years, or you simply want to save money while decorating your space, finding a dupe is a smart, budget-friendly solution.
