Williams-Sonoma combines design ideas and online shopping with Potterybarn.com 

Pottery Barn, a division of Williams-Sonoma, has launched a new website that blends online shopping with interior design, offering seasonal ideas on furnishing a home through a pictorial tour of the Pottery Barn designer house.

Special features:

Home Tour: visitors can take a home tour that highlights product and design ideas for the season. A new home is redecorated from scratch each season, showing multiple views of rooms to reveal a full perspective on the design approach. This feature also offers tips and hints on recreating some of the ideas in any home; from selecting a window treatment to creating a photo gallery.

Design Studio: this feature is a consumer resource for inspiration, ideas and information. Categories such as "Design Guide'', "How To's'', "Product Care'' and "Collections,'' offer a variety of options including a glossary of terms, instructions for mastering design problems such as how to slipcover a loveseat, and a method for ordering swatches of material from the home furnishings collections.

Items ordered online can be returned through the mail or at any Pottery Barn retail store.
