Julia Charles Event Management recently collaborated with Homary UK on the launch of their brand-new store in London.

This store launch event was a crucial moment for the brand, as they introduced a new showroom in the UK’s capital.

Located in the prestigious Chiswick, London, the store is perfectly placed to appeal to local homeowners, making it an ideal location for a retail activation and experiential store launch in the UK, as well as being a fantastic destination for visitors.

Here’s an insight into the unique experience our team curated through our expert event management services for the brand’s opening store launch day.

Who are Homary?

Homary UK are a global online retailer and design curator who specialise in affordable luxury furniture, lighting, and home décor.

Offering stylish home solutions, this online marketplace connects consumers to manufacturers. With physical showrooms in London and Birmingham.

The Brief

A clean, well-run store launch event with professional delivery and minimal risk was key for the Homary Store Launch in Chiswick, London. As part of our full event management UK approach, we ensured the launch aligned with their brand.

n keeping with their sleek and warm brand, this store launch and retail activation had to feel manicured and stylish, yet fun and interactive.

What We Delivered

Our event services team ensured the full smooth operation of the opening day, including:

Pre-event planning & timeframe refinement
Opening day run-show-creation
On-site event manager for the opening day
Management of guest glow, CIP handling, and consultation pacing
Workshop coordination
Post-event debrief

As part of the unique experience at the Homary store launch, we provided key production elements, including print and brand touch points throughout the space.

This included printed welcome boards and easel signage positioned at key entry points to:

Introduce the showroom experience
Set expectations for interactive elements at the store launch event
Guide guests through the journey

It was crucial that all messaging was an open invitation, rather than an instruction, encouraging exploration of the open space rather than a specific direction for guests, ensuring a spaced-out event flow and seamless retail activation experience.

As well as this, we ensured the store entrance was a stand-out feature with a non-brand balloon arch to greet guests through the door.

We also provided various print and graphics for the unique interior designers’ concept discussed in more detail below.

What Was Unique About the Store Launch?

Homary wanted something unique to draw guests into the home design buying experience during this store launch in London.

So our professional event director, Michael, came up with the human-led concept of ‘Interior Designers,’ as part of a creative event concept approach.

Interior Designers Concept

Acting as brand ambassadors during the store launch event, designers guided guests through the showroom, supporting a highly engaging retail activation experience.

Whilst showing guests around the store space, these trusted interior designers translated Homary’s product range into real, practical solutions for British homes, enhancing the overall store launch experience.

The interior designers were supported with eye-catching, on-brand printed overview boards explaining the experience to guests.

The Experience

Small groups of guests were invited to join a guided showroom walkthrough as part of this immersive store launch activation.

It was key that the experience did not feel like a sales pitch, but instead a natural, supportive and engaging store launch event.

During the experience, guests were introduced to key areas of the showroom, explaining how Homary products can be used in:

Apartments
Townhouses
Traditional UK homes

This retail activation experience needed to be targeted towards local homebuyers, with London at the core of this, offering practical advice on:

Layout and zoning
Storage solutions
Styling and layering
Maximising smaller spaces

Homary’s MBTI Lifestyle Model

We also ensured to incorporate Homary’s unique MBTI lifestyle integration model into the store launch event, as a way of helping guests understand how different personalities and lifestyles influence furniture choices.

Applying this in an accessible, lifestyle-led terminology. For example, ‘calm minimalists seeking simplicity’ and ‘comfort or creative thinkers drawn to flexible and expressive spaces.’

To support this, we designed a suite of lifestyle cards with personality types and discreet stand graphics positioned throughout the showroom. Showcasing how lifestyle translates into furniture choices, highlighting key product features, rather than any heavy technical jargon.

With this approach, guests were helped to see how Homary products align with their own way of living.

This journey through the store led naturally into the complementary interactive experiences.

Feedback across social media was overwhelmingly positive, with visitors praising the blend of luxury styling, warm atmosphere, and personalised approach. Including home styling influencers!
