What Home & Garden Shopify Stores Actually Use
The themes and apps of Home & Garden stores in our dataset of 3,500,000+ Shopify stores — from live scan data, refreshed daily.
Home & Garden Shopify stores in our dataset run a distinct mix of themes and apps. Below are the most-used themes, the most-installed apps, and the average app-stack size for Home & Garden stores — all from live storefront detection, not self-reported data.
Home & Garden stores by the numbers
Home and garden covers a wide range, from small decor and homeware to furniture and outdoor gear, but the stores share a common challenge: the products are visual and often considered purchases, so shoppers browse longer and need more reassurance before committing. That pushes these stores toward strong imagery, clear product information and heavy social proof.
In our live scans of Shopify home and garden stores, the leading themes are the same conversion-focused mainstays seen across ecommerce (Dawn, Horizon, Prestige and Shrine PRO), chosen for speed and flexibility rather than a category-specific look. The app stack leans on reviews (Judge.me, Loox) and email (Klaviyo), with PageFly appearing for custom landing and product pages, which fits a category where richer, more detailed pages help sell higher-consideration items. Everything below reflects software actually installed on these stores.
Our take: home and garden is a browse-heavy, higher-consideration category, and the data reflects it. Reviews apps sit at the top because a shopper buying a sofa, a rug or a set of tools wants proof from other buyers before spending. PageFly's presence is the tell that generic product pages often are not enough here: stores build richer, more detailed pages to explain materials, dimensions and use.
Our advice for a home or garden store: invest in photography and detailed product pages, back them with visible reviews, and treat email as the tool that brings slow-deciding shoppers back. A fast, flexible theme like the leaders here supports all of that without locking you into a rigid layout.

How this data works
Every figure comes from live detection: we scan Shopify storefronts, read the theme and apps each one actually runs, and classify the store by product category and business model. We report what is currently detected, not historical installs or Theme Store download counts.
Independent by design: rankings are determined solely by live detection data. Affiliate relationships never affect what ranks or how stores are counted. Read the full methodology →
