In today’s article, we are going to round up the best free Shopify themes available in the Shopify theme store. Shopify allows you to quickly and easily create an eCommerce website or online store. Both premium and free Shopify themes come built in with all the features you need, such as credit card processing and a very powerful back-end. While there are many free Shopify themes, Shopify itself is a premium platform due to the plethora of powerful features it offers, as such it requires a low monthly subscription cost. This ensures that there is a development team constantly developing the software on which your online store runs, and because the fees are more than reasonable, Shopify is an online sales platform that is widely recommended. Let us now look at 21 free Shopify themes available at the Shopify store:
1. Brooklyn – Brooklyn
Brooklyn is a free Shopify theme that is geared towards apparel stores – stores that sell clothes. What we like about this theme is the nice (and quite convincing) full-screen background photo at the top of the page that showcases your apparel products. We also liked this theme’s clean design and a prominent call to action.

2. Pop – Toy
Pop is a free Shopify theme collection that includes a total of 2 free themes – Pop Bone and Pop Toy. What we like about Pop – Toy Shopify template is the “kid friendly” design, soft colors and a nice featured products section. The design itself is very simple, as it should be. Why make it convoluted and complicated?

3. Pop – Bone
Contrary to what your initial impression is, Pop – Bone has nothing to do with bones – but it does have to do with improving someone’s skin complexion. Pop – Bone is a free Shopify template that is geared towards pharmaceutical products. The design is very similar to Pop – Toy since Pop is a collection of 2 Shopify themes based on the same template structure. Like Pop – Toy, Bone has a simple design with a featured products section.

4. Solo – Solo
Solo is a free Shopify theme that is made for online furniture stores, although it can be used for any other online store (and so can all other free Shopify templates). Solo jumps straight to action by featuring a product catalog of furniture without any background graphics or images. If you are wondering how to create an online furniture store, or a store to sell furniture products in a specific niche, Solo may just be your theme.

5. Supply – Dark
Supply – Dark is a Shopify template that is free to use and features a jewelry store design. This theme shows a featured banner graphic that is prominently placed for all visitors to see, as well as product categories and individual products. The dark background works well for shiny and bright jewelry pieces, making it an ideal free Shopify theme for a jewelry store. We also really liked the prominently placed “Add to cart” button on individual product pages and the social sharing buttons seamlessly built into the listing pages.

6. Supply – Blue
Supply – Blue is theme #2 out of 3 total themes included for free with your installation of the Supply theme package. Supply – Blue focuses on a photography eCommerce store as it showcases and online store selling various cameras and accessories. Supply – Blue features slider with promo banners, a thumbnail-based list of categories and several featured item lists that can be easily placed on the home page. Overall, the design is very pleasing to the eyes and carries the same benefits as we’ve seen in other Supply themes – such as a well placed call to action button. What Supply theme collection lacks, however, is a better way to showcase the actual product images, as there is no zoom options on product images on the individual listing pages. Despite this drawback, Supply is an excellent choice of a free Shopify theme if you are looking to create a Photography eCommerce store – or any other store for that matter.

7. Supply – Soft Green
The final theme in Supply template collection, Soft Green is a theme that features various furniture products and can be an ideal Shopify theme to make a furniture online store. As it shares the design with the other 2 Supply themes, it has all of the features that we’ve mentioned in Supply – Dark and Supply – Blue Shopify themes. Soft Green shows us that while the individual product pages lack a zoom option for the product graphics, you can put multiple graphics for each product you are selling. Overall, this is an excellent free eCommerce theme for your furniture website.
