Hi there,
This is a good question! While only one theme can be active at a time on a WordPress site, there are ways to combine the styles of different themes into one, however, it does require some work and the assistance of a developer. Giving that the changes you’re trying to make are pretty complex, I encourage you to use a child theme. Here’s a guide on how to start:

Another way would be to have a multisite installation and run the website with a specific theme and have another website dedicated for the store. Then you’ll be able to use Storefront only on that site alone. So it would be something like this:
https://petersonsawmills.com/
https://store.petersonsawmills.com/
I hope this helps!
Cheers
Thanks for your feedback Robert, much appreciated
Alternatively, you could also look into installing a second instance of WordPress on a subdirectory. That way, instance A (with the original theme) will use the main URL, and instance B will be installed on the /store subdirectory (with Storefront).
Yet another approach would be to convert your existing WordPress website into a WordPress Multisite – this essentially allows you to run multiple WordPress sites within one “container” (each with their own themes). For more information on WordPress Multisite, have a look at the following guides:
Hi @mvanliempd,
I’ll go ahead and mark this post as resolved, as we haven’t heard back from you for a while. If you have any further questions or need additional help with the Storefront theme, please start a new thread and we’ll be able to help you out there. Thanks!
