Concept: IKEA Planner

Tags: App Date: 2010/09/13

It’s a concept project that imagines how easy the IKEA shopping experience can be with the digital application if it provides dimension to my room.

---

Create a simple digital planner tool allowing users to set their floor plan so that IKEA furniture options can easily be part of their plan.

---

Current online-space generators provide too many tools to users. And it is challenging to create complex floor plans using the services.

---

Build floor plans with geometric shapes.

The floor plan, by combining shapes, is more effortless than outlining.

Users can build infinite shapes.

Scaling, rotating, and snapping shapes to the grid system saves the user time.

After the user assembles the master shape, Emplace automatically generates a floor plan according to the dimensions entered.

When the user drags a selected IKEA furniture, the application projects its footprint on the floor.

Red means stop. Notice the place button is disabled.

Users can save space planning time with the IKEA Planner app. Users also can update the plan anytime.

Buying furniture from IKEA is buying the living experience in your space. You can easily find paper measure tape in the stores because IKEA knows it is essential for customers to shop with accurate information about the room. Why not bring both room information and IKEA solutions to a digital medium? Visualizing space allows the user to pick the right fit and plan the living space holistically.

End.
