IKEA Place: Visualize Furniture in Your Home with AR Before Buying

Navigating Ikea's aisles feels like wandering through a wonderland. The beautifully staged bedrooms, living rooms, and kitchens ignite inspiration for your own home. Yet, our spaces often differ from these displays, leading to impulse purchases we regret once home ('That mustard yellow sofa looked perfect in the store!' Sound familiar?). To eliminate these mishaps, IKEA launched IKEA Place, a cutting-edge augmented reality app that projects furniture into your space before you buy. Smart move!

Launching Fall 2017

IKEA Place lets you position sofas, beds, shelves, tables, and more in any room. Just point your phone—the item appears at true-to-scale, allowing you to zoom in or out for a perfect fit assessment. Skip unnecessary store trips and save time! The app arrives with the iOS 11 update in October 2017. Ready to redesign your home Sims-style? Get set to play interior designer!
