Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you wanted to completely remodel your home, but didn't have a clear vision of how it would all look? IKEA has listened to the needs of its customers and created the innovative IKEA Kreativ tool that will completely change the way you design your home. This advanced mixed reality technology allows you to realize your dream of the perfect home quickly, easily and directly from the comfort of your sofa.
A few days ago I sat down at the kitchen table surrounded by interior design magazines and a promising cup of coffee. A challenge lay before me: rearrange your living room, which has been calling for freshness for a long time.
Despite an abundance of inspiration from magazines and websites, my every attempt to visualize a new space dissolved into a fog of indecision. How would the couch look against that wall? Would a new bookshelf take up too much space? These were all questions that plagued me - until I came across IKEA Creative.
First steps with IKEA Kreativ
Excited, I opened the IKEA app and started exploring the new feature IKEA Creative. I was surprised by the ease of use. I quickly found an option IKEA Kreativ Scene Scanner™, which allowed me to transform my living room into a 3D space. After a few clicks and snapshots of my room, the app created a realistic model of my home.
And this is where the real fun has just begun.
Custom design
Once the model was ready, I could begin move, add and remove furniture in real time. I decided on a new sofa set and simply "placed" it in the 3D space. Finally, I could see how the new couch would fit with the existing furnishings. In addition, I was able to remove the old armchair that I no longer needed using the delete function.
The more I researched the options, the more excited I became. I tried different layouts, added decorative elements and carpets, until I found the perfect combination that met my aesthetic requirements. I felt like a real interior designer creating my masterpieces.
Interactive exhibition spaces
IKEA Creative offers more than 50 digital showrooms that allow a rich and intuitive exploration of IKEA products. These interactive galleries are designed so that customers can walk through different styles and layouts, just as they would in a physical store. Each showroom is full of inspiring ideas to help visualize how individual pieces of furniture fit into the space.
This was my favorite feature because I could tried different styles and layouts, without leaving the comfort of your home.
Sharing designs with loved ones
Once I was happy with the design, I saved it to my IKEA account. A big advantage of IKEA Kreativ is the ability to share designs with others. In this way, I was able to share my ideas with the family, who then gave me their opinion and additional suggestions.
It was the perfect way to get valuable feedback and improve my design even further.
How does the technology work?
For those of you wondering how this magic works: IKEA Kreativ uses advanced artificial intelligence and computer vision technology, which analyzes panoramic photos of your space. Thus, it creates a realistic 3D replica where you can move and replace furniture and experiment with different layouts.
When you edit your space with IKEA Kreativ, the app not only shows visual changes, but also prices of selected products. This means that you can see at any time how much a single piece of furniture or decoration costs, and you track the total price of the entire design. Once you are satisfied with the design, you can easily proceed to purchase directly from the app.
