How can I scan other room types with IKEA Kreativ?

If you are scanning a room that does not fit standard categories such as living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms or home offices, you can still get accurate results by using a Photographic Wide‑Angle scan.

Here’s how to effectively scan other room types:

Scanning other room types

  • Select Other Room Types when asked to choose a room to scan.

Best practices for scanning

  • Include part of the floor in your photos to ensure accurate measurements.
  • Stand back from walls and furniture to capture more of the room. Scanning from a corner or open space works best. Only move when prompted.
  • Start in a clear area so you can easily capture different angles.
  • Avoid clutter that may block the view—adjust items or your angle if needed.
  • Use good lighting. Well‑lit spaces help capture room details more accurately.
Following these tips during a Photographic Wide‑Angle scan helps you accurately capture rooms that don’t fit standard categories, so you can create custom spaces with confidence.
