How do I scan other room types with IKEA Kreativ?

If you're scanning a room that doesn't fall into the typical categories like Living Rooms, Bedrooms, Dining Rooms, or Home Offices, you can still achieve accurate results with a Photographic Wide-Angle scan.

Here’s how to effectively scan other room types:

  1. Select "Other Room Types"
    When prompted to "Choose a room to scan," select the "Other Room Types" option to proceed.
  1. Keep These Best Practices in Mind:
  • Ensure Visible Floor: Make sure to include part of the floor in your photos and scans. This helps ensure accurate room measurements.
  • Stand Back from Walls and Objects: Capture more of the room by standing farther from walls and furniture. Ideally, scan from a corner or open space. Only move when prompted.
  • Start in a Clear Area: Begin scanning from a spot where you can easily step aside to capture other angles as needed.
  • Avoid Clutter: Remove any clutter that might block the view of the room. Adjust your angle or reposition items to get a clear scan.
  • Ensure Good Lighting: Bright, well-lit areas will help capture room details more accurately, so choose well-lit spots to scan.

By following these guidelines with your Photographic Wide-Angle scan, you can successfully capture the layout of rooms that don't fall into the standard categories, allowing you to create custom spaces with precision and confidence.
