How does living room storage planning work?
IKEA's living room storage planning is a free planning service available both in-store and online. The planning appointment lasts approximately 45 minutes. You can also create a living room storage solution using one of our free online planning tools.
During your appointment, you will meet an IKEA living room storage specialist at your local IKEA store or online from the comfort of your home. The specialist will help you organise your living room with a tailored storage solution that fits your space, needs, and everyday life.
This is how it works:
- Get inspired. Spend some time browsing living room storage ideas to get inspired or start your own plan with our living room storage planners.
If you use one of our online planning tools to create your living room storage design, be sure to save the design code. You’ll need it to edit your plan later or to use it during a planning session with a Specialist. You can find your planning code at the end of the planning tool page by selecting 'Finalise'. If you prefer to receive a link or an email with your specific design and planning code, select 'Save for later' and follow the on‑screen steps. - Book an appointment. You can choose to book your appointment either online or at your nearest IKEA store.
- Measure your space. The IKEA planning specialist will need details about the space or room. Record measurements of height, width and depth as well as positions/dimensions of electrical outlets, doors, windows, etc.
- What do you need? Make a list of all your essential needs and wishes to create your dream space.
- Take pictures. A drawing or a photo of the space can be very useful.
- Need to reschedule/cancel your appointment? Follow the link in your confirmation email if you need to reschedule or cancel your planning appointment. Please do this at least 24 hours before the scheduled appointment.
- Discuss your dreams and wishes with an IKEA living room specialist during your appointment. You will receive a 3D plan and a shopping list with everything you need. The appointment will last approximately 45 minutes.
- Take time to assess the plan and next steps. You can make changes to the design if needed by accessing the plan that was sent to you via email. When you’re happy with the final plan, visit IKEA in-store or online to finalise your order.
