How is scanning my whole room different from snapping or uploading a photo of my room in IKEA Kreativ?
Whole room scanning and snapping or uploading a photo via Kreativ produce two different design experiences. See how to choose based on your device and project needs.
Whole Room Scan — creates an empty 3D version of your entire space, ready for you to furnish from scratch. Currently limited to LiDAR-enabled devices via the IKEA app.
Photo Snap & Upload — creates a photographic model from a single angle of your space, letting you erase your existing furniture, then add and swap in new pieces from the IKEA catalog.
