Before you begin to add furniture from Ikea to the room, you will be asked to make a room plan, specifying the area of \u200b\u200bthe room, the location of doors, windows, batteries, etc.

Arrangement of the room

As soon as the preparation of the plan of the room will be completed, you can move to the most pleasant one - the placement of furniture. Here you will have to be a complete set of furniture from Ikea, which can be purchased in stores. Please note that the program support completed in 2008, so the furniture in the catalog is currently relevant for this year.

After completing the planning of the room, you always want to view a preview. In this case, a special 3D mode has been implemented in the program, which will consider from all sides created and equipped the room.

List of products

All furniture placed on your plan will be displayed in a special list, where its full name will be displayed, as well as the cost. This list, if necessary, can be saved to a computer or instantly printed.

Instant access to IKEA

The developers implies that you will use the Browser with an open web page of Ikea's open web page. That is why in the program to go to the site can be literally in one click.

Saving or printing a project

After completing the work on the creation of the project, the result can be saved to the computer as a file of the FPF format or immediately printed on the printer.

1. Outdated interface for current standards, which are slightly inconvenient;

IKEA Home Planner is a very simplified type of three-dimensional design system to create models of premises, elements of communications, furniture and other objects. To start working with her, it is not necessary to be a construction engineer.

First of all, you need to create a room plan in two-dimensional mode: specify its area, location of doors, windows, heating system, plumbing.
The next step is to accommodate furniture on the plan. All presented furniture model classes are stored in the IKEA HOME Planner library files. Moving the elements is done by dragging or indicating the coordinates on the plan.

For the best demonstration in the program there is a 3D-mode, when the flat drawing is turned on to a bulk project.

Real furniture

Until some moment on, the main chief of the planner from IKEA was the selection of actually existing furniture in the company's warehouses. The user could evaluate the future purchase and compare it with other options for any price category. But at the moment IKEA HOME Planner is not supported by the developers, and its libraries have not been updated since 2008.

Share creative glances

The final project can be saved in FPF or BMP format, after which it is printed. It is also possible to save the result in the IKEA cloud storage and the opening of general access to it. The third option is to print on paper developed by one key.

Screenshots

The XXI century with its developed technologies greatly simplifies life, both in everyday affairs and professional activities. Architects have not been using paper, pencil or ruler to create plans. Moreover, this process itself has become much easier, more productive and more interesting, recalling the game rather than painstaking work. Now everyone can think through the house of his dreams using free programs for interior design and planning an apartment. Do not know where to start? We will tell you!

1. Astronom design

You can start with the Astron program, which allows you to place items in the room with the desired parameters. This is not a multidisciplinary instrument for design, but the installed functionality is quite enough to think about projects.

You can choose your version of the key partitions, pre-specifying their dimensions. A little smoking or calculating everything to the smallest detail, in the created space you can place furniture, decor, and also decide on the location of the doors and windows. A relatively large catalog is enough for this.

2. Sketchup.

There are two versions of the program: paid, with advanced functionality for professionals, and free. But this does not mean that the second option provides limited opportunities to create renders.

With it, it will be possible to design high-quality three-dimensional design models, "playing" with planning, color, furniture. The only minus is a slight variety of objects, but they are easy to find on the Internet.

After downloading SketchUp, you can immediately start working, the benefit of the interface is very simple and understandable. An important tool is the ability to sign the dimensions of individual elements.

The finished render is placed on the network or vice versa - they are looking for inspiration there, studying other people's work.

What is curious, this program is suitable not only for the design of houses and apartments - with its help you can create three-dimensional models of the plot, road, car or other items.

3. SWEET HOME 3D

Maybe this program will not satisfy serious designers, but ordinary users can find it very useful and, most importantly, simple. In the creation of complex projects, SWEET HOME does not help, but small experiments with this application are easy to implement. For example, if you want to see how the wardrobe will look next to the sofa, and is it also worth putting a TV with this wall. Literally in five minutes you can easily draw the plan of the room.

Unfortunately, the installed directory of objects is not sufficiently large, not offering variations of forms, sizes or accessories. It could be a significant disadvantage if the missing items could not be downloaded on the official website, but this issue is easily solved. Sweet Home 3D is a foreign program, but for users who do not understand English, there is good news: there is a Russian version.

4. IKEA HOME PLANNER

If you think about buying furniture IKEA, then this free program will be for sure. It is very simple and understandable, allows you to consider the interior of rooms using furniture from the Dutch manufacturer. You can choose the necessary subject from the catalog, pickup size, style, accessories or color gamut.

IKEA catalog is quite extensive - from large sets to different trifles, which allows you to create a full-fledged interior, having calculated its value. IKEA Home Planner provides the ability to maintain the result of the work and place the purchase of all selected items. High-quality picture in the 3D format will help estimate the selected design in the details.

IKEA also has a separate design for designing a kitchen, which is called IKEA Kitchen Planner. The principle of operation is the same, but the choice of furniture specifically for these spaces is much wider, so we recommend downloading separately and this application.

5. HomeStyler.

Excellent program for interior design and planning an apartment from the creators of 3DS Max and AutoCAD.

Running homestyler, you must select one of the three proposed features: the interior from scratch, the use of the finished circuit or the finished project from the extensive gallery. At the same time, at your disposal there will be many options for finishing, color solutions and real objects of furniture, which are included in the catalogs of well-known brands.

6. Planoplan.

Another tool for creating interiors with real furniture from shops, instead of fictional models. Ways to work with the program of the whole three: online service, free demo version or paid for professionals. At the same time, Planoplan continues to constantly develop and update. Another advantage is the presence of the Russian interface.

Working on the interior of the apartment you can independently come up with a layout or choose standard options. There is a virtual tour function on the finished project with the ability to view on the smartphone.

Planoplan is suitable not only for generally planning, but also more detailed moments. For example, to trace how the shadow will move during the day, you can set up sunlight depending on the time of day. For many materials that you use for the interior, there are specifications. To understand all functions, there are video instructions on the site, which will clearly demonstrate the program management system.

7. PRO100

Unlike other online services and programs with a simple interface, you will have to spend a little time for the development of Pro100. This is a more professional application that allows you to transform each detail of the selected item: from texture to transparency. The demo version has limited functionality, but it is enough for the planning or sketch of it.

A curious property that is rarely found in free interior design programs and apartment layouts: the ability to independently draw any item, adjusting its shape, size or invoice, especially if you have goods from the store on commemorate. Before starting work, you need to specify the parameters of the room, after which you can design your dream house.

8. 3D interior design

This program offers a bulk catalog of furniture, finishing options and colors. Of course, the trial version limits real properties, but they are enough to create a high-quality render.

Create your own layout, specifying accurate parameters or selecting typical, which are constantly added to the program database.

A simple interface in Russian, which is important. On the finished project of the apartment you can "go through" using a virtual tour feature. 3D Planner offers to save the finished plan, edit it or print it.

In general, the product is not much different from the similar to it, but it is suitable for those who do not want to spend a lot of time on the development of a new planner.
