IKEA Home Planner Editor's Review

Ever felt that somewhere deep inside you there’s a talented architect or interior designer just waiting for the right tools and the opportunity to shine? Well, thanks to IKEA Home Planner your waiting days are over.

IKEA Home Planner is a free, cloud-based application which affords you the opportunity to become a master of design and plan the kitchen and dining area of your dreams. With a choice of 2D and 3D views, IKEA Home Planner allows you to start with a bare room, or with one of Ikea’s pre-designed spaces and fill it with the IKEA kitchen and dining furniture of your choice.
You can select the room’s shape, measurements, where the rooms and windows go, and then add the cabinets, shelves and appliances. Once your kitchen is completed to your required specifications, you can print off the finished design or save it to IKEA’s server which enables you easy access of the final plans when you visit your nearest store. This function is pretty
impressive and invaluable because it allows you to purchase exactly what you want when the time comes to spending your pennies.

Pro's: This engaging piece of software allows you to craft professional looking designs and save yourself the time and trouble of consulting design specialists.

Con's: It doesn’t allow you to plan out your entire home and you are restricted to the kitchen and dining areas. Your designs are also limited to kitchens built with IKEA products.

Conclusion: Overall the IKEA Home Planner is a groovy little tool that allows you to design how you want your own kitchen to look, and as an added bonus it also tells you in specific detail how much everything is going to cost.
