Hello everyone,
I am currently focused on planning new furniture, especially with the Ikea PLATSA system, as I want to create flexible storage solutions for my apartment. My specific question is: Is there a dedicated Ikea PLATSA app for furniture planning that allows you to digitally assemble, customize, and visualize the pieces?
It is important to me that the app is as user-friendly as possible and includes the latest products from the PLATSA range. I have heard that Ikea offers a general planner app for kitchens or certain furniture categories, but is this also the case for PLATSA?
I would greatly appreciate any experiences, tips, or recommendations for an official or reliable third-party app. Thank you!

Oh yes, it’s really cool that you want to use PLATSA! 😊 I planned my storage room with PLATSA myself, and it’s really fun!
Keep at it, planning is already half the battle!
nofomu schrieb:That’s true, but the IKEA Home Planner works really well! There are also some third-party tools if you want to experiment, but they often lack the most up-to-date product selection.
There is no dedicated Ikea PLATSA app specifically for PLATSA.

To add to the previous information, I would like to mention the following: The IKEA PLATSA product range is very versatile and is regularly included in the IKEA Home Planner, although there are some limitations regarding detailed selection and the latest assortment.
For precise planning, there are two practical approaches:
- Online IKEA Home Planner: This tool allows 3D visualization and is based on the current product range, but its performance depends on the browser and internet connection.
- Offline software or CAD programs: When very exact measurements and custom adjustments are required, some users use CAD-based programs that can import furniture data (e.g., via IKEA PDFs or 3D models from forums).
However, it should be noted that there is no official, standalone PLATSA app released by IKEA. The range is usually integrated into the general IKEA planner app.
It is also worth noting that the kitchen app is often more comprehensive and better maintained, while with PLATSA, occasional manual adjustments may still be necessary, for example, for cutouts or connecting pieces.
If your planning becomes more complex, it might be useful to take exact measurements and, if necessary, remodel the furniture in an external program before finally deciding on the IKEA configuration.
Best regards.

I’d like to share a brief guide on how to work effectively with the Ikea Home Planner for PLATSA:
- Step 1: Visit the Ikea website or install the Ikea Planner app
- Step 2: Select “PLATSA” from the product category, if available
- Step 3: Enter the room dimensions accurately so the planning fits later
- Step 4: Choose and customize furniture pieces one by one (height, width, depth)
- Step 5: Check the arrangement and combination of modules and adjust spacing if needed
- Step 6: Save or print the result for your shopping
Important: Since the product database is updated frequently, it’s advisable to keep the app or planner updated regularly or work online.
If you want to make specific customizations that the planner doesn’t cover, it’s helpful to supplement the design with hand sketches.
A common mistake is forgetting to plan the door opening direction — be sure to pay attention to that.
If anyone has tips on using the app, please feel free to share!
