OpenKitchen3D vs. IKEA Kitchen Planner
IKEA's online 3D kitchen planner lets shoppers design with IKEA's kitchen system, see real-time pricing and hand the plan to IKEA staff for help and purchase.
What IKEA Kitchen Planner does well
- ●Inspiration-first templates and a guided consumer experience
- ●Designs constrained to IKEA products, so plans are purchasable
- ●Real-time pricing and a handoff to IKEA kitchen experts
- ●Phone-based room measurement
How OpenKitchen3D differs
- ●Not tied to one retailer — open catalogs from any vendor, or a generic starter catalog
- ●Elevations, a cabinet schedule and a BOM you can export as open files
- ●Field-verification states that separate scanned estimates from confirmed measurements
- ●Open source, with a project format you own
Choose IKEA Kitchen Planner if…
You have already decided on an IKEA kitchen and want to price and order it.
Choose OpenKitchen3D if…
You are comparing suppliers, working with a local cabinetmaker, or want a plan that is not locked to one store.
