Furniture Sets For Ikea Living Room

By Darren Hartley


Ikea took the plunge into the wide world of augmented retail reality. It has released a companion app to go with its Ikea living room catalogue. This gives Ikea furniture fans access to bonus digital content in relation to products shown on its catalogue pages.

The Ikea app offers new AR functionality where users can see what certain pieces of 3D Ikea living room furniture, through a digital version of the chosen furniture, will look like in a specific room. By simply scanning one of the 90 AR-enabled catalogue pages that come with the app and tossing the catalogue on the floor, users can see the appearance of the digital version of the furniture.

The superimposition of a 3D model of the chosen Ikea living room furniture is what the Ikea app actually does on the screen of the mobile device of the users. The users can then decide they like how the would-be furniture looks like in the chosen room or not, without actually having to physically move the furniture around.

For anyone living alone on his own or with his family, the living room is an important home space. It is where a family usually spends time together. It is also the place where most of the guests of the family spend the majority of their time in. Because of this, other than holding up to the wear and tear of everyday living, living room furniture sets must be chosen on the basis of their ability to create a pleasant and welcoming atmosphere.

Starting with the basics is an important step in the selection of living room furniture sets. Most living rooms must have a sofa, an armchair, a side table and a coffee table. Ottomans and additional tables are extra pieces that may be added but are not part of the basic elements of a standard living room. High-quality, solid furniture with sturdy wood frames and sinuous steel springs may cost more but hold up better and last much longer.
