Can I try Planoira without creating an account?

Yes. Test the public 2D floor planner, move furniture footprints, and orbit the 3D studio immediately with zero signup friction.

Getting started
What measurements do I need to plan my room?

Basic wall spans (length and width), ceiling height, and positions of doors, windows, and radiators give you full planning accuracy.

Getting started
Where is my design data saved?

Your layout iterations are stored securely in your browser session for instant performance, complete privacy, and offline resilience.

Projects
How does the AI assistant help me design?

Our assistant analyzes your room dimensions and aesthetic preferences to propose optimized furniture groupings, clearance routes, and lighting placements.

AI & 3D
Is the 3D view accurate to real-world volume?

Yes. The 3D studio generates true-to-scale geometry from your room specifications, allowing you to assess height, sightlines, and mass accurately.

AI & 3D
Are there any hidden charges or surprise paywalls?

None. The core design toolkit is 100% free with no credit card required. Pro and Business tiers are upcoming plans for professional practices.

Plans
Can I export concepts for builders or contractors?

Yes. You can use your dimensional layouts and clearance checks to align contractors, painters, and furniture vendors seamlessly.

CONTRACTOR READINESS

The 10-point checklist before
handing drawings to a builder.

Follow these standard checks in Planoira before purchasing materials or signing construction scopes.

01

Verify Diagonal Perimeter Dimensions

Confirm your room is truly square. Older properties frequently have 1–2 inch discrepancies between opposite walls.

02

Double Check Door Swing Clearances

Ensure bedroom and closet doors open to 90° without striking the edge of area rugs or accent chairs.

03

Window Sill & Radiator Projections

Account for protruding baseboard radiators and window sills that reduce usable wall width by 4–6 inches.

04

Electrical Outlet & Switch Alignment

Verify that placed credenzas and headboards do not block access to light switches or bedside outlets.

05

Continuous 36-Inch Walking Corridors

Check that main transit paths from doorways to seating areas remain open without requiring side-stepping.

06

Coffee Table 18-Inch Reach

Confirm coffee tables sit precisely 16–18 inches from sofa cushions for optimal ergonomic comfort.

07

Ceiling Height & Luminaire Drops

Ensure chandeliers and dining pendants hang 30–34 inches above tabletop surfaces with minimum 7ft clearance elsewhere.

08

Acoustic Area Rug Buffers

Hard surfaces require rugs extending at least 8 inches beyond sofa edges to effectively absorb room echo.

09

Elevator & Stairwell Delivery Dimensions

Before ordering an 88" solid sofa, check that your building elevator and stair turns can accommodate delivery.
