IKEA Place vs. Morf Visualiser: what retailers need to know

IKEA helped mainstream AR in home retail with IKEA Place, letting shoppers drop true-to-scale 3D furniture into their rooms and preview textures, lighting and shadows before buying. It’s a strong signal: customers want immersive tools that blur the line between store and screen.
Morf brings that same confidence-boosting experience directly into your ecommerce flow, with added capabilities designed for multi-brand retailers and D2C businesses: deep product configuration, app-free mobile AR, SEO/PPC-ready variant pages, and built-in content creation.
Below is a practical, retailer-focused comparison.

  • Immersive by default, shoppable by design: Customers configure live (size, modules, fabrics) and, on mobile, can place the exact configuration in AR. This removes guesswork and shortens the path to checkout.
  • Built for scale and to streamline your marketing: Swap angles, colours, and room sets on the fly to generate ready-to-use marketing collateral. Launch campaigns without a photoshoot.
  • Search + ads that match intent: Because each product variation can have its own URL, headline, and image, you can target high-intent queries and serve ultra-relevant PPC creatives that land on the exact configuration customers expect.

IKEA Place shows that consumer demand for “try-in-my-room” is mainstream and it improves confidence ahead of purchase. Morf takes the next step: bring that experience into your website, connect it to your catalogue and checkout, and turn every configuration into searchable, promotable content.
