Measure Your Room. Test Furniture Options. Walk Your Style. Regret Nothing. "The greatest tool I could have while renovating the house. Saved me so much time." — Hannah Use your phone to measure your room, then preview realistic 3D furniture in it — at the exact size you set — in live AR. Walk around it, restyle it, and make better decisions before spending money or moving anything. SEE HOW IT LOOKS, FEELS & FILLS YOUR ROOM A measurement only proves it fits. Painter's tape on the floor leaves a sticky, messy outline — flat, no height, no bulk, no sense of how the room will feel. Measure Tools places the furniture item itself in your room: real size, real volume, standing on your floor in live AR. Walk up to it. See how it looks in your light, how it fills the corner, how much room it really leaves. • 31 adjustable pieces across 5 categories: sofas, seating, tables, beds, storage • Draw it in place: two taps for the base, raise the phone for the height — then match the exact dimensions of any listing, any store, any carpenter's sketch • 37 material finishes — woods, fabrics, leathers, metals, stones — plus free color choice • Placed a fit-check box first? One tap turns it into the real piece — same size, same spot TRY THE WHOLE LAYOUT, NOT ONE PIECE Rooms fail in the in-between: the walkway that disappears, the drawer that can't open, the corner that suddenly feels tight. Place the full arrangement — sofa, table, chairs, storage — and see the distances left between the pieces. Then step inside and walk the paths you'll use every day, before anything is bought or moved. FLOOR PLANS IN 2D & 3D Chain measurements into a floor plan, then view it flat or explore it in 3D. Calculate area instantly — perfect for flooring estimates and renovation planning. A COMPLETE MEASURING TOOLKIT • Measure point-to-point distances, heights, and angles with the AR ruler — no tape measure needed • Room dimensions and area in minutes • Horizontal surface mode to measure around obstacles • Find angles precisely with the built-in clinometer • Bubble level and onscreen ruler included • Save, organize, and share your measurements and layouts • Works in both Imperial and Metric WHO IT'S FOR • Checking if furniture will fit before you buy • Decorating a new home or planning a renovation • Commissioning custom furniture that doesn't exist yet • Real estate, interior design, and staging work at true scale Guided Setup: learn to scan your room properly and take accurate measurements with a simple step-by-step tutorial.
