Scan with your iPhone
Use a LiDAR-equipped iPhone and a scanning app such as Polycam. Capture every wall, window and doorway.
A room transformation, in 12 steps
From scan
to sanctuary.
An iPhone. A room full of possibility. And a conversation that turned it into a plan.

The idea
Don’t just imagine it.
Work it out.
We started with a real bedroom, scanned it, checked its dimensions, and built a model. Then we moved furniture, changed our minds, found pieces we could actually buy, and turned the decisions into an order list.
This is that process — using the actual scans, plans and design images from Olivia’s room.
01–03 / Start with what’s real
The room comes first.
A LiDAR scan captures the room’s shape and context. A few real measurements give the model a reliable starting point.

Bring the scan into the conversation
Upload the 3D export — here, a GLB — along with the app’s floor plan and a few room photos.
Check three basic measurements
Width, length and ceiling height. Add door and window measurements wherever fit matters. We used inches throughout.
A scan is a starting point, not a survey. Olivia’s first model used rough measurements; final purchase dimensions still need checking on site.
04–06 / Give the room a framework
One room.
Every useful view.
Build the room in Blender, then look down from above and straight at each wall. Openings, furniture footprints and clearances become much easier to discuss.

Build the room in Blender
Walls, windows and doors become a reusable model with real dimensions.
Create the bird’s-eye plan
Check furniture footprints, circulation and the gaps you’ll actually live with.
Draw all four elevations

07–08 / Find the feeling, then the furniture
A conversation,
not a single reveal.
Soft pinks, warm whites, brass, a canopy and a room to grow into. The design got better as we tried alternatives and replaced placeholders with real products.
The details were the design.
Three closets became two PAX units plus open shelves. The bench moved to the foot of the bed. The vanity and desk moved under separate windows. Each change was a new conversation with the same room model.
Every selection was checked against real product dimensions before it went into the layout — so the pretty picture and the thing you can actually buy stayed the same object.
09–10 / Structure first, atmosphere second
The same view.
Two different jobs.
First, render the final layout in Blender. Then give that camera view and the real product photos to image generation for a lifelike finish.
Drag the slider to compare the actual reference render and finished image.
The Blender model is the reference for dimensions. The finished image illustrates materials, lighting and mood; image generation can still change details.
11 / Turn the design into a to-do list
From “love that”
to “ordered.”
One shared Google Sheet holds real product links, quantities, dimensions, prices and order status. When a piece is ordered, its row fades to grey.

The live sheet contains the current decisions and order notes. Access follows its existing Google sharing permissions.
12 / The optional last mile
“And then… order all the stuff.”
Once the measurements, finishes, quantities and budget are confirmed, an assistant can help prepare carts and walk through checkout where supported — from furniture to paint and lighting. Review the final totals and delivery details, then approve purchases through secure checkout.
Purchases weren’t automated in this case study. The user placed orders and we tracked them together.
