How it works
Plan any space with your hands.
Planora offers a range of physical planning tools — scale pieces on magnetic gridboards, designed to work alone or together.
01 — Choose your kit
Start with a planner or build the full system
The Room Planner and Garden Planner are the core tools — each comes with gridboards, furniture, and building pieces.
02 — Place and explore
Move pieces freely. Test and compare layouts.
Place scale furniture and building pieces directly onto the magnetic board.
03 — Expand your surface
Gridboards connect like a puzzle
Each planner includes two gridboards. Connect them to create a bigger surface.
04 — Draw, sketch, or both
Use the Sketchpad alongside your pieces
Prefer to draw your own walls? Place furniture pieces directly onto a hand-drawn Sketchpad plan.
WORDS FROM THE FOUNDERS
Why we created Planora
We wanted a way to think with our hands — not just our screens. These tools are the result of that search.
FAQ
Whether you're redesigning a room, working with clients, or just trying out new ideas — Planora works for homeowners, designers, architects, families, and anyone who thinks better with their hands. It also makes a great gift.
It's a fair question, and here's how we see it. There's no learning curve, you open the box and start planning. No software to figure out, no tutorials to watch. If you're in the middle of a renovation or move and want to think things through before the professionals get involved, Planora gives you a way to do that on your own first. And if you are a professional, it's one of the better tools for working through ideas with clients around a table. For the scale of most home projects, it's a small investment, and reusable for the next.
Lay out your Gridboards and start placing pieces. A natural starting point is building the walls first, then adding windows, doors, and furniture.
Each product is built around a different use — the Room Planner for interiors, the Garden Planner for outdoor spaces, and the add-ons for extending any layout.
It means 1/4 inch on the board represents 1 foot in real life — the standard US architectural scale.
Yes. Print or draw your floor plan to 1/4" = 1' scale and place the pieces directly on top.
Each Gridboard represents 1,320 square feet (30 ft × 44 ft) at 1/4" = 1' scale. Every kit includes two Gridboards.
Yes — email info@planorashop.com and we'll do our best to help.
Not currently — our kits are designed at 1/4" = 1' scale.
The Planners, Gridboards and Add-ons all have a built-in magnetic function.
