The Ikea website has multiple online design tools to help you plan your next renovation. While most open easily in a Web browser, the Kitchen Planner requires a special browser plug-in for both Mac and Windows users. If your Apple computer meets the minimum system requirements, you'll be able to download the plug-in, install it and start using the planner. The process is similar to installing other plug-ins on your Apple computer.
