About the Norden table, it's great in terms of space and I like that it's wood so don't mind the weight. The problem is that the "gate legs" make it very awkward to sit comfortably, as it divides the legroom into lop-sided triangles, so that's something that's worth keeping in mind, especially if you or your guests are tall, big, or have health or mobility issues that require accomodation.
I have had 2 Friheten sofas bought about 8 years ago. I felt they were aesthetically pleasing as well as practical. The models I’ve seen lately in the Charlotte, NC Ikea have looked smaller and shabbier. The Jatteboe is much more expensive but a much better investment IMHO. Thank you for the video!
I really enjoyed your peaceful balcony at your old place. I incorporated some of your great ideas. Will you be creating a new zen space in your new home? I can't wait to see it!
Love this one!!! Especially your ideas on how to make things look " less ikea- like". Was excited to discover the Jattebo sofa series and the little under the bed night stand!!
Really great video for clever and useful ikea finds. Taking the last suggestion a step further, they also sell a special bracket for mounting the Sonos bookshelf speaker horizontally. With the bracket, you gain a ledge beneath it, which has a built in wireless qi charger (which, while slow, could charge a phone overnight pretty easily). My favorite part of it is that there’s also a discreet-looking and higher-powered USB C port on its left side. This way you can charge devices that you can also sit on the surface ledge.
Thank you SO MUCH for all your tips. I just bought my first home and it's a wonderful space but a bit tiny, so I need to make the most of every cm and your videos have helped me a lot ❤
I have the queen size Nordli and it's perfect for slanted or low ceiling areas! the drawers are large, and my partner and I can fit almost all of our clothes inside.
We have the Ekedalen dinning table in the dark brown, we have had it for almost 5 years. We moved countries and needed something that was inexpensive and readily available. It's not a statement piece but I am not too precious about as we have a kid, it's easy to clean and practicality own over esthetics 😂. I would love to upgrade it, but I will wait a few more years before investing in something nice 👍🙂
Wow such an amazing comprehensive list of Ikea's best products in my opinion. This video is gold since it included a wide variety in every category and I very much appreciate the comparison between the other similar popular products to each other and suggestions for how you can use each product. Thank you, saving this video ASAP 🥰🙏
I use that first wheel cart in my storage room! It's soooo helpful, great in holding all the little things like cleaners, stove burner foils, etc. I also like the sliding door cabinet I got. I don't remember the name; it's a heavy beast, white in colour. But I have it in my living room to store extra food and smaller applicances. It's awesome! :D
The MORABO does come in a sleeper version. Though the added sleeper does mess with the style lines of the piece a little bit. Still a very nice looking sleeper.
Reynard, great video. I just found your channel and subscribed. I look forward to learning a lot from your videos. Thank you. Btw, I was curious about the white wall color you have in your apartment? Is it bm white dove or sw alabaster? Again, thank you.
This is fantastic. I'm moving to a space that is strangely both bigger and smaller than my current space (a giant great room but individually smaller bedrooms), and this is giving me some great ideas. Thank you!
I would say look closely at the materials used for Ikea items. So many of them are made with particleboard/MDF, they won't last. The sofas you recommended all have low backs, don't support the head and therefore aren't that comfortable to sit on for long periods.
I have moved into a space which is one bedroom small and a huge lounge...was happy at first but then got annoyed with the spacious lounge since furniture needs to be put in which should cover the space eventually larger in size but hell EXPENSIVE . There is no space for laundry and kitchen is filled with cabinets. I am so confused now. These kind of videos make me happy and hopeful 🥹
Good videos. But when describing products, you are switching back and forth from metric to imperial (inches) and vise versa, which is quite frustrating. It would be much easier if you choose 1 system when you talk and stick to it (probably the metric would be the best because most used), and show the equivalent in the other system (inches) on screen.
Yeah I'll keep this in mind. I use metric myself but a lot of the audience uses imperial so I tried to include it but often forgot which one I used previously 😅
@@reynardlowell Thanks. Nevertheless, your videos are some of the most interesting, smart and fun videos on interior design on yt! Thank you for those 😀
I find it the sofa not comfortable. I've owned it and it broke right away. We fixed it. I don't know. Not a big fan, especially if you're laying down on it for sleeping
I don't like the particle board. In the furnature, it falls apart. It gives the appearance of beauty, but it is so cheap. They do have metal furniture for TV stand I. Would trust that other cheap furniture? The metal is much better because the particle board. Falls apart. Nut if you pay extra and get solid wood might be better
The plural of furniture is furniture… not furnitures. I know it’s a language thing and doesn’t matter to some… but getting details right elevates things right?
The plural DOES have an “s” at the end in other English speaking countries. Therefore, “Furnitures” WAS correct. Not everything has to be according to an American standard. Do your research before correcting the content creator on THEIR channel.
@@armywifey9653I’m sorry but in the context it was used that is not correct still. I have done my research. If the context was correct I would still debate that this is not currently correct.
I don't think Palestinians would care. Most people don't know much about Islam. Many people in Palestine are Muslim! At least homosexuality is legal in Jewish occupied Israel!
@@rat539thanks I’ve been putting off that new chest of drawers, partly laziness, partly because I’m undecided about a new sofa. You’ve helped me make up my mind. I’ll go order them now. Am Yisrael Chai 🙏

Yeah this is always my gripe with gateleg tables. Still a fantastic table for the price.

This is the kind of house I like. Clean and breezy and minimalist
Jatteboe in green corduroy is simply gorgeous….
Wow I wasn’t expecting such good products at good prices. My country (New Zealand) is getting an IKEA next year. I hope I see some of these. Thank you
Ooooh how exciting! I think its so fun to go to ikea and see what comes in through the seasons. Enjoy!

The Norden and Trulstorp tables as soo cool, thank you for sharing their existence with the world :D
That's my first time seeing an air purifier built into a table 😮 I'll have to check it out. Thank you, Reynard! 😊
One of the best UA-camrs, these are great finds thank you

I love how you explain things in simple terms and WHY something is a good idea ❤
I like the lamp/speaker, I think I'll give it a try. Thank you for introducing this product😊
What a great video, I'm moving to a smaller house so this is really useful! Thank you! Love your videos
I'm planning for my 37sqm home coming in 4 years. I appreciate this! Immediate Subbed! Thank you, Reynard.
I have the queen size Nordli and it's perfect for slanted or low ceiling areas! the drawers are large, and my partner and I can fit almost all of our clothes inside.
"almost" 😉💖
Thank you for these tips! Super helpful 🙌🏾
Kallax also has a brilliant dark steel frame that it can sit on that really elevates the piece.
The Kallax is used a lot for Vinyl Collectors. It holds LPs really well.
Thank you. Greetings from Mexico City
Yes kallax was my gateway drug

Great video! Love to see more space saving furniture and products from other brands too. ❤

Absolutely loved the video style and the recommendations 😊 thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks for another great video. I'd love to see how to plan an open plan living/dining/kitchen space.
I use that first wheel cart in my storage room! It's soooo helpful, great in holding all the little things like cleaners, stove burner foils, etc. I also like the sliding door cabinet I got.

I was at IKEA a while ago. I didn't see coffee table. I have to go back. Thank kid..
Very good ideas for Ikea items.
I like the yeti, but I like the high back rest
The MORABO does come in a sleeper version. Though the added sleeper does mess with the style lines of the piece a little bit. Still a very nice looking sleeper.
This was great! Ty
If you measure with doors Pax is 60 cm deep and Patsa is either 57 or 42. At least here in Czechia.
You are so good! Thank you :)!
Reynard, great video. I just found your channel and subscribed. I look forward to learning a lot from your videos. Thank you. Btw, I was curious about the white wall color you have in your apartment? Is it bm white dove or sw alabaster? Again, thank you.
I love Ikea!
Hello, Thank You For Sharing.
This is fantastic. I'm moving to a space that is strangely both bigger and smaller than my current space (a giant great room but individually smaller bedrooms), and this is giving me some great ideas. Thank you!
I would say look closely at the materials used for Ikea items. So many of them are made with particleboard/MDF, they won't last. The sofas you recommended all have low backs, don't support the head and therefore aren't that comfortable to sit on for long periods.
But that's why IKEA is cheap
Particle board/MDF is indestructible. I have a TV console/storage unit that is more than 10 years old. I've moved 3 times and no damage.
And who would want to be using the same furniture for 20-30 years?
Great suggestions ty ❤
I need that Trulstorp table but it’s not available in Australia!
Cool and useful video
Awesome!👍😎🇨🇦
Vesken is holy ✨
I wish IKEA would bring back the SVALSTA Nesting Tables in the US, they were so nice but I never grabbed them :/ Was very Aalto inspired
Interesting. We don't have round Skansnas in Czechia
We don’t have it in Hong Kong either.
Shout out to IKEA. One of the few big companies that isnt evil. I fear the day it stops being a family owned company.
I freakin love ikea.. like I get pumped about it.. what is this condition called?
Muy interesante👏👏👏
Nice
Starkvind table -- would have liked to see the drawers opened.
I have moved into a space which is one bedroom small and a huge lounge...was happy at first but then got annoyed with the spacious lounge since furniture needs to be put in which should cover the space eventually larger in size but hell EXPENSIVE . There is no space for laundry and kitchen is filled with cabinets. I am so confused now. These kind of videos make me happy and hopeful 🥹
am i going crazy or is there no shorter version of the elvarli storage set? i wanted the smaller one shown in the picture as i have angled ceilings

jattebo is actually $1650 in the combo you showed. I'm not sure which pieces are $530?
Per piece
cool
El sofa cama es buena idea, lo malo es tela, Malaysia calidad

Love your videos but wish you would slow down a little.
You can decrease the video playing speed

Honest question, do Australians say "miscellaneous" with a hard c?
No lol
Can we not hear the sniffles. Please blow your nose before recording. Thank you for sharing the products.

Did not know that! Thanks for pointing it out - changed the title to furniture

Or furnishing
@@armywifey9653I’m sorry but in the context it was used that is not correct still. I have done my research.

@@armywifey9653 UK English - no 'S' !
Funny way to pronounce “miscellaneous”.
what was the point to that !!!
If you move you head and sway your body less .....
Thanks for sharing... We boycott IKEA 🇵🇸✌🏻
I don’t think Palestinians are worried about ING putting together flat-pack furniture anyway.
I don't think Palestinians would care. Most people don't know much about Islam. Many people in Palestine are Muslim! At least homosexuality is legal in Jewish occupied Israel!
@@rat539but they do care about the slaughter and genocide being funded by these companies
I‘m not, girls got to get her Kallax and Billy on 😊
@@rat539thanks I’ve been putting off that new chest of drawers, partly laziness, partly because I’m undecided about a new sofa. You’ve helped me make up my mind.
I’ll go order them now.
