- Do you want a home that looks luxurious? Yes.
Do you want a home that looks luxurious without breaking the bank? Hell yes.
In today's video, we are chatting about 9 affordable ways to make your home look expensive using IKEA. I am teaching you not only how to elevate IKEA products, but how to elevate ANY cheap or affordable piece of furniture that doesn't look all that sophisticated in its current state. This video isn't about buying specific IKEA products and highlighting what already looks luxurious from that store. Instead, the video is about using IKEAs run of the mill products to completely transform your space into something luxurious and elegant without having to take out a second mortgage to do so.
Do you use any IKEA hacks to transform your space? Let me know what hacks you use down in the comments!

The table cloth idea is great. I'm always trying too think of things on their most basic form. A tablecloth is a giant piece and nice fabric. You can utilize a giant piece of nice fabric anywhere. I'm trying to not compartmentalize things into specific categories so i have more options.
I've used the Tablecloth/Drapery hack in my last 2 houses 😂 . I add large solid panels of fabric - usually from a solid Table cloth in a coordinating color to the bottom or top w/ 'Stitch Witchery'.
You always make me feel less overwhelmed by interior design. Looking at my space, I freak out, but you break it down and make it simple while helping me better understand WHY doing these things work. Thank you!!
Wonderful tips.. A tablecloth, who would've thought, our Kiva.. You are such a gem! Thank you
Thanks so much for watching Dawn! 💕
Here! Ready to take notes. Because I'm definitely on an Ikea budget at the moment. Lol
I hope there are some tips in today’s video that will help your space! Thanks for watching!
Definitely!
How did you know I’m about to go to IKEA? 😂
Seriously though there will NEVER be enough IKEA videos… thanks for this one! It’s great for sustainability!
I just felt it 😂.
I totally agree 🤣
As I have some Billys I am thinking of adopting your idea to add moulding! By the way I found your Video easy to listen to because of your energetic and friendly presentation which contrasted perfectly with the points you made in writing accompanied by relaxing music. I also liked your outfit today very much: the black top and glasses. It went so well with your gold tone hairstyle! Gorgeous!
Thank you so much for your kind words, Marina! Moulding will REALLY transform the Billys!
Agree :)
i did this for my mom years ago. you can get a more traditional look if you put several billy bookcases together, put crown moulding along the top and then narrow trim moulding down the length to cover up lines where the cases meet. If you go to Rona or Lowes they can show you the cabinet crown moulding. You can rent a nail gun (Recommended) or a drill with a very thin drill bit and nail them in place. putty the holes, a little sample jar of matching paint from Benjamin Moore and your billy bookcases look like $1000 built ins. It's a bit of work but so worth it. Or, if you want it temporary, there's a lot of styrofoam moulding now that you could cut and glue on as well.
You can use empty toilet paper rolls in between the grommets on the curtains and you not only don't see the grommets anymore, you have perfectly spaced pleats.
My mind was blown with the cabinet front change. 🤯 I just moved into my house and I'm not crazy about the cabinets in the kitchen but I'm not ready to take on that big job of renovating but the change out omg! I could paint and it would change the entire look. love your innovative ideas!
I love the way you think. baller on a budget. That table cloth is a great idea. Ty ty
Thanks so much for watching Torrie! 💕
Thanks for the suggestion of using a table cloth as a coverlet at the bottom of the bed. I did it for my daughter’s bedroom and love it.
I’m so glad you love it Liza! 💕
I got new knobs for my daughter's ikea dresser from a hardware shop. It is a mix of colors, flowers and car shapes. Then added butterfly wall stickers on it. She loves it. It looks more personal
That sounds so cute! Great idea!
Oh my gawww I just discovered you 9 minutes ago and I love you already!! Your tips are fantastic. So happy the algorithm sent you into my life!
I just got my own micro-apartment in NYC. These tips were helpful I didn't know Ikea even had some of these things. I'm still losing my mind trying to figure out the division of space on a budget. Can't wait for more content!! Sending your channel to my Aunty too!
Can't wait for you to get your own show ‼️‼️‼️‼️
Thank you for this inspiration!! I miss seeing you do DIYs, but appreciate examples of others you shared!
Love the tablecloth as a throw idea!
Love, love, love your tips! Very happy to learn that it's easy to change out photo mats, it really expands my frames options
I love your decorating ideas! The speed at which you deliver them is another thing. Sometimes I find it hard to listen to you
Loving the content so much. Thanks for sharing.
I learned so much or forgot about so many things and got a refresher. Thanks Kiva
Great ideas! Thank you for sharing!
Love the tip about the layering the rugs thank you 😊

Hi!! Thanks so much! 💕
I feel like you would be so fun to hang out with like let’s get drinks and run around the top floor of ikea sometime hahaha
Omg yes!!! 😂💕
I can see the pair of you - acting out vignettes in the kitchen, draping yourselves across the sofas, rolling across every frickin bed 😂😂😂
The light idea is awesome girl ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you KB for these IKEA FINDS.
Thanks so much Stephanie!!
Awesome! Another great tip is to use plain white sheets or table clothes as curtains, and so so much more affordable!
I have found some amazing bedding at thrift stores. Ralph Lauren home, Wamsutta, etc. High thread count and quality. I know it sounds a bit cringe, but I outfitted my entire Airbnb apartment with about 80% thrift textiles and I saved THOUSANDS. We are balling on a budget over here, seriously!!! Just be sure to hold up the bedding and inspect it make sure that it is still in as new condition. Washed in hot water with oxygenated bleach powder (available at dollar tree). Stick to neutral earth tones as they are more luxe looking and timeless.
Lots of gems in this one!
Safe to say we live for you babe! 💕🙌🏾
This was actually a VERY helpful video! Will be moving soon & will have lots of spaces to style. IKEA is the top store on my list 💪🏽
Thanks so much for watching! 💕
Wow I loved this video, you always bring us awesome tips and tricks. Keep them coming!

I agree with the tablecloth comment. I have used Pashminas from Amazon and some of them are really beautiful.
The rug on a rug thing inspired me. Thank you. Its such a problem solver for my living/dining room.

Simultaneously on Ikea while watching this!!
Every video you post is informative and useful. Thanks for your hard work.
Thank you so much for all your support! 💕
Good old Billy bookcases. When IKEA first came to Philly -- which was the first store in US, in the mid 80s - we bought two Billy bookcases. Which expanded to three Billy bookcases. In white. And that was where we put ourCDs. Yes those were the days. We had over 800 CDs, all alphabetized. We put backs on the bookcases and it looked really nice. Of course when I got the hell out of Dodge I took my 20 favores left all the rest of it to the jerk. But that is beside the point. The Billy bookcase is a definite workhorse.
Great ideas!
Thanks for the great ideas
Thank you for watching!! 💕
Thanks for the tips
Very informative and I love it.
Thank you so much for watching 😊.
Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for watching!!
God I always love your "help"! Makes my head feel less like oatmeal when im fixing in our home 😄
Thanks so much Maria!! I love being able to help you in any way that I can! 💕
I lately hid a small bedside lamp behind the TV (those with the absolutely standard lampshade...) it looks so sophisticated!
This was unbelievably informative, helpful, packed with so many ideas. I thank you very much. Happy holidays to you and your wife
Thanks so much Pat! Happy Holidays to you and your family! 💕
You are The Bomb my friend!!!!
Thanks so much Nancy!! 💕💕
Love your videos 🥰🥰
Thank you Laura!! 💕
Thanks for sharing this info
Thanks for watching!!
2 Christmas Trees??, YOU GO GIRL!
I use twin size blankets on my king bed to get an appropriate sized throw blanket for the end of the bed.
This is brilliant!
Me too! Works great.
Love all the suggestions. Do you have a video specific to using the Ikea pleat curtain rings. Thank you so much
I have the Farlov sofa and I ordered a Bemz cover in linen. I am anxiously awaiting its arrival in January!
Ooo so exciting!! Send me a picture when you get it!
KB this video is awesome! I watch your videos and use your design ideas fir my new home. Thank you so much for your advice! But I have to blame you for my IKEA, Etsy and Amazon obsession ;-)
Looking for your video on double-stuffing throw pillows. Thanks!
I love the look of down and the support/warmth it provides, but unfortunately I'm allergic. The down alternatives are pretty nice nowadays.
Some great ideas! lol--I use Ikea bedding on the table, reverse of what you suggest. I have a table that opens out to twice its size and use a couple of $10 bedspreads (Irina?) as a base for my huge lace tablecloth for holiday dinners.
What a great video!!! Ikea here I come!!! :)
Also - what's your opinion on curtains over vertical blinds?
I can pack a moving truck like no other, but to lay out a room with the proper wall paint, flooring and furniture. That will be as successful as cooking scrambled jello. Please tell me you are in Toronto, Canada.
We switch out knobs all of the time. It really changes the look overall.
Yes for sure!!
Il love this video. Can you link the different companies that do the
cabinet fronts (from tip # 7) please!
I have the Sanela Curtains - in Living Room and bedroom. I am not sure HOW to use the IKEA Curtain pleat clips on the SANELA. Please advise . Thanks so much! Your video was AWESOME!!!
Thank you where is that black and white chair from?
Love your videos, please slow down your pace. Breathe, make a pause to appreciate the decor. That would make the experience of watching and listening much better.
Hello Kiva, Great video! Need some advice. How do you select a quality couch on a budget?
Great video. Do you know where I can find affordable 108 inch blackout curtains?
Can you link the different companies that do the sofa covers and cabinet fronts (from tip # 7) please!
Hi KB! I’m dying to cover my hideous laminates in my small apartment (thanks to my 3 kitties😻) -so I’m loving your ikea rug/layering idea. Do you suggest the base rug be secured with anything specifically? I don’t want it sliding all over😩Thank u 4 ur vids❣️
You can buy something at IKEA that you put under rug and that makes it not slip. I have no idea what the English word is for that. The item is called «Stopp».
@@karinorth1203 thank you😃
@rowan orre yes! I’ve heard of that too. Thanks😄 It’s my destroyed floors that are a nuisance.
Moving back to the mainland…no IKEA,dollar tree, 99 cents store, five below, Michael, Hobby Lobby on Oahu Hi! Uggg😢
Speaking of from and plexiglass, RH uses plexi glass too. I know cause I have four frames with plexiglass from RH.
Can you make video based on studio apartment decor or breaking up space for studio please and thank you
Yes I can definitely do that!
Questions difference between curtains and drapes? Second if you have light to medium gray living room furniture and living room is small, should you go with gray curtains or white curtains?
Are black curtain rods better than white ones for white curtains?
What are your recommendations on duvets or comforters for a cal king bed. I’ve yet to find one very big. They all barely drop past the mattress. It’s always showing the bed sheets
Hi Kiva--I followed your recommendation of the Sanela cushion covers--thank you! They have absolutely perked up my IKEA sofa which is still going strong, but could use a bit more help due to my two dogs. You mentioned a slipcover maker--could you kindly post the name, please? Thanks! The Amazon Warehouse is also a great resource for cabinet and drawer hardware--I've found some very good deals there. Your home looks ready for a beautiful Christmas. Enjoy! 🎄

Hi. I was wondering if you could share some links for new ikea doors or sofa covers. Thanks. I love your content.
Check out Bemz, Norse Interiors, and Nieu Cabinet Doors!
its a bit frustrating. When I bought my Ikea sofa they had slipcovers available in many colors. And they were only $49-79. Now, years later, they are gone. At that old price, I should have bought every color!
Which base rug are we referring to in this video?
Do you still offer decorating services online? I seen your offer it on one if your old videos? I would love to work with you!
How far wide "should" curtains extend from the windows' sides, as a guideline to make them look more fancy?
I can’t use down due to allergies. Can you recommend some good alternatives?
Not Kiva, but I have allergies too. Look for something called "down alternative" . I've seen it in pillows and duvets. It's hypoallergenic. It's made a world of difference- no more waking up with a stuffy head.
I love Ikea. But they dont have curtains at 118 Length. Can you recommend affordable drapes?
The ritva come in 118”!
@@KivaBrent thank you
One more thing...thanks to you I saved $1500 dollars by purchasing the banks dining table from American Furniture. And they had the white chairs in-stock. I'm so glad I came across youe page.
