Affordable IKEA Products That Look HIGH END

In this video, I cover my favorite affordable IKEA products that look high end! I really wanted to focus this list on items that look expensive and don't scream "I'm from IKEA!" For this reason I really tried to get away from products that you see a lot of already. So no Lack tables, Kallax units and Billy bookcases on this list (not because I don't like them!) but because I wanted to focus on items that are special and are great dupes for higher end retailers like CB2, West Elm and Design Within Reach. I really tried hard to find the IKEA products that were cheap, but looked expensive. 😉

Such great tips! And I have to say that it's nice seeing someone who doesn't speak Swedish not mocking the names of the IKEA products.. You try to pronounce it and you leave it at that. Many people mock the names, that we use åäö but you don't, very respectful thank you for that! :)

You had me at "Okay so now we have arrived at the rattan section of the video" 😂 love it!

[susanguppy]

I really like how you speak. You are so clear and concise and the content rolls along fast. Thank you! That was a lot of content in a short video. Plus, Ikea with a toddler is painful, so if I know what I’m looking for based on your ideas that’s helpful!!

The magazine stand cute look cute holding towels in the bathroom as well.

I use the Buskbo magazine rack for vinyl records; it looks great and you can fit a lot of them on it!

[ErinNancyRobertson]

I've just found your channel and LOVE how organized everything is. Your personality is just a breath of fresh air. xxx

I think the rattan magazine holder could also double as a really cute rolled blanket holder

[therpin]

I’m new to your channel, but am loving everything you create. I appreciate that you are giving us real information with your designer insight. It’s clear you have a good eye for design, but can communicate your ideas in a way a consumer can understand. In short, I feel like you are giving us design consultation for free. Thank you!

Whenever you recommend something I already own I feel like I'm winning at life 😂

[anaveras]

Don't throw out your hangers! Many places, including your dry cleaner, will take them! Some examples: Goodwill/Salvation Army, Shelters, etc.

Also, just found your channel. I'm OBSESSED. Thank you for such great info!

Nick, I'm a new subscriber and LOVE your channel! I feel like I'm in a really beautiful yet highly practical interior design school. I'm so thankful that you are sharing your knowledge and that I found you. 👍🏻💗

Alseda was my cat's favorite scratching post, or pouf, or whatever, that I ever bought her. It lasted a surprisingly long time under her regular attacks. I was cleaning up bits of it every day for about 3 years!

PS: I LOVE and appreciate so much that you have broken down the video so I can scroll between sections (not sure what that's called but I hope that makes sense)

[bessycorrales]

I have the velvet cushion covers and love them! I love them more than my itchy Pottery Barn cushion covers. They’re so soft, great quality and so affordable.

[AnanstasiaB]

I am a new subscriber who has worked at IKEA for 29 years. I can’t stop watching your videos. It’s interesting to see your opinion on our range. I love how passionate you are about design while still encouraging others to do what they like.

Another vegan option for the Rens is the ALMTJÄRN. I'm using this in white as my tree skirt right now. For some reason they don't mark it as one of their "green" products, however, rug pile is made of 90% recycled water bottles. It is amazingly soft! After Christmas, the bath matts will become rugs next to the bed. Having that wonderfully soft texture when getting out of bed is just lovely. The ALMTJÄRN has a lux look and feel for a bath matt. ;-) It's around $17.

Wow! Now that is a hidden IKEA treasure video. You are also a treasure Nick! Glad I found your channel. Thanks for the great ideas.

[jennifergermain]

I like your taste in items, just can't get into the rattan, had so much growing up (70s) and it really did not last or wear well.

I own the matte black cutlery from IKEA and I LOVE them! I was worried about the colour chipping or leaking in the dishwasher, but they held up for the 8 months I’ve owned them, Highly recommend!
