    I have always liked the products from IKEA. I purchased my first products in the Philadelphia area in the mid-80s for my pre-school children and continue to purchase pieces sporadically over the years and they are in their early 40s. People make fun of me because I continue to purchase furniture pieces but the furniture is durable. Thanks for the sneak peek of the latest pieces and I did find a few pieces that would be welcome additions.

      Loren people need to think twice before making fun of you, because they overspend on furniture from Pottery Barn or West Elm which isn't that much better than IKEA these days.

    The problem with Ikea in recent years to me is that the products only look decent or expensive on their professional fotos. As soon as you approach or even touch them in the store, they often feel super cheap and I wish the item costs a little more, while being better quality. Bc the design often is awsome.

    Reynard I really love the green/grey colour lamp and love those stackable bins are quite a space saver. I would love to see the hackpoppel bowl in teal, that would be a really lovely colour.

    I love the addition of colourful pieces. It takes me back to Terence Conran's Habitat stores in the 1970s in England. Lots of cube storage units with colourful doors and drawers, and coloured floor lamps with spotlights. I bought a few of these items in sunny yellow. Not cheap, but great design and excellent quality!

    Your product choices were spot on. You found the perfect designer pieces. Thanks for embracing the color! You’re absolutely right, it makes rooms more interesting. And if I don’t like a color anymore, I just paint it. Heck, I’ve even wallpapered my Expedit/Kallax. Life and art are too fun to be grey, why should our homes be?

    I agree re warmer light. Hard with the cord on the floor, dwarf grandchildren who run very fast everywhere would be tripping on these.

  • @GeishaTalksFood

    Very informational! Does the glass/acrylic top of Ikea frame reflect light in a weird way? I am thinking of framing something on the wall and have a spot light directed to it ,but was wondering if the reflection would make it look weird/cheap.

  • @gloglos100

    Your wrap of the side table pairs around the sofa is wonderful, thank you. Love you show some colour in the rooms, I am intending to do this, to bully the ugliest 50s house I have ever seen into something else. I am so tempted by a side by side pair of the red low backed poang chairs. My excellent 2,000aud leather Tessa chair as it cost 1987 is still perfect but has got smelly due to living in a very high rental terrace house with lack of air flow.

    I appreciate your recommendation, but do you based only from their appearance or from their quality such as strenght, longevity, etc? I know they're IKEA but those, especially safety, are things that you should consider too

    I always find it difficult to combine colored furniture or accessories with the existing interior. I also get tired of colored things so quickly. Does anyone else feel the same? I prefer nude and tone-on-tone.

    • @jp_jas
      @jp_jas Месяц назад

      I guess then you have to keep the whole house kind of colourful. If you have just a few items here and there, they might soon feel out of place.

    • @joycevanrossum1811

    I have bought a horribly expensive 50s how in Aus city which however is 50s not mcm, how coukd they build this when so much architectural information and home designs were in the media in Aus. So seeing the light shade for example is great.

  • @GeneralKenobi69420
    @GeneralKenobi69420 Месяц назад +1

    The bamboo light looks nice but way too much light is wasted by being absorbed by the wood. I could see it in a large space that has many other lights to conpensate, or say you wanted to light a dining table by using 3 of them in a row, but I wouldn't use it otherwise.

  • @tita4359
    @tita4359 Месяц назад +6

    i want to agree but sadly all of these still look precisely worth their price. Just because they are a bolder shape or color doesn't change the fact they still are and look made of ikea grade material quality

  • @eily_b

    The picture frames are made from a "wood effect" material with a plastic glass. It doesn't look high end. It looks pathetic. I don't understand why they can't use a cheap, maybe varnished, real wood since it is such a small amount needed.

    • @amandaallen3422
      @amandaallen3422 Месяц назад +4

      The plastic glass really bothers me too. I stopped buying frames from Ikea for this reason. Even Walmart uses real glass.

    Sorry. I usually agree with you but not this time. Some of these pieces look good, but surely have nothing in common with highend luxury products are just good looking but in a cheap way. Other ones asthe kallax always add the cheapest vibe to an house.

    Everything I’ve bought from IKEA has fallen apart within two years, so I no longer purchase anything from them. Even their plants came with thousands of gnats in the soil, forcing me to throw them out. Never again. I only watched this video to support you!

    • @1redarmy1
      @1redarmy1 Месяц назад +18

      I never have gnats in my plants, the key is simply allowing the soil to dry out. Most water too much and think the soil has to be constantly moist, the moisture attracts bugs.
