We recorded a part two of this video as well! Check it out! ruclips.net/video/e9PM7Q_T-rQ/видео.html
Awesome, checking it out now!!
O nice, i'm goung to see it right now!
👎
Thanks!
So true 😂
I very much miss the actual paper catalogue. I would typically hold onto them for 2-3 years to use as references. It’s true that the online version can be more dynamic...but for me just can’t take the place of a hard copy.
Me to, I think a lot clearer when I have a physical copy of things
Yep. Something about the linear presentation makes them easier to absorb than a website.
You can pick up a catalog at the store.
I so agree, miss the paper catalog and our IKEA is 3 hours away.
Me too!! I have old catalogs and they are so helpful in thinking about new ideas or I love it to design my closets.
Ikea probably designs its furniture for standard European houses... Because here in Europe the furniture fits fine!... But our houses are 1/3rd to 1/5th the size of US houses.
True story
Exactly
Yes, I think most people in Europe don't live in villas 😅 So the furniture size is approximately the right fit
Ive never been to the US. But. The size of American homes seem ridiculous.
@@LCM8992 well they do have to accommodate the massive overweight people 🤣
Being from Denmark we tend to know what designer furniture that's been copied. Growing up with the classics from Arne Jacobsen, Hans Wegner, Montana elements, Borge Mogensen etc. makes it so that no matter how much they're copied I'd still buy the originals any day. They're super classy :-)
I live in a tiny home. So I am intrigued with Ikeas ability to produce products that help me live comfortably as well as keeping the clutter at bay. 😀
It seems you are focusing on much larger homes. I choose to live in a smaller space with less stuff freeing up my time to pursue other interests. simply.
I plan to have Incredible Tiny Homes build my tiny, and I already have a lot, in one of the communities. Cannot beat first 2 years free, and then $200 a month, afterwards!
Live tiny...Live free!
That was my impression, too. I could never take shelves out of the billy bookcase becasue I use them for actual books and I have a lot of them. In fact, they don't even hold all my books and I've gotten rid of a lot of them. And, my kallax cubes are perfect for my records and cd's (I'm just sorry that they stopped making the boxes for those cd's). Then again, I don't think anyone comes to my house expecting a designer home.
I have a small home and have bought the most amazing storage solution from IKEA.
Smug, much?
Some people are able to handle having a full life and a full home. Especially when you have lovely, large families. Glad you found what works for you.
I very much appreciate tips on upping the look on a budget. I'm always more impressed by creative ways to make things look great on a budget than just showing off how you spend lots of money.
Best living room coffee table I’ve ever had was a solid five foot round faux leather console with inner storage. It was thinly padded to appear body friendly and inviting to sit, yet was also drink steady.
Upsizing accessories is a great tip for me! One of my fondest memories from childhood are my mom's ceramic figures and other beautiful objects dispayed in shelves. I find I am a magpie myself, and too many small objects creates a cluttered feel that's been bugging me. Sometimes you feel what's off, but can't see it -- now I see it!
Yes to part 2! It would be interesting to learn just what they "copied". You could show a picture of the original, then the dupe. It would be a thoughtful lesson!
They have their own designers.
So refreshing to see tasteful design without needing the snobbish price!
Her main issue with IKEA seems to be that everything is too small. I think this is US versus European city living - flats in Europe are usually small without great ceiling height unless they are in old buildings. This is IKEA’s market, they are size appropriate. In Europe if you want giant furniture, you go upmarket or search antique outlets and flea markets. Her solution is to buy 2 or 3 or 10 of everything, but most IKEA shoppers are very limited on budget which is why they’re shopping there in the first place. My own IKEA tip is paint. I paint many things I bring into my home so that I have the right colour values.
🎯
Buy 2 of these and 4 of these. I laughed so hard. Why not just buy the right size furniture at a different store? Would probably be cheaper that way.
I definitely second the paint thing! That and the decorative plastic.... Vinyl..... Whatchamacallit. On rolls that you glue to surfaces. Like giant stickers. 👌
Yes I agree. Only 15% of Americans live in apartments, and (other than in NYC and Miami) apartments here are mostly for the young adult crowd (18-25). IKEA in the US is very popular for young adults.
You've definitely got better flea markets and thrift stores across the pond where everything is older! My place in Vancouver (currently vying for least affordable housing on the world stage) is one of the few where I can get an IKEA piece home and it looks *bigger* than it did in the store.
YES TO A PART 2!!! Also, as a “masses consumer” I wouldn’t know a rip off on design of furniture if I saw one.
PART 2 ..,. Is this a real question??? YES!!!!!!!!
Your ideas are always spot-on and amazing.

I LOVE IKEA. They have wonderful room designs and ideas..
The double rug trick works extra well with their high-pile / shag rugs - the look is totally seamless! Great tips! Thanks!
Rugs can be a trip hazard. Be very careful. I broke my nose falling on a carpeted surface.
Wonderful “fresh” tips and I agree that lighting makes a big impact!
One more thing….The cube shelves do scream “Ikea” but if you incorporate other pieces that are u inquest, who cares? I also love the cubes in a child’s room or play area
Wow, I’m already doing most of these things! My IKEA curtains and double rug are already on order! My feet are currently up on my 2 nesting coffee tables. Thank you for making me feel like a designer
I used ikea curtains to cover a built in bookcase in a bedroom. It’s a whole wall so the floor to ceiling curtains cover the clutter and create a design wall. I love my 4 billy bookcases. The most affordable bookcases with glass doors to protect our books. They are on two walls of our dinning room and we get lots of positive comments
Double velvet curtains! 😍😍😍😍 Fabulous tip!!! And explained with so much charm. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire video.
Totally agree with the lighting tip. When I remodeled my kitchen and built a home theater, I added many mini spot lights that accented where a there was major appliances and I knew I was going to feature artwork. When it was all done, that was the most dramatic effect. And that wasn't expensive, but I did have to fish a lot of wiring into the ceiling. But that was my favorite thing that brought the whole space way up.
Yes for a Part 2!
Absolutely a tried and true trick is to simply repaint something
Created my billy bookcase built in fireplace wall - now to remove a shelf from each and use larger decor pieces - thank you!
How did you make a fireplace? Do you have a channel? Electric fireplace?
@@paperologist electric fire mounted into gap and tiled round with subway tiles and two billy book cases either side with trim and skirting boards (baseboards) - all wires for tv and fire fed through book cases with hole cut in back of shelves for access and doors put on bottom half of shelves - check out Pinterest for fireplace wall/ billy book case built ins and adapt it to suit your needs!
I don't own one IKEA piece, but I found this information very useful. Thank you! 🙂 I'd love to hear about your other tips, as well. Too much good advice is always welcome.
Thank you for the EXTREMELY INSIGHTFUL, INNOVATIVE AND USEFUL tips! I watch tons of decorating videos and you somehow manage to keep fresh and inspiring! Loved the tips, will definitely incorporate at least 3 of them in my home, and those are not just useful for ikea furniture but for overall home decoration!
I’ve been shopping at IKEA (sometimes with my designer friend) for years. I like the clean, simple lines that look high end if used properly.I use the Merete curtain in floor to ceiling length. I bought a large wool rug about 20 years ago that still looks great and is larger than what they sell these days and a similar tug at design store costs almost $1000! .
Exactly. Hang to the ceiling.
Yes!!! Part 2 please! I work for IKEA and I love blending IKEA stuff with other styles and creating a designer look and feel! ❤️
That would be a very dangerous job for me! LOL!
@@HouseofValentina the struggle is real! I used to work for Pottery Barn! 🤪
Been looking for an outdoor rug and can't find the right size. Presto, chango--buy two smaller rugs. Goes under the category of "duh, why didn't I think of that." Thanks for the suggestion!
I would love a part two. Thank you for all of these tips. Some I knew and some I did not. There was an image in the video that I also found so inspiring. It was of a pink couch. I love decorating my home in greens and blues and neutrals. But adding one or three pieces in a new, pretty color could really be fun and make it feel completely different. I NEVER would have thought of a pink couch before.
LOVE IKEA !! Thanks for always including their items to create high-end design on a teensy budget! xoxo
Have you seen the prices lately? They're a long way from teensy.
Absolutely, IKEA has drawn ‘inspiration’ that is a little too close to iconic pieces. Let’s take the more recent, Virgil Abloh’s MARKERAD collaboration with IKEA vs Paul McCobb’s Planner Group chair.. Or the “Meltorp’ dining chair vs Norman Foster’s 20-06 stacking chair.. Or the iconic ‘Poang’ chair vs Alvar Aalto’s 406 lounge chair. Pick your battles, I suppose.
Excellent suggestion to color block shelving against the same colored wall, and removing a shelf. Certainly gives more of a gallery vibe to your treasures, whereas the uniform shelves can resemble the rows of knickknacks at a resale shop.
Slay on, momma!
Nothing beats a beautiful view and a cozy done correctly, your home is your new best Snugverse friends gave
Great tips! Yes on part two. I often fill an empty, larger space, as in the bookcases, with a smallish picture, BUT! In an oversized frame. Especially nice if the frame itself is nice enough to be the art itself.
Love the ideas; love the laugh! Thank you so much for this video. My hubby and I are smack dab in the middle of figuring out what we want for our home, and now I have more confidence in a direction. 💖
Love the tips Valentina! Your laugh makes my day!! Keep up the Joy, we all need the sunshine.
Yes I would love to see Part II!
I have a modern small home and love learning about using large items in small spaces.
These are excellent tips & I really appreciate how thoughtful & precise you are in explaining them. Especially love your use of photo examples! Thank you Valentina!
I thoroughly enjoy the video. I have been interested in interiors for decades, most people are on budgets so when designers take the effort to pass on tops and tricks it is always worth a watch. Thank you so much. Your friendly professional approach with being condescending is so refreshing. I have subscribed and look forward to more of your wonderful videos when you have to to make them. Thank you once again. Greeting from London UK.
I’ve been using clip curtain rings as shower curtain rings so I’m not limited to only using shower curtains. It opens up a whole new realm of design in my little bathrooms.
I love these tips videos! But bookcase tips are always so hard to make work when you have as many books as we do.
I really like the remove a shelf and decorate idea. I think I will use that when staging our home for sale by putting in artwork and artwork lighting into the center larger space. Great Idea! Yes, I would like to see part 2!
Tips 6 & 9 are brilliant and I've never heard another designer say this! Great info and thank you for sharing your knowledge!
YES to Part 2!
This was wonderful, Valentina. Such helpful ideas for a room to look bountiful! Thank you, as always.
Bonjour Valentina ! it is a YES for a part 2. Now let me tell you that I absolutely love all of those tips especially "take one shelf out" that is genious !!!!! Thank you V. Have a great day. - Rosalind -
I love your channel! I have been renovating a 1900 Folk Victorian Farmhouse in Sparta GA for past 3 years, just finishing up on ground level, but lots more to go. I'm learning a lot from you, so thank you very much! If you would do a segment on Folk Victorian that would be awesome as there isn't much decorating advice for these old farmhouses. 💞
I would definitely value a part 2! Thanks for the designer advice.
Yes please, would love a part 2, 3, 4 ❤️
Can't wait for the second video. Thank you for your expert comments. Love them 🥰👍👏👏👏👍
Part 2, yes please. Could you add a section for faux plants, and placement?
I’ll be waiting for part 2, this was so fun!
Such fun!
Here it is! ruclips.net/video/e9PM7Q_T-rQ/видео.html
So eye-opening! Yes please to part 2 and also a video about their best stuff for the kitchen - dinnerware, cookware, glasses, bowls, storage jars etc - that don’t scream IKEA lol
Loved this Valentina, so yes please part two! Thank you so much!
Valentina, yes part 2 please. You are amazing and your smile is so refreshing!!!
Just got home from therapy for my son now it’s time for my therapy watching House of Valentina
Love all these tips! I have been thinking about buying an IKEA bookcase for my home office.
Thanks for ‘same color piece and wall’ idea!
Love the idea of matching IKEA furniture color to the wall color. Thank you.
Karen: What a great video ! ONE of your best.Thanks for taking the time to put these together.
Also I love your upbeat personality.
Doubling rugs works for younger people but they become a tripping hazard is middle age.
Rug tape
Maroxa 7 there are many ways to solve that problem
What’s middle age? I’m 58 and not the slightest bit worried about tripping on carpets or anything else.
Louise Belaire-Pitt I’m with you. Same age, too!
@Maroxa 7 Total left knee replacement after 10 years of pain. I understand.
Love the idea of doubling everything!
Happy advertisement! Buy buy double, double!! Can't get enough!
I am absolutley going to use the curtain idea and I live in a s,all victorian cottage in the U.K. and have found that less is more on shelving. Recently I have been playing with one or two larger ornaments and have found that if I choose fairly plain pieces but with texture it is very effective. Yes please to part two and thank you for all the tips in part one:)
Part 2 please! This was so helpful. Thank you 😊
Thank you so much for the ideas, some I knew and others were genius! Had to pause your video to relook at my space and could already imagine new ideas 💡 YES, please !!!! Would love to see a part 2 and agains THANKS 🤩 I’m excited to get started.
Absolutely brilliant tips, first time watching one of your videos and I have seen were I have been going wrong a lot of the time. I have just finished painting my kitchen, very pleased but adding to it is going to be very different as with the other rooms. Thank you so much, and lots more videos to watch, wonderful!
Yes to a part two. This was fantastic
Definitely would love to see a part 2
I just L0VE your IKEA videos!!!
Love love all your knowledge and sense of humor that you and your husband share
I absolutely loved this episode and ive been watching a long time ☺️
I'd love a part 2 and found your tips very helpful. I'd never thought about the advantage of scaling up. Thank you for pointing that out. It really helped me to understand why somehow my living room design does not make me happy. Tweaking the scale of things might just be the answer!
One way high design can be easily realized is by having just a few big, oversized (and VERY nice) pieces per room, and with virtually nothing else. Clutter free makes spacious makes each carefully selected piece seem more important as a signature statement - stately, rich, spartan.
Thank you very much for these tips. Very interesting and useful. We are getting a new home. So we will need new decoration. Yes please, I would love to hear part 2. Thank you Valentina !
Your personality makes the presentation
so worth watching and the tips so spot on
Please do a part 2. Ive already incorporated many of your ideas years ago.
Amazing tips! Thank you, Valentina!
PART 2 3. YES. PLEASE
These are awesome ideas! I really am going to use a bookshelf minus shelves to give the look of a builtin desk and bookcase combo. Thanks, Leslie
Space in Scandinavia is very limited hence IKEA’s ethos. Would love to see part 2 as a newcomer to your channel.
Here you go! ruclips.net/video/e9PM7Q_T-rQ/видео.html
Hi Valentina, yes please make a part 2. Thank you
Yes, I would like to watch a part 2, 3... all tips related to Ikea stuff is super helpful
Yes! Part 2 will be great ! Thank you for all the tips.
After 3mins I paused the video to say yes yes yes to part II 💕👍
Wow, I just came back from Ikea☺️
Yes, part 2 please...
I have never thought about switching out my knobs....
Thank you!
Definitely a part 2
Yes to Part II. PLEASE and THANK YOU! 🖤🤍💚🖤🤍💚
Yes part 2 please. You are amazing Valentina I love this channel. It’s my not so guilty pleasure!
Thanks so much!!
Great video, Valentina! Yes, part two!!!
Yes! Part 2 please👍! I’m fixing my billy bookcase as we speak😊!
Excellent video! In the process of building a new house in a different state and I want to do a totally different look so I appreciate the video. Part two, please!🥰
Part two please❤️
great!!
Yes, yes, yes to part 2 !!!
@@HouseofValentina I'm just gonna jump ahead and ask for a part 3 as well! :D I learn things from your videos that I don't see or hear from anywhere or anyone else. Maybe it's my own limitation, maybe not. I don't really care, lol. The pieces of advice you give are helpful, insightful, and it really feels like it comes from your wealth of experience. Thank you!
@@HouseofValentina yes plz🙏🏻❤️
These Ikea videos are my kryptonite.
Excellent tips! Was stuck in a couple of areas of my project and your video has helped a great deal. I’m gonna watch it again and again. Will never be boring. Please please please parts 2, 3, 4.... etc.. Then, Seasons 2, 3, 4.... No finale 😍
I would like a part 2. Placement of different pieces….
Part Two for those of us with curiosity and need a boost of creativity, .
I understand the designers being upset but if IKEA can make it more affordable for buyers then as a consumer, I’m grateful! Great suggestions!
Yes! Please do part 2! I got some ideas from this video that I’m going to try.
Yes, yes, yes! Part 2! Excellent tips. Thank you.
❤️ Shirley
Part 2 please! And 3,4,5 etc😁
Learned so much from this even though we don’t live near an IKEA and they don’t deliver to our area. 😘
Why won’t they deliver? My daughter has that problem with them too.
@@paulalim1476 usually it’s because it’s a remote area, that’s my problem (and I’m 9 hours’ drive from the closest IKEA store 😭).
@@beautifulday720 My daughter is in Santa Cruz and about 45 minutes from IKEA store. I suppose that could be considered remote.
Yes, ladies, but you CAN use these same ideas with furniture from other stores, too, not just Ikea?.... Right? Just shop around to get the best deals and the right items, use her ideas there, too !!??
Love it, and yes please let's see part two of your decorating Ikea ideas, love it..great segment, it's awesome, you are terrific, love your personality, character, just shines through...🙋💖😇👍👏🥰
