Hey everybody! Hope you guys enjoy this new Ikea Home Office video!!! Please comment, Like and Subscribe:))) If you want to know more about the DESIGNCLUB get onto my email list at www.lisaholtdesign.com!
Look at IKEA hacks on Pinterest there are so many ways you can improve base IKEA furniture, some quite radically. There are several sites that have detailed construction plans.
Me too! I just discovered Lisa’s channel. Trying to catch up and can’t get enough of her great design ideas and tips. Just did a home office for my husband and I via IKEA. Never would have considered IKEA without Lisa’s advice! We love it and are so happy. Super inexpensive, which leaves funds for finishing touches!
Oooh Florisa I love hearing that!!! 🤩 Ikea makes some fabulous stuff, right?? 💕👏🏻Good for you making that space work for YOU - thanks for watching!! 🥰💙
You have no idea what a lifesaver this video has been for me. I need to create an office space in my bedroom and I was stuck. I'm excited to use these tips to create the perfect space for myself.
Having shelf/storage units with wheels, as you suggested, is fantastic. I did this in my home art studio/office, because I am limited on space, and it is the best thing ever. It gives me so much flexibility for working on different projects.
This is the best video ever. Thank you for organizing all these options. School starts this week and I have to share an "office" room with my teenager. Ack. The cooler we can make it the less grumpy teenager I will have to share space with
Thanks, Lisa. Helping my grand daughter set up a home office for her new job. Great tips AND to the point. Your enthusiasm and upbeat attitude makes for great communicating.
Patricia!! CONGRATS to your granddaughter on her new job and her office makeover!!! 🥳🎉 Hopefully you picked on a few good tips for this project!!! 💚Thank you so much for this sweet comment, definitely let me know how the office turned out!! 🤗💜
Love Ikea hacks! One thing about their desks, though--they aren't all finished in the back, so if (like me) you can't stand having your back to the room, check to see that the desk you pick is finished all around!
We bought an extra piece of masonite and got shirwin williams to match the paint color on our assemble it yourself desk so we had a panel to go on the back. It was a cheap solution and it works well.
Rachel Reiss Hey Rachel! Thanks so much for the tip! I’ve never experienced that, so it’s great your sharing, esp with all the great hacks ppl are doing ! TFS!🥰
The best way I’ve found to ensure privacy in my WFH space is to stop what I’m doing and stare at my partner until he feels self conscious, finishes making his sandwich, and leaves. Haha! I love my Helmers, my top 3 drawers are office supplies, the bottom 3 are nail polish and supplies. Oh, you had me at the Sonos lamp! I foresee those in my future!
Hey Rye! Right?! Love that Sonos lamp! I have Sonos speakers everywhere in the house, and would love to replace them with those lamps in a few spots… So glad you’re a part of my channel!🥰
I just bought the Fjalkinge with drawers for my home office to store all my interior design books and magazines! I love it! My problem... I need to get rid of some of my interior design magazines and I can’t seem to part with them! Lol! 😆
I love that every time I have a design question, you suddenly come out with a video with an answer. The Elvarli from IKEA is just what I need. Thank you!
I have to say you are super groovy Lisa, to use one of your own expressions! ☺️ Thanks for the amazing tips and for making us feel like good design is within reach of the homeowner who loves it too! ❤️
THAT is exactly why I do this! To EMPOWER you guys to design great spaces! You’ll love the DesignClub, once I launch it! To get on my email list go to www.Lisaholt.com! 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you Christina!! I hope I have your email and I’ll be notifying you as soon as to the status! Working on it all day today for that matter! Thanks for the comment and just in case you didn’t know to get on my list is at www.lisaholtdesign.com
I love IKEA so much, that my husbands jokes with me saying that every time I go to an IKEA store, they through the red carpet for me, hehehe! Loved the items you picked!
Me and my girlfriend love your videos. We are moving into a two bedroom apartment and making one of the bedrooms an office. This video helps a lot, because the office room that we are going to get is going to be very small.
Andy!!! Tell your girlfriend I said hi!! 😁 I am so glad that I could help you out with your future office - I love hearing what you guys are up to!! If you're a fan of design, make sure you're signed up for my new Dezign Club!! 👏🏻💙 We're going to have more posts about offices (especially from home) - I'll TOTALLY be sharing more office space tips over there!!! 🤩 Head over to www.lisaholt.com/thedezignclub to get signed up - see you this summer!! 🌟
Lisa, thanks for this video, I’ve been struggling on how to put a home office/study area. My son will be very happy and comfy that we can share the area! Blessings
Rosa!!! 🙌🏻 I'm so glad I could help you out with your office!!! 🤩💙 IKEA is the best, isn't it?? 😂💕 Thank you so much for watching, and hope you're having a fabulous Tuesday! 🌟
Perfect timing. My office doubles as a guest room with a day bed. I've been musing over what changes to make. The Stradman(?) chair and ottoman are on the list. I have a desk very much like the Skarsta. It's an old chemistry lab table.
Yay!!! 🥰🌟🌟 I love it when these videos find you guys at the right time - thank you RUclips algorithm!!! 💜😆 Sounds like you have this project fully under control - so glad I could help you find some fabulous pieces to incorporate into your space!!! Keep up the good work!! 💚👏🏻
I’m watching this video on Sunday after 🙄 placing an online order yesterday for my IKEA office. I think I did a good job with the pieces I ordered. We will find out in a month when everything is delivered. I bought enough Billy bookcases to fill am 11’ length wall, plus 2 desk tops, legs & Alex drawers to hack a desk. I added a few desk drawer organizers. I will add other elements once I see what all this looks like. I also may buy the extender shelving for the tops of the the bookcases so the look built in. I got a lot of items for my $750 investment. I can’t wait to see what everything looks like once it’s put together. Love your ideas.
Ooh I can’t wait to see it all either! You’ll love it, I’m sure....I’ve had billy cases for over a decade! I’d luv to see the final pics at hello@lisaholt.com!🙌🏻🥰👍🏻
Loved the disclaimer. 😂 Who knows if any if us are pronouncing the names correctly! Loved the choices. Ikea can be intimidating with sooo much merchandise and you break it down so well! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was funny... I was so worried because in my last video on IKEA many ppl were quick to point out my destruction of Swedish! Thanks for your comment 🙂
Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea Ikea had so many great office pieces and how customizable they are! I searched all over for what I wanted for my new office and for my partner's and had come to a stand still until I watched this!
I’ve saw a lot of youtubers bash Kallax, but people tend to forget that sometimes it’s about being functional and practical. It’s a basic divider, but that doesn’t make it horrible or tacky haha
Hi Donna! Thanks for the kind words! Ahh yes! We will add this to the list of video ideas! Also, you'll want to join the club, which is where will be going into deep dives about all things design. Sign up at www.lisaholtdesign.com and you'll be in the loop!
I can't tell you how much I love your videos. This is the bomb!! I'm always overwhelmed with IKEA because of all the options but WOW do they deliver! And thanks for breaking it all down for us.
Thank you Josie! So appreciate your comment and it’s you guys that keep me up late working on the next videos!!! Keep connecting with me and you’ll have to join the DesignClub when I launch 🚀 it! Yay 😀!
I like that Helmet drawer unit on wheels, anything in wheels is great, so easy to move around. Also like the hack with the drawers on the gold base, gorgeous! Love how well your videos are put together. All the little details like snapping your fingers to improve the lighting, the black & white effects, and just your personality, you’re so fun to watch! Thank you 😊
Hi Denise! Thanks so much for your kind comments and for being a part of the channel! I’m glad you enjoy the videos… I’ll definitely let my editor know he’s appreciated too🥰
Oooh, thank you for this video! You have unknowingly shown me something I intend to use in a different capacity. Here's an idea for you: that Skarsta adjustable height desk can be used over a queen sized bed. I have been looking for a flat surface that whose height was adjustable that would fit across my queen bed. If the Skarsta can be put on wheels, I'm in business! I bet IKEA even has a shelf that can be attached to the underside of the desk to store electronics, wires and stuff. When not in use, it can be at the bottom of the bed (but not for sitting) and you can pile blankets and pillows on.
Finding an IKEA with items in stock helps as well. IKEA , like every other furniture store, is running very low on their stock. They’ve even stopped letting you order it, they’re so far behind. Btw, I got that houndstooth chair you recommended - love it!
I started with the Skarsta sit/stand desk. It served me well for a few years. I recently upgraded to a Karlby with walnut veneer. I got the Idasen sit/stand legs to place it on. The Skarsta name is now discontinued. However they now have a sit/stand desk called Trotten which appears to be the exact same design as the Skarsta.
We have a work space in one of our family areas and we used an L desk allow us to see our infant while keeping her out of our work space. It also solved some architectural weirdness as it tucks in nicely with the chimney column in the middle of an open attic space. In an old house you got to tuck those 21 century electronics away where they make sense.
Hey there! That’s so true! I love your ingenious thinking… That’s what’s great about the IKEA product, it’s super flexible. Thanks so much for being a part of the channel!🥰
We are currently working on our home office space so this video is very helpful. I love your design style and energy ! You give such helpful advice , and make the decor ideas seem so manageable . Thx so much !
I love all your videos. I am working on the home office and trying to figure out how to make it all work. It’s a lot to think about with the zoom lighting on top of everything else!
Thank you for putting this together! It’s overwhelming trying to figure what I need from IKEA. this is a great summary wt explanations and usage examples ❤
Ooooh A I love that!!!!💕👏🏻👏🏻 IKEA just has the BEST stuff sometimes...who knew, right? 💚🌟 SO glad I could share a few of my favs - happy shopping!!! 🤩🛍
Great suggestions. I'd love to hear your thoughts on area rugs or carpets for the home office especially if you have swivel chairs but don't prefer the usual floor saver options out there in the market. Thanks!
A really good option for task lighting is an over the monitor light such as the Quntis Computer Monitor Lamp, Screen Lamp Monitor Light Bar with Auto-Dimming &Hue Adjustment on Amazon. It takes up no space on your desk and can be part of your travel kit for your laptop. There are other manufacturers as well for this product. I have the BaseUs version. It's great if you have an external monitor as well. Mounting the monitor to the wall on an extending fully articulating mount is a great idea as well to keep the desk surface clear. Or you can use a Poppin monitor riser. You can even mount it on the SKADIS Pegboard top if you want. Done that as well for my charging station by setting it in a small SKADIS accessory tray mounted on the top edge.
i love how your videos are constructed...so organized and to the point...packed with info and very fun. who does your video editing? they are great...love the "groovy" counter. your videos make decorating fun and not so stressful for those of us learning. thank you!...Looking Forward To Your Design Club!...any update?
Yay 😀!!! Yes, the design club is going to be fab and I’m so excited about launching it! Probably not until Jan ☹️... but if you signed up at www.lisaholtdesign.com I’ll notify everyone on the progress! I’m trying to make it super valuable so it’s taking some time. The editing is done by my hubby who does all the behind the scenes stuff! Thanks for recognizing that 🥰
Needed this ‼️ This month I have been told I’ll be working from home permanently & I had no clue where to start when it came to an office in my tiny apartment
I'm happy you are joining us! Have you joined the list for the Design Club yet? I think you’ll love it, we’ll livestream Q&A’s, deep dive and give lots of pro tips all about design, great for if you've got a project coming up, so send your email to www.lisaholtdesign.com and you'll be in the loop!
Awesome information. Will you do a video on the TOP 10 HOME IMPROVEMENTS/MAINTENANCE you should do on your house before you retire? Also, loved the information on NEW KITCHEN AND BATHROOM remodel. Oh, and another idea how about a video on HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE LOOK EXPENSIVE on a budget.Another idea I would love to see is how to do a ANCESTRY GALLERY WALL.Just do it! Loved your cat!
Hi Patti! Thanks so much for being a part of my channel! These are all great suggestions… Some of which I’m covering in the club, and some will be videos. Have you already signed up? Drop your name at Lisaholtdesign.com and I’ll keep you up-to-date on when that’s getting ready to come out👍🏻🙌🏻🥰
The top wood surface you show is an IKEA Karlby countertop. I got one of those and again used the Capita legs to raise it up off each of the three sets of Alex drawers. It gives me a place to slide things that I don't want on the desk surface. such as a USB HUB. Or an organizer tray.

@@LisaHoltDesign No, I'm Serbian but I used to learn German as my second foreign language in primary school and I spoke to a relative who moved to Sweden about similarities and differences in grammar and reading of the two.
I'm so happy to know I can help! Thanks so much for joining us! 😀 We’d always love to see the before/after shots at hello@lisaholt.com, so we can share it with the Club!
Hi Lisa, This is exactly what I needed, Thanks for the great hacks. I’m thinking of using LUROY Twin Bed Slats as my room divider. Do you’ve recommendations on how to hang them from the roof ? Any tools/holders etc. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance

Lisa, these are such great tips! I love the egg chair and sleek desks with the drawers...the ideas are flowing. Thanks again for sharing such awesome Ikea hacks!!
Thank you for all your content. Just found your channel recently and you really inspire me to learn more about interior design. And for the record, your pronunciation is overall really good (I´m Swedish) :). Cheers from the north!
Thanks for this Lisa. Great resources, specially because this items are sooo versatile that possibilities are endless. We need to get you an European tour soon hehe ❤️
Aww Meryl I love to hear that! 🥰🙌🏻 So excited I could help you design your new creative space!! 😁 Great design can make SUCH a difference, especially in a room you create in!! 🤩 Thank you for your kind words, and happy decorating! 💕😁
I made a tv riser using four of the CAPITA Legs and a commercial shelf that was a bit thicker and denser/heavier than a retail product for my 55" TV which doubles as a monitor for working in the living room.
What can I say Lisa? You are amazing! I immediately click on the Like button every time when I play your videos. I love your enthusiasm and informative content. Thank you.
Just discovered you channel recently and I've been happily binge watching - you're fun and so informative!! Living in a NYC apt - my work station is an armoire that's in the "foyer", which is between the dining area and living room. The resulting eye sore is the black office chair on wheels and it looks so out of place when the work day is done and armoire closed. Short of hiding the office chair in a bedroom (which would still make it out of place), what type of chair can possibly blend in and where would you put it when not in use?
Again, more great content, Lisa! Can you do a video on lighting for artwork, please? I have a beautiful piece of art my son did and it’s huge! It’s a charcoal . Will cover most of a wall and I want to use it as my focal piece! Just don’t know what size portrait light ( or maybe lights!) and how far from the wall it should come out. Any suggestions?
Hey Sharon! Thanks so much for being a part of the channel… Have you seen my video on Lighting yet? I talk a little about art lighting in there. You might find what you need there, but if not feel free to email me directly at hello@lisaholt.com, and I can see if I can answer your question specifically.🥰
Hi Casey! Welcome to the channel… I’m so glad you’re here!We’ve got lots more things coming, including a bathroom trends this Friday you won’t want to miss…🙌🏼
Hi Doreen! Thanks so much for your kind comments! You do not want to miss the bathroom trends video premiering today at noon Pacific time! See you soon!😘
I'm thinking 2 Alex drawers on either side with a slab of wood on top equals instant desk! Seen this a few times and it looks great. Also, instead of wasting time stripping wallpaper, im covering the ENTIRE walls with peg boards. Btw, can you attach those kalax shelves to the wall so they're up high as opposed to on the ground?
Don't worry about butchering the names - it sounds better when Americans pronounce the Ikea names in American instead of trying to do it in Swedish 😅🙂😘 Great video BTW and I love the hacks at the end.
Thank you so much Runa for the moral support… The last IKEA video I butchered some of the names, so I was worried! I feel so much better now! Thanks for watching!🙂
I so appreciate how excited and energetic you get about sharing your ideas. It makes me feel inspired to try new things!!! I think I’m going to head right over to IKEA as soon as I can and look for the items you recommended- see which ones I like as well. Thank you for another fantastic video!!! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!
I really love your videos! Although interior design is a challenge for me, it's something I appreciate and admire. The content of your videos is wonderful! And while I learn a lot it's not overwhelming. And you always make me laugh! Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for this video! I had no idea Ikea had so many great office pieces and how customizable they are! I searched all over for what I wanted for my new office and for my partner's and had come to a stand still until I watched this!
I’ve saw a lot of youtubers bash Kallax, but people tend to forget that sometimes it’s about being functional and practical. It’s a basic divider, but that doesn’t make it horrible or tacky haha
Yes, plus, put small legs (or feet, I guess), or a plinth under Kallax and suddenly it looks a billion times better.
If you have the space, using the butcher block counter tops from Home Depot or Lowes in combination with Ike really gives you a solid desk
IKEA’s own butcher block (which is not true butcher block-not solid, but a very thick veneer) is also very good.
Yeah so when I go to IKEA I’ll be playing this video throughout our walk - I’ll probably be helping others along our modular and storage journey lol
Hey there! That’s exactly how I planned it! Hope that this helps and weeds out all the distractions along the route!👍🏻🎉😘😍

Here's an idea for you: that Skarsta adjustable height desk can be used over a queen sized bed. I have been looking for a flat surface that whose height was adjustable that would fit across my queen bed. If the Skarsta can be put on wheels, I'm in business! I bet IKEA even has a shelf that can be attached to the underside of the desk to store electronics, wires and stuff. When not in use, it can be at the bottom of the bed (but not for sitting) and you can pile blankets and pillows on.
Hey Melody! Thanks so much for sharing!! I'm so glad you're joining us!
Hi Melody
Finding an IKEA with items in stock helps as well. IKEA , like every other furniture store, is running very low on their stock. They’ve even stopped letting you order it, they’re so far behind. Btw, I got that houndstooth chair you recommended - love it!
Yay... on the Houndstooth chair... and thanks for the shipping and stock IKEA tip! So appreciative 🙂🙏🏻👍🏼
I started with the Skarsta sit/stand desk. It served me well for a few years. I recently upgraded to a Karlby with walnut veneer. I got the Idasen sit/stand legs to place it on.
The Skarsta name is now discontinued. However they now have a sit/stand desk called Trotten which appears to be the exact same design as the Skarsta.
We have a work space in one of our family areas and we used an L desk allow us to see our infant while keeping her out of our work space. It also solved some architectural weirdness as it tucks in nicely with the chimney column in the middle of an open attic space. In an old house you got to tuck those 21 century electronics away where they make sense.
Hey there! That’s so true! I love your ingenious thinking… That’s what’s great about the IKEA product, it’s super flexible. Thanks so much for being a part of the channel!🥰
Lisa!!! I love your energy!!! You’ve got me sitting on the edge of my Skruvsta!! 🤣
Great 👍 video!!! Thanks!!! 😁
Haha! I ❤️❤️❤️ it! Thanks so much for being a part of my channel!
We are currently working on our home office space so this video is very helpful. I love your design style and energy ! You give such helpful advice , and make the decor ideas seem so manageable . Thx so much !
Oh how exciting! Thanks so much for the kind comment! Keep your eyes peeled.. lots more is coming soon!
I love all your videos. I am working on the home office and trying to figure out how to make it all work. It’s a lot to think about with the zoom lighting on top of everything else!
Hi Papeeshka! Thanks for the kind comment and thanks for watching! Yes! It can be tough with so many moving piece.. but you CAN do it!!
Thank you for putting this together! It’s overwhelming trying to figure what I need from IKEA. this is a great summary wt explanations and usage examples ❤
Glad it was helpful!
This is great. I'm going for one of those standing desks with the draw shelf on top and a groovy height adjustable stool. Thank you!
Ooooh A I love that!!!!💕👏🏻👏🏻 IKEA just has the BEST stuff sometimes...who knew, right? 💚🌟 SO glad I could share a few of my favs - happy shopping!!! 🤩🛍
Wow you LOVE that light! So much passion!
YES!! Thank you for watching! 🤩
Great suggestions. I'd love to hear your thoughts on area rugs or carpets for the home office especially if you have swivel chairs but don't prefer the usual floor saver options out there in the market. Thanks!
Yes, keep them low and flat as possible, but with backing, so they don't stretch. I have one in my office 😃
Good information and great tips. However, when doing the top 10, the visuals stopped. That’s when I needed it the most. 😔
A really good option for task lighting is an over the monitor light such as the Quntis Computer Monitor Lamp, Screen Lamp Monitor Light Bar with Auto-Dimming &Hue Adjustment on Amazon. It takes up no space on your desk and can be part of your travel kit for your laptop. There are other manufacturers as well for this product. I have the BaseUs version. It's great if you have an external monitor as well. Mounting the monitor to the wall on an extending fully articulating mount is a great idea as well to keep the desk surface clear. Or you can use a Poppin monitor riser. You can even mount it on the SKADIS Pegboard top if you want. Done that as well for my charging station by setting it in a small SKADIS accessory tray mounted on the top edge.
TFS! Is “groovy” back in style ! Ha! 😉🌷🍫
i love how your videos are constructed...so organized and to the point...packed with info and very fun. who does your video editing? they are great...love the "groovy" counter. your videos make decorating fun and not so stressful for those of us learning. thank you!...Looking Forward To Your Design Club!...any update?

This is awesome. Would you have any suggestions how to reduce echo in the room? I sound like I'm dialing in for calls from a cave....
LOL Joanne!!! We don't want anymore cave calls!! 😆🙅🏼♀️ If you have furniture in your room already, adding a rug can help with the sound!!!
Just found your channel. Love how quick you get to the topic and the fast pace! Really cool! Thanks🤗
Welcome to the channel Livia! 🙌✨ Stay tuned for more fun videos!😃
7:15 she talks about the speaker light, but what is that closetthing! I love it
Awesome information. Will you do a video on the TOP 10 HOME IMPROVEMENTS/MAINTENANCE you should do on your house before you retire? Also, loved the information on NEW KITCHEN AND BATHROOM remodel. Oh, and another idea how about a video on HOW TO MAKE YOUR HOUSE LOOK EXPENSIVE on a budget.Another idea I would love to see is how to do a ANCESTRY GALLERY WALL.Just do it! Loved your cat!
Hi Patti! Thanks so much for being a part of my channel! These are all great suggestions… Some of which I’m covering in the club, and some will be videos. Have you already signed up? Drop your name at Lisaholtdesign.com and I’ll keep you up-to-date on when that’s getting ready to come out👍🏻🙌🏻🥰
Super informative. She brings the energy!!
Great video Lisa, I need something to put my printer, books, files, paper work for my home office. I will check some of those options. 🙏👍🏼
Great, check them out and update me on how it goes! 🙂
The top wood surface you show is an IKEA Karlby countertop. I got one of those and again used the Capita legs to raise it up off each of the three sets of Alex drawers. It gives me a place to slide things that I don't want on the desk surface. such as a USB HUB. Or an organizer tray.
Love your energy! Ikea is great. Thanks for the information.
Cammie, Welcome!! So glad you've joined the FAM!
Lisa I just found your channel and after watching a few videos I’ve decided that I want to be you when I grow up
Awww! Love it!!! glad you found me!!!

Totally agree on the choices. And you did good with the names.
Thanks Katrina! Are you from Sweden 🇸🇪? Love 💕 IKEA! Thanks for watching!
@@LisaHoltDesign No, I'm Serbian but I used to learn German as my second foreign language in primary school and I spoke to a relative who moved to Sweden about similarities and differences in grammar and reading of the two.
Your video is perfect timing im planning to make my husband a nice home office in our house for his bday presents .thank you so much more power ❤❤❤

I'm so happy to know I can help! Thanks so much for joining us! 😀 We’d always love to see the before/after shots at
hello@lisaholt.com, so we can share it with the Club!
I need a couple of drawers with dividers in them to make them vertically file cabinets.
Another fantastic informative video! I didn’t know IKEA has all that fantastic stuff! I love your videos! 😊
Hi Tina, how are you doing?
Hi Lisa,
This is exactly what I needed, Thanks for the great hacks. I’m thinking of using LUROY Twin Bed Slats as my room divider. Do you’ve recommendations on how to hang them from the roof ? Any tools/holders etc. Appreciate your help. Thanks in advance
No... sorry ☹️... please let me know what you figure out! 😘🙋♀️
I love your channel! Thank you for this video! Can you tell me if the bookcase behind you is from IKEA?
Great idea! I need to set up office in living room. But I have no walls only space is in front of windows.
Perfect timing I got to start planning my office.

Lisa, these are such great tips! I love the egg chair and sleek desks with the drawers...the ideas are flowing. Thanks again for sharing such awesome Ikea hacks!!
Yay! Thank you for your kind comment and thanks for joining my channel! There's more fun stuff coming!
Hello, how are you doing my friend
Thank you for all your content. Just found your channel recently and you really inspire me to learn more about interior design. And for the record, your pronunciation is overall really good (I´m Swedish) :). Cheers from the north!
Thanks for this Lisa. Great resources, specially because this items are sooo versatile that possibilities are endless. We need to get you an European tour soon hehe ❤️
Yay! Thanks so much for your comment Carolina and thanks for joining us!
I love your energy!!!
love your videos! this was super helpful as I'm creating a new work/craft/ me space.
Aww Meryl I love to hear that! 🥰🙌🏻 So excited I could help you design your new creative space!! 😁 Great design can make SUCH a difference, especially in a room you create in!! 🤩 Thank you for your kind words, and happy decorating! 💕😁
I made a tv riser using four of the CAPITA Legs and a commercial shelf that was a bit thicker and denser/heavier than a retail product for my 55" TV which doubles as a monitor for working in the living room.
What can I say Lisa? You are amazing! I immediately click on the Like button every time when I play your videos. I love your enthusiasm and informative content. Thank you.
Thanks Marjan! I’m happy your liking my channel! This week is all about bathroom trends... see you again Friday! 🙂
Just discovered you channel recently and I've been happily binge watching - you're fun and so informative!! Living in a NYC apt - my work station is an armoire that's in the "foyer", which is between the dining area and living room. The resulting eye sore is the black office chair on wheels and it looks so out of place when the work day is done and armoire closed. Short of hiding the office chair in a bedroom (which would still make it out of place), what type of chair can possibly blend in and where would you put it when not in use?
Great question! Why don’t you drop me a Hi at hello@lisaholt.com and that way i'll be able to answer your question more easily.
Thank you!!!!!
Love ur excitement in telling us all these groovy tips
Thanks!!!! I think Groovy has to make a come back on my channel!!! 😂🤣
Again, more great content, Lisa! Can you do a video on lighting for artwork, please? I have a beautiful piece of art my son did and it’s huge! It’s a charcoal . Will cover most of a wall and I want to use it as my focal piece! Just don’t know what size portrait light ( or maybe lights!) and how far from the wall it should come out. Any suggestions?
Hey Sharon! Thanks so much for being a part of the channel… Have you seen my video on Lighting yet? I talk a little about art lighting in there. You might find what you need there, but if not feel free to email me directly at hello@lisaholt.com, and I can see if I can answer your question specifically.🥰
Hi Sharon
I really enjoy all your IKEA videos 🙌
Every time I watch one of your videos, I want to open my piggy bank and go to IKEA on a shopping spree 👀👌
Yay! Let’s tell IKEA to give my viewers discounts! I’m going to try and make something like that happen! 🎉🥳
I love your energy in every video.
So glad I discovered your channel. Very practical and attainable ideas. Can’t wait to see more!
Hi Casey! Welcome to the channel… I’m so glad you’re here!We’ve got lots more things coming, including a bathroom trends this Friday you won’t want to miss…🙌🏼

Hi Doreen! Thanks so much for your kind comments! You do not want to miss the bathroom trends video premiering today at noon Pacific time! See you soon!😘
Hello, how are you doing my friend
I'm thinking 2 Alex drawers on either side with a slab of wood on top equals instant desk! Seen this a few times and it looks great.
Also, instead of wasting time stripping wallpaper, im covering the ENTIRE walls with peg boards.
Btw, can you attach those kalax shelves to the wall so they're up high as opposed to on the ground?
Don't worry about butchering the names - it sounds better when Americans pronounce the Ikea names in American instead of trying to do it in Swedish 😅🙂😘
Great video BTW and I love the hacks at the end.
Thank you so much Runa for the moral support… The last IKEA video I butchered some of the names, so I was worried! I feel so much better now! Thanks for watching!🙂
a lot of information.great video again..I only which IKEA would have a lot more veneer wood options. maybe we have to wait a few years
Thanks for the kind comments! And yes.. wouldn't that be great! Thanks for watching!
Your advice is always excellent! 😊
Meche! You know I would never steer you wrong! 🤣❤️ Thank you for your kind words and I'm SO glad you're finding these videos helpful!! Yay!!!! 🥳💕🙌🏻
I recently purchased the Havsta system for my craft room. It is beautiful!
WooHoo! Awesome! Thanks for watching!
I so appreciate how excited and energetic you get about sharing your ideas. It makes me feel inspired to try new things!!! I think I’m going to head right over to IKEA as soon as I can and look for the items you recommended- see which ones I like as well. Thank you for another fantastic video!!! I LOVE WATCHING YOUR CHANNEL!!!!!
Wow! Thanks so much for your amazing comment Elizabeth! Thank you for being a part of my channel! 🤩
I really love your videos! Although interior design is a challenge for me, it's something I appreciate and admire. The content of your videos is wonderful! And while I learn a lot it's not overwhelming. And you always make me laugh! Thank you so much!
Hey Ellen! I appreciate your kind comment! Thanks so much for being a part of my channel!
