I just adore all your shopping tours, Hannah. It's not only lovely spending time with you and hearing the hilarious running commentary in your head, but as someone who's legally blind I so much appreciate being able to stop your videos whenever I need to and take a closer look at everything. Ikea is overwhelming for everyone but it's near torture (IRL) for people with disabilities. It was nice to tour the store with you and take breaks as needed while still getting all the details in design, VM, pricing, etc. I *love* those extra details you always add. Thank you!
I love IKEA so much! I've always went with my grandma when I stayed over at hers, because it's closer from her place and they used to have banging child space where you'd pay to keep your children entertained while you do your shopping. There was an absolutely massive ball pit, a dark room with fairytales playing, lots of games and stuff. I'd spend an hour or so there while grandma waited, and then we went around the store. Nowadays I go to IKEA with my parents and sister, it's become our christmas tradition. Every year few days before Christmas we do a massive headache inducing shopping mall run (there's only two good shopping malls near us, and one of them is right next to the massive IKEA. They're also no way near the size of an average UK shopping mall, so it's quite easy) for last minute Christmas presents. We go to IKEA, buy stuff we just absolutely need (ok, sometimes we actually do need it) and that way we can all decide together on which kind of plates we want etc. It's stressful and by the end we're all annoyed at each other and vow not to go to IKEA for another year, but it's amazing. As a Christmas freak I love soaking up the atmosphere and the excitement in the days leading up to the holidays, how everyone is busy trying to get everything done in time and making plans, and shopping malls are a great place to do that. Afterwards, we go to McDonalds and have a proper naughty meal. Best Christmas tradition ever :)
I’m a weirdo who loves to wander IKEA and imagine living in the little rooms/apartments they set up as display. I always end up with something, even if it’s just a candle. I agree their visual merchandising is amazing! To my American palate (hah) their cookies and cinnamon rolls are not very sweet, but we are so over saturated with sugar in this country that normal tastes odd to us. You’ve made me want to go for a wander through now. I’m lucky I live just a few minutes from a very large one, so maybe soon. My normal days off are Fridays and Saturdays so I can shop without the huge crowds on a Friday, lucky me. I’m resting from surgery right now, but I can’t get the idea of a good browse out of my head now, so soon! Thanks for the video, Hannah, really enjoyed it and you looked lovely as always!
Happy Friday Hannah! You must be the world's greatest shopper! Your eye for detail is off the charts! Ikea is a place one exits with a plethora of bits and bobs you never suspected you needed or wanted, feeling a bit mentally exhausted. They do have excellent value on some stuff, and I have had good fortune in their upstairs cafeteria. I am grateful for their thoughtful inclusion of vegetarian items on the menu. The UK merch seems slightly different from what is available here on the west coast of Canada. Take good care Hannah love. See you next week.
The first time I visited Ikea was many years ago when I lived in Germany - it was in the early 90s, we had only been living in Germany for a few months. It was so frustrating, while driving on the autobahn we could see it, but it took months to actually get to it. Now I'm living back in the UK, and we have Ikea in my city. I spend a fortune and as a bonus I use the Ikea bag as a laundry bag - I live in a flat with a shared laundry room. I have a few of the Ikea slatted wooden boxes on my kitchen wall - they make perfect kitchen display shelving.
Hannah, keepin it real!! Your drive had me in stitches 😂, and so true, IKEA is exhausting!! I mean, it's great but SO overwhelming! My daughter had a panic attack when we went the last time so yes breathing exercises are a MUST when you're shopping at IKEA. Time for comfy clothes, tea, and a biscuit! Namaste 🧘🏼♀️💕🫶
I'be never been to an IKEA and this was the first time I've really seen inside one. I agree, it does look like sensory overload! Your chat is like what's going in my head when I go shopping.😊Thanks for taking us there, Hannah.
The driving part at the start was great I loved how you got excited for getting to go faster I've been doing driving lessons and I love going into 30/40 zones then it just feels so slow when its back to 20. I like Ikea but haven't been in ages it's nice to just look in shops without buying or needing things sometimes
IKEA!!! It's always such an event to go to IKEA. Our house is full of Billy bookshelves. My office, my husband's office, our son's room, the living room. My husband said if I could cover every wall with Billy bookshelves, I would. . . . He's not wrong. 😆
*Great visit, thank you!* Twenty-plus years ago, our shopping at Ikea, here in Canada, was always a highlight of our family holidays to the big city, either to the Vancouver area or to Calgary. The children loved to bounce about in the ball room then we'd all go for Swedish meatballs, lingonberry sauce, and those delicious Copenhagen pasties. We didn't buy big stuff, just small things which could fit in the car. We had a number of larger things shipped. Fun times, always exhausting but happily so. Hope to return for a few new items for a bit of change. Thanks again!
Great video Hannah as I am someone who has never been to an IKEA. Also love you little drive to the store bits, you are better and more entertaining than a tourist guide.
Hi Hannah, only you can make an IKEA store entertaining! I haven't been to IKEA in years, so thank you, now I don't have to go for a few more! 😊👍 Years ago, I used to love their little floating candles, then I couldn't find them anymore. Loved your chatting as you drove there & the honk of the horn...well done! Have a wonderful weekend! Thank you for sharing, take really good care, stay well! Lots of love Kathy x💖 (Canada)
Hannah this video made me smile a bunch of times. Your personality flooded through and made it a hoot to watch. IKEA is a biorhythm drain - once every decade and a half is good enough for me! Thanks!
I went to IKEA for my first time a couple months ago because I had my eye on a LOMMARP TV stand. The nearest one is over an hour away and I didn't really have a good reason to go there until I bought a house this summer. I was surprised at how overwhelming that place was especially considering I went to one of the "smaller" stores. I think being overwhelmed was the only reason I didn't spend a ton of money and managed to make it out with just the LOMMARP and then some food stuffs. Next time I go to IKEA I'm going to go to the one that is about 20 minutes further away but is the second largest store in the USA.
Hannah, I enjoyed so much this vlog about IKEA. By the way, it´s so cool when you do your vlogs driving and talking. Indeed, depending on the day and where you go shopping, it can sometimes be very stressful, but even under this condition you managed to keep your beautiful smile and good mood so well. You are the best! As a brazilian, I can say it was so cool to notice the "samba" music you chose as soundtrack for your vlog. Have a wonderful day!
Hannah, first of all, your skin looks beautiful in the video! Yes, it’s normal to browse to get inspiration even if you don’t need anything. I don’t have an IKEA anywhere near where I live, so I liked the video very much. It seems a waste of so much space to feature so many fake flowers and plants! They must be money makers for IKEA. Inexpensive food! Have a great weekend!
Ikea trip -that was fun. Never been to this store although we have a few here in the state I live in Massachusetts. I am still not sure if I enjoy watching and listening to you or watching your videos -both so enjoyable. Hannah, maybe you can just talk to us for a 20- 30 min. vlog about the state of the UK, what your future holds, trips you like to plan, things like that. I am sure your fans would love that. Joel and Lea do this all the time, also UK people who are fun to watch but Hannah you will always be my favorite !! Be Well Howard/Howcotube
I liked the soap dispensers, but my preference is for clear glass so I can see when it needs refilling. It is so easy to over-spend in Ikea because the prices seem reasonable, but it really does add up. I do like their rugs. No one could appreciate a fine Aubusson or Axminster more than me, but the prospect of coffee spills is just too great for me to contemplate such a thing in my own space. Ikea is a lot easier to go to on a weekday. If I have to go on a weekend, I get there first thing in the morning immediately after they open and then you avoid the worst of the queues. Thank you for the video!
Love the shopping vlogs as it's fun to compare your experience and product assortment to what we find in the States. My favorite thing, though, is your off-handed snarky comments. Makes me laugh because you say what we're all thinking and it's great!
Looking stunning Hannah. 🥰😍😘 nice video to get stuck into. They closed the Coventry IKEA down last year. Now have to trek up north or down south from Warwickshire
Every time I step into an IKEA store I end up walking through the same sections and that is when the panic starts to set in because I can't find the way to the checkouts and the exit! Otherwise they do stock some pretty good items which are priced well.....yes, the temptation to chuck a few little bargains into the trolley is highly tempting I am guilty of this. All I need is to get my bearings when I'm one of their colossal stores!🥴A great and entertaining video, well done, Hannah😊
Ahh, Ikea. When I lived in Australia a school mate of mine took me to Ikea when I was homesick! The blue tubes called "Kalles" are smoked fish roe, it tastes a bit fishy, smokey, salty and sweet, we have it with boiled eggs or a thin layer on a piece of toast with butter, you love it or hate it. like with marmite or vegemite, if have grown up with it you are used to it.
I love going to IKEA and not buying anything but just to browse as its so organised and functional unlike my life. I love the small space living ideas. I have a Victorian terrace with lots of old mismatched inherited furniture, but I find still find IKEA inspirational. The style wouldn't really suit my house, but I did put in an IKEA kitchen 14 years ago and it still looks great. Their restaurant is lovely, the food is such good value and feels healthy. I wish they would bring out a clothing range. That would be amazing!
Yes - you took one for the team! We do appreciate how hard that was!! I agree, IKEA is an early morning Monday or Tuesday only kind of place. They have brilliant things and as inexpensive as they are, they last. I have chairs from IKEA that I bought in 1972 that are still in great shape, as well as a couple of side tables, and our current bedroom stuff is from there too. I love their sheets, and agree with you on the round mirrors. I'm a child of the 60's so the Scandinavian esthetic really appeals to me!
Ahhhh Hannah i chuckle all the way through your vlogs because you say exactly what i think 😂. I always seem to leave with wine glasses that i dont need. Your brilliant and funny facial expressions and “thoughts out loud” said it all this week. Thanks for taking us along Hannah great video as always. I am rooting for 100k subscribers for Christmas.
Our Ikea here in Northern California is quite a nice experience. So different than yours. It's calmer even when lots of people. Love to eat lunch there and always find something I need!
I lived in London back in 2005, and I went to Argos to buy bedding and such for my tiny flat. I liked Argos in that they brought your stuff to you! Def less awkward with larger items. But I do love me some IKEA now as well
Thank you Hannah, another excellent vlog and showing me what inside an IKEA looks like because I have never been in one . Even though I come to London a lot watching vlogs like yours teaches me new things , look forward to your next one 👍
Loved your Trip to Ikea 😅. Yes it can be chaos in that shop & exhausting trying to avoid everyone going the wrong way 🤦♀️ not been to Ikea for years . Great to see you again have a Good weekend 🥰
The stand @ 9:36, I’d recommend spray painting the wood any colour you want. I often do that to IKEA things I like but are not quite the shade I want, including changing the handles etc. no one ever thinks they’re IKEA.
You look shell shocked in that outro, lol! I know the feeling, though I've never been in an Ikea. Thanks for battling through it for us--very entertaining!
Nice! I will be moving to London before the end of the year and it is good to know what IKEA has to offer - and as a Brazilian, I also liked to hear a bit of Samba in the soundtrack of the video!
I love Ikea too but totally agree you have to be in the right mood to slowly wander around and be slightly confused about whether or not you actually are buying what you need. 😄
Amazing vlog under difficult circumstances. Ikea is not my favourite shop but your commentary makes the experience so entertaining and uplifting. I enjoyed seeing the visual merchandising. I hope the storage organisers work well 😊I hope you can treat yourself to a nice coffee and enjoy the rest of the weekend ☺️✨☕️☀️
Ha, another fun vlog Hannah, featuring your own personal tour of IKEA & great sense of humor!!! As much as I have always enjoyed your London walking tours, I have recently enjoyed all the "shopping vlogs" as well! Take care Hannah, & have a nice weekend!!!
Helloooo Hannah! Finally we get to see you in Ikea... although at 10:51 we had to be fitted for a neck support brace ("Oh I'm loving this green, deep green" ... "ugh...actually I don't")... the whiplash! I think you should have went for the monitor stand in white with the little drawer... for only 25, you get pretty much what you're looking for. Maybe quite long, but certainly functional at a good price. Thanks for taking us with on this epic journey. 'Til next time!
Thank you Hannah for visiting Ikea. It was very interesting to see what Ikea looks like in England. In principle, everything is the same as everywhere else. I like some things, but the quality in Ikea is average. Sometimes I like to buy some goodies there.❤
Hehehe! I love your tours, Hannah, and your commentary. Please do more driving videos, I'm fascinated by it because it's the complete opposite from how we drive, i.e. almost the rest of the world! I feel like my mind is working harder trying to figure it out!!
There is no IKEA in our entire STATE, so I enjoyed your video visit, stressful as it was for you. I order small things online, but it's interesting to see the HUGE store layout. Thanks, Hannah!
Loved this vlog and having a look around ikea without actually driving there. I’m selling my house so looking at all the rooms they had set up has really given me some great ideas. 😊
I bloody love Ikea, often wish I could just move in :D I always use the shortcut (every big store has one) to skip the rooms, and get to the good stuff! It brings you out by the restaurant, and the stairs and lifts. And the meatballs are amazing :D
I love ikea!! We don't have one in nz, so when I travel to Australia I always go, it's just such a cool experience daydreaming of what my house could look like
You're right, you have to be strict... The stuff and furniture are pretty good, had a lot of Ikea over the years. Weekdays and evenings are best and you do have to be in the right frame of mind, or looking for something in particular
Great trip around Ikea,Hannah and it is so big it takes half a day to get round and you never find what you want but end up with stuff you never meant to buy.It's that sort of store!!!!
Another funny vlog Hannah 😄. I'm with you, I don't particularly enjoy Ikea. Good for ideas. Your comments made us laugh. I really loved the drive there. Maybe you could take us on another drive around London one day 🙂🙂🙂 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Good on you, sticking it out even tho it was over-stimulating. Taking a minute in a quiet place was a good idea. Also, love the restraint and only getting what is practical. So easy to get sucked in by some of that lovely staging. Staging an item among other complimentary items always looks more tempting. I enjoyed the trip with you all the way over the pond in the US.
Wow Hannah, such fun being guided around IKEA with your fun commentary. I'm a Londoner living in Istanbul which has three IKEA stores, been to them all, but you are absolutely right, the best time to go is during the week, Mondays are the best, no pushing and shoving or screaming kids. I liked the white monitor base, did you buy it in the end?
Hey beautiful Hannah, your IKEA in your area is much nicer than the one here in the Dallas metro area! Fabulous job as usual lovely lady! You are awesome! 😁👍✌️💕
Loved the ikea vlog. Your commentary is always on point with a dash of humour. It's pretty crazy how identical the wembley ikea looks to the ones here in the toronto, canada. Wild stuff.
I first went to Ikea Wembley years ago to help a friend who had just bought her first flat: she bought nothing - I filled up her entire car! Hammersmith is my hometown (funnily enough, was there today!), and much prefer that Ikea - can deal with it - though did get lost in there first visit! Can highly recommend the frozen meatballs in the shop section! Ikea is a shop you go into not needing anything - and always leaving with something!
Ikeas are super busy over here in Sydney as well, not a place gone to by choice on the weekend. Your expressions after telling that driver what for and at the end were hilarious! Thanks again for taking us for the fun and games. If you're looking for something to mount your monitor at home you just need a VESA mount arm and a monitor that is VESA compatible (most are... mostly). Have fun!
Hi Hannah, being half Swedish I clicked super fast. Not that it really matters but IKEA is pronounced eekea. The Kalles Kaviar is cod roe which Swedes squeeze on boiled eggs and bread, I've yet to meet a non Swede who likes it, you kinda need to have grown up with it. IKEA trips definitely best on a quiet weekday, otherwise too crowded. Nice vid , all the best.
Well this was fun 😊. I’m not close to an IKEA, so I have to order and gosh, I’ve sent a lot back. Who knew they had food ? Leave it to Hannah to find the yummy bits lol 😂. Great job and your over 80 thousand subscribers 🎊 🎉❤
Wow, you did such a good job filtering out the loud noise. Hardly noticed the children. Lots of fun ideas. As for the under-computer monitor, I bought mine from Amazon. It has a pull-out open drawer attached under where I put business books and such. It can be taken out if not needed. Thanks for the fun ride.
I love an Ikea shop but you are right you have to be in the mood but even if you are often when you are on the way out you’ve certainly had enough. A good time to go if you can’t go on a weekday try an evening between 1900 and 2000 no children and very quiet!
Thanks for another lovely tour! Although, I could see your stress levels rising by the minute! 😆 Weekends can often be chaotic that's for sure, but weekdays are definitely quieter. IKEA is another store though, where you somehow end up buying things you never intended to! 😂 Thanks Hannah!
Love your tours.!!! Love the non stop commentary!!!! Always make me happy! You're a natural. We have an Ikea shop in Adelaide but not as good as the one you showed us today & I agree you have to be in the right mood to go there. Take care.
Its been a few years since I was in Ikea its always so big lol Fun to go once in a while, I do like to see the layouts of rooms they make up too always giving ideas I would never think of. I would of needed fries after that for sure lol
Thanks Hannah.. my problem with IKEA is there are no windows in my store (Croydon) and I get disoriented. It’s amazing whilst walking round just how much stuff you discover you need!!! Roughly twice a year is enough for me.
Really just like our IKEA in the US. I love going in with an open mind and finding these useful tools like a scrub brush or your lint roller. Inexpensive and last a long time. The crowds can definitely be annoying. Thanks for sharing! Love your videos!
Ikea seems SO stressful to me! I'm the same, I don't like super loud, crazy shopping experiences like that with infinate stuff to choose from. Those mirrors were really cute but am I the only one who gets nervous hanging stuff over the bed or bath, like I'm always paranoid it's just going to fall one day on my head LOL
Putting a monitor on an arm is actually really easy. Just check that your monitor has a VESA bracket first. If it is connected to its stand with 4 screws at the back, or you see the four little screws, you're good. Then just get a stand that works the way you want it. These can be a bit pricey, but that's life. They fasten into the back of your desk, or to the wall (check which type you buy). So if it's something you want to do, don't worry, it's pretty simple. As for exposed wood etc. You can just paint it. It's just normal wood. They even sell you the paints to do it, if you just want to make one trip.
Thank you for taking us to IKEA - it looks just like the one here in Atlanta, Georgia. It is just as stressful at our IKEA, especially when you are looking for an item in the warehouse. On the weekends, it is usually so crowded you can hardly move, and the lines to check out are halfway back through the warehouse. I am afraid to go to IKEA anymore, because it is in downtown Atlanta, in one of those live, work, play communities, and last week there was a shooting in the middle of the community, just down the street from the store. Atlanta, like many of our big cities here, is getting too dangerous, so I will have to order online if I want anything.
I just adore all your shopping tours, Hannah. It's not only lovely spending time with you and hearing the hilarious running commentary in your head, but as someone who's legally blind I so much appreciate being able to stop your videos whenever I need to and take a closer look at everything. Ikea is overwhelming for everyone but it's near torture (IRL) for people with disabilities. It was nice to tour the store with you and take breaks as needed while still getting all the details in design, VM, pricing, etc. I *love* those extra details you always add. Thank you!
Let me know if there are any stores you’d like me to vlog

I have a Victorian terrace with lots of old mismatched inherited furniture, but I find still find IKEA inspirational. The style wouldn't really suit my house, but I did put in an IKEA kitchen 14 years ago and it still looks great. Their restaurant is lovely, the food is such good value and feels healthy. I wish they would bring out a clothing range. That would be amazing!
Yasss it is NORMAL to just go and look at stuff. I love it!
Yes - you took one for the team! We do appreciate how hard that was!! I agree, IKEA is an early morning Monday or Tuesday only kind of place. They have brilliant things and as inexpensive as they are, they last. I have chairs from IKEA that I bought in 1972 that are still in great shape, as well as a couple of side tables, and our current bedroom stuff is from there too. I love their sheets, and agree with you on the round mirrors. I'm a child of the 60's so the Scandinavian esthetic really appeals to me!
Loved the Ikea vlog! Thank you Hannah!
Don't feel bad Hannah, I went to Ikea about 20 years ago... Ain't been back since, absolutely maddening 🤬. Keep the vlogs coming 🌹👍
Ahhhh Hannah i chuckle all the way through your vlogs because you say exactly what i think 😂. I always seem to leave with wine glasses that i dont need. Your brilliant and funny facial expressions and “thoughts out loud” said it all this week. Thanks for taking us along Hannah great video as always. I am rooting for 100k subscribers for Christmas.
Thanks so much! Maybe 90k but I’ll take that!!
Our Ikea here in Northern California is quite a nice experience. So different than yours. It's calmer even when lots of people. Love to eat lunch there and always find something I need!
Hi Hanna!! I’ve always wanted to try the princess cake at IKEA. It looks so good.
I lived in London back in 2005, and I went to Argos to buy bedding and such for my tiny flat. I liked Argos in that they brought your stuff to you! Def less awkward with larger items. But I do love me some IKEA now as well
Thank you Hannah, another excellent vlog and showing me what inside an IKEA looks like because I have never been in one . Even though I come to London a lot watching vlogs like yours teaches me new things , look forward to your next one 👍
Loved your Trip to Ikea 😅. Yes it can be chaos in that shop & exhausting trying to avoid everyone going the wrong way 🤦♀️ not been to Ikea for years .
Great to see you again have a Good weekend 🥰
Thank you for doing, Hannah, what I never will! IKEA is a nightmare.
Thank you, Hannah for the IKEA expedition. I think your IKEA is much nicer than ours here in America.
It's better than ours here in Western Australia too.
My daughter and two small grandsons went to our ST Louis IKEA today. I watched your video yesterday and wanted to go again.
Really, I thought the one in America one would be amazing!
@@memeq5812 some but not all are really nice
The stand @ 9:36, I’d recommend spray painting the wood any colour you want. I often do that to IKEA things I like but are not quite the shade I want, including changing the handles etc. no one ever thinks they’re IKEA.
I really enjoyed watching that
You make shopping fun...and i hate shopping 😆
You look shell shocked in that outro, lol! I know the feeling, though I've never been in an Ikea. Thanks for battling through it for us--very entertaining!
Nice! I will be moving to London before the end of the year and it is good to know what IKEA has to offer - and as a Brazilian, I also liked to hear a bit of Samba in the soundtrack of the video!
Ikea is a lovely place to go when you have nothing else to do, unless its a saturday or sunday around lunch- its super busy.
That was so much fun🎯 thanks Hanna for taking one for the team..I’m knacked just watching it💯💜
I love Ikea too but totally agree you have to be in the right mood to slowly wander around and be slightly confused about whether or not you actually are buying what you need. 😄
Amazing vlog under difficult circumstances. Ikea is not my favourite shop but your commentary makes the experience so entertaining and uplifting. I enjoyed seeing the visual merchandising. I hope the storage organisers work well 😊I hope you can treat yourself to a nice coffee and enjoy the rest of the weekend ☺️✨☕️☀️
Ha, another fun vlog Hannah, featuring your own personal tour of IKEA & great sense of humor!!! As much as I have always enjoyed your London walking tours, I have recently enjoyed all the "shopping vlogs" as well! Take care Hannah, & have a nice weekend!!!
Thanks Hannah. I would normally avoid IKEA like the plague but you made it fun.
Liked your driving commentary: you’ll could be on Top Gear!
Dream job!
Re your “Super casual Hannah” looks lovely. Stunning, you know it 🥰❤️😍😘you know I like you tonnes
Hi Hannah what I love about your vlogs...you don't always love about where you go...and you let us know...love it keep it up take care
Helloooo Hannah! Finally we get to see you in Ikea... although at 10:51 we had to be fitted for a neck support brace ("Oh I'm loving this green, deep green" ... "ugh...actually I don't")... the whiplash! I think you should have went for the monitor stand in white with the little drawer... for only 25, you get pretty much what you're looking for. Maybe quite long, but certainly functional at a good price. Thanks for taking us with on this epic journey. 'Til next time!
Thank you Hannah for visiting Ikea. It was very interesting to see what Ikea looks like in England. In principle, everything is the same as everywhere else. I like some things, but the quality in Ikea is average. Sometimes I like to buy some goodies there.❤
Thank you for taking us along, my idea of hard work!!
Thank you Hannah! I have not been to IKEA in years, great place when setting up a home!🇨🇦❤️
Hehehe! I love your tours, Hannah, and your commentary. Please do more driving videos, I'm fascinated by it because it's the complete opposite from how we drive, i.e. almost the rest of the world! I feel like my mind is working harder trying to figure it out!!
I just go to IKEA for my dinner a couple of times a week. Meatballs and chips FTW✌️
Awesome video thanks - not been to the Wembley one for so long!
Thanks for letting me see it vicariously... subscribed!
There is no IKEA in our entire STATE, so I enjoyed your video visit, stressful as it was for you. I order small things online, but it's interesting to see the HUGE store layout. Thanks, Hannah!
Great vlog Hannah I even got another idea for an item that looks interesting. Keep up the great work. Christmas is coming!!! :)) 🥰❤
Loved this vlog and having a look around ikea without actually driving there. I’m selling my house so looking at all the rooms they had set up has really given me some great ideas. 😊
You saved us from screaming thanks. We can only endure IKEA once a year these days at the most!
I bloody love Ikea, often wish I could just move in :D I always use the shortcut (every big store has one) to skip the rooms, and get to the good stuff! It brings you out by the restaurant, and the stairs and lifts. And the meatballs are amazing :D
I love ikea!! We don't have one in nz, so when I travel to Australia I always go, it's just such a cool experience daydreaming of what my house could look like
You're right, you have to be strict...
The stuff and furniture are pretty good, had a lot of Ikea over the years.
Weekdays and evenings are best and you do have to be in the right frame of mind, or looking for something in particular
Love the tour, excited for when you do your Christmas stores tours!
Hannah I love you and this vlog! Thank you for being honest and I couldn’t agree with you more about everything.
Great trip around Ikea,Hannah and it is so big it takes half a day to get round and you never find what you want but end up with stuff you never meant to buy.It's that sort of store!!!!
Another funny vlog Hannah 😄. I'm with you, I don't particularly enjoy Ikea. Good for ideas. Your comments made us laugh. I really loved the drive there. Maybe you could take us on another drive around London one day 🙂🙂🙂 🇦🇺 🇦🇺 🇦🇺
Good on you, sticking it out even tho it was over-stimulating. Taking a minute in a quiet place was a good idea. Also, love the restraint and only getting what is practical. So easy to get sucked in by some of that lovely staging. Staging an item among other complimentary items always looks more tempting. I enjoyed the trip with you all the way over the pond in the US.
Wow Hannah, such fun being guided around IKEA with your fun commentary. I'm a Londoner living in Istanbul which has three IKEA stores, been to them all, but you are absolutely right, the best time to go is during the week, Mondays are the best, no pushing and shoving or screaming kids. I liked the white monitor base, did you buy it in the end?
No I didn’t.. it’s kinda the wrong size but still a great product!!
Hey beautiful Hannah, your IKEA in your area is much nicer than the one here in the Dallas metro area! Fabulous job as usual lovely lady! You are awesome! 😁👍✌️💕
Loved the ikea vlog. Your commentary is always on point with a dash of humour. It's pretty crazy how identical the wembley ikea looks to the ones here in the toronto, canada. Wild stuff.
I first went to Ikea Wembley years ago to help a friend who had just bought her first flat: she bought nothing - I filled up her entire car! Hammersmith is my hometown (funnily enough, was there today!), and much prefer that Ikea - can deal with it - though did get lost in there first visit! Can highly recommend the frozen meatballs in the shop section! Ikea is a shop you go into not needing anything - and always leaving with something!
Ikeas are super busy over here in Sydney as well, not a place gone to by choice on the weekend. Your expressions after telling that driver what for and at the end were hilarious! Thanks again for taking us for the fun and games. If you're looking for something to mount your monitor at home you just need a VESA mount arm and a monitor that is VESA compatible (most are... mostly). Have fun!
Hi Hannah, being half Swedish I clicked super fast. Not that it really matters but IKEA is pronounced eekea. The Kalles Kaviar is cod roe which Swedes squeeze on boiled eggs and bread, I've yet to meet a non Swede who likes it, you kinda need to have grown up with it. IKEA trips definitely best on a quiet weekday, otherwise too crowded. Nice vid , all the best.
never knew how to pronounce it, thanks!
Well this was fun 😊. I’m not close to an IKEA, so I have to order and gosh, I’ve sent a lot back. Who knew they had food ? Leave it to Hannah to find the yummy bits lol 😂. Great job and your over 80 thousand subscribers 🎊 🎉❤
Thank you!
Wow, you did such a good job filtering out the loud noise. Hardly noticed the children. Lots of fun ideas. As for the under-computer monitor, I bought mine from Amazon. It has a pull-out open drawer attached under where I put business books and such. It can be taken out if not needed. Thanks for the fun ride.
Hannah
Love IKEA. Lot of great find
James
I love an Ikea shop but you are right you have to be in the mood but even if you are often when you are on the way out you’ve certainly had enough. A good time to go if you can’t go on a weekday try an evening between 1900 and 2000 no children and very quiet!
100% agree on having to be in the right frame of mind for IKEA or its a waste of a day 🤣 I'd love an H&M home vlog as there isn't one near me 😭 x
Thanks for another lovely tour! Although, I could see your stress levels rising by the minute! 😆 Weekends can often be chaotic that's for sure, but weekdays are definitely quieter. IKEA is another store though, where you somehow end up buying things you never intended to! 😂 Thanks Hannah!
Cheers! Always interested in what Ikea looks like across the pond. Brenda, Maryland, USA
Love your tours.!!! Love the non stop commentary!!!! Always make me happy! You're a natural. We have an Ikea shop in Adelaide but not as good as the one you showed us today & I agree you have to be in the right mood to go there. Take care.
Oh you never fail to make me smile. It’s the first time I have ever enjoyed IKEA 😂
Its been a few years since I was in Ikea its always so big lol Fun to go once in a while, I do like to see the layouts of rooms they make up too always giving ideas I would never think of. I would of needed fries after that for sure lol
Thanks Hannah.. my problem with IKEA is there are no windows in my store (Croydon) and I get disoriented. It’s amazing whilst walking round just how much stuff you discover you need!!! Roughly twice a year is enough for me.
Really just like our IKEA in the US. I love going in with an open mind and finding these useful tools like a scrub brush or your lint roller. Inexpensive and last a long time. The crowds can definitely be annoying. Thanks for sharing! Love your videos!
Haha Hannah your face at the end made the best expression when eating the chips. You were like, "Oh Ikea..." (shakes head). Haha love it!
IKEA is a fun day trip whenever. I get such inspiration from browsing there.
Great vlog as per. You always make me laugh so much! I find ikea massively overwhelming as well. 🥵
Ikea seems SO stressful to me! I'm the same, I don't like super loud, crazy shopping experiences like that with infinate stuff to choose from. Those mirrors were really cute but am I the only one who gets nervous hanging stuff over the bed or bath, like I'm always paranoid it's just going to fall one day on my head LOL
Fun vlog. Screaming kids drive me nuts too. It's such a relief to go home again.😄
Putting a monitor on an arm is actually really easy.
Just check that your monitor has a VESA bracket first. If it is connected to its stand with 4 screws at the back, or you see the four little screws, you're good.
Then just get a stand that works the way you want it. These can be a bit pricey, but that's life. They fasten into the back of your desk, or to the wall (check which type you buy).
So if it's something you want to do, don't worry, it's pretty simple.
As for exposed wood etc. You can just paint it. It's just normal wood. They even sell you the paints to do it, if you just want to make one trip.
I will look into this thanks!
Hi Hannah! Totally agree, you have to be in an IKEA state of mind to shop there! 😂
Thank you for taking us to IKEA - it looks just like the one here in Atlanta, Georgia. It is just as stressful at our IKEA, especially when you are looking for an item in the warehouse. On the weekends, it is usually so crowded you can hardly move, and the lines to check out are halfway back through the warehouse. I am afraid to go to IKEA anymore, because it is in downtown Atlanta, in one of those live, work, play communities, and last week there was a shooting in the middle of the community, just down the street from the store. Atlanta, like many of our big cities here, is getting too dangerous, so I will have to order online if I want anything.
I love watching you drive through London. IKEA is exhausting. You could always paint the wooden frame of the circular mirror.❤️
