I've yet to find a designer's site where I could sit and watch one video after another without getting annoyed or bored...until now. You're both funny and informative all in one. Luvs it!
Wow. This is my second video. I love how you go to the point and don't fluff the content, you're funny and classy. Everything you say is informative and creative. New favorite home design channel.
Dear Nick: I was reading the comments below, (and this is my 4th video): Fact is, I love you Nick! I live in the kind of home that probably would horrify you but it works becausen priority 1 for hubby and I is that we have our own separate levels.....as in floors....so (I can't believe I purchased a suburban high ranch but I did and had I had your advice it would work even more efficiently than it does.....) When I started, I did a deep dive into Japanese design / decor and so the home is not obnoxious. Wish this wasn't the first time (4 shows is a minimal into)....consider our first date a success..... Thanks for doing both Ikea and "high end".......learning as I go....Thank you for making decor a relaxing creative experience as opposed to a panic inducing terror trip..... I would love to see a series on "decorating" from step 1 for stupid first time home owners......my best strength: knowing what I do not know.....and recognizing people who do (you) looking forward to more....G PS Is there an RH-like furniture line but smaller? G
I wanted to do my bathroom but my computer doesn't support flash and my husband asked me not to download flash. And Ikea said they had a new design system coming. I thought: Great! I waited. The new system came in and... I can't make heads or tails of it. I'm completely lost and I can't use it. I've shown my husband, he can't figure it out either. We're going to wait a few more years to save up the extra cost of getting a contractor to do our bathroom for us. I suppose we won't be buying our bathroom from Ikea because most of the draw was that we could do it ourselves.
I absolutely LOVE your reviews, opinions, and style choices! I am moving into my first home in a few months and you are literally my interior design guide!
We just purchased the Nordviken dining table, and we love it! It’s so clean lined, sturdy, and stores two leaves, so we can host a crowd...someday! The natural wood looks amazing with our black chairs.
So happy I found your channel : ) I’m not an IKEA shopper (for no real reason) but you’ve shown me several must haves. I love your honesty and your humor. Very excited to binge more of your content!
Excellent content! I love your idea for the desk (7:55) utilizing the Alex drawer unit! Where can I find the “sawhorse” style desk supports for under the Karlby countertop?
OMG! Where have you been all my life? This is hands-down my new favorite channel in the entire world! How talented are you?! I am ready to wear a sandwich board and go out Into the street and tell everyone they need to subscribe to the Nick Lewis channel ; you are fantastic!
The Bingsta chair in yellow realy captured my attention when browsing their store. Gives off the high end designer feel with a pop of color from when that was popular. Only thing is that it would be awesome if they allso offerd it in a higher priced natural fiber and wooden legs, because it is polyester.
How come noone (especially from USA, Canada etc) mentions the Ivar range? Which is IKEAs oldest solid wood shelf system that they have had and developed for over 50yrs... It is so popular in Northern Europe and Scandinavian because it is simple, robust, clean line, light, natural, flat-packable for moving, adaptable, interchangeable and ages really well!... It is perfect for Scandinavian style, but also fits into many other styles.... Just curious?
I just looked at the Ivar line. It has to be because it looks very pinewood with the visible knots and that’s considered furniture you’d only find in backwood cabins etc.
@@JMJ.516 yes is it pine wood... But we like that in Europe because it is light I colour and weight, and a very easily sustainable wood because it grows here in Europe and grows fast! And we like the knots because it gives character! Dark hardwoods are often illegal from eg rainforests and make a house look dark.. So doesn't fit with sustainable sources and aren't scandinavian style which we like here in our smaller European homes.
After months and months of searching for a buffet style cabinet for our modern dining room we were frustrated by the thousands of dollars it was going to cost. Then the angels shined down from heaven and we found the besta cabinets! We bought seven, with doors and hung them at counter height. Voila! Perfection. Exactly what we needed and 10 years later they are still there, with a lot of weight. I highly recommend!
My husband and I have butchers block countertop desks with Alex drawers! The Alex drawers were my idea. He’d made his into a more industrial thing, but got jealous of my storage space and switched.
The coolest item I ever bought from IKEA was the Billy bookcase with glass doors. I loved it so much I bought a second and rigged each with picture lights. I have them in dark indigo blue and they flank the window in my living room. I'll probably never part with them, but if I tire of the blue, I'll simply paint them black.
I just found you, because I am about to buy a pax wardrobe so I needed some reviews... and I am sooo much in love with your channel. It´s perfection. Straight to the point, but still interestingly detailed explanations. I guess it is your personality, I don´t know, but seriously: you are a fresh phenomenon on YT who seems to be very authentic and not superficial. Please keep up your exquisite content! :)
Im getting ready to buy my first house, and I have nothing to put in it. Thank goodness we're building, so that gives me time to collect the necessary stuff. I gotta check out Ikea! Thanks so much for your helpful videos!
I think my favorite IKEA product is the SKUBB storage system. They're great for adding additional storage space in a closet in the case of the hanging SKUBB organizers, which said space may be at a premium in a smaller apartment like mine. And it's nice to create an inexpensive closet organizer without the cost of a custom closet when you can't afford one or can't do custom in an apartment rental.
Anything in the Hemnes collection. It is solid wood not particle board and it’s in a Lucious brown black which is amazing. I have a few pieces and they are super durable plus all the drawers are lined with a stripe pattern liner. Easy to assemble and simply stunning. Especially for traditionalist decor.
We took a break from our ikea kitchen install to put the Boaxel in our master closet. The state is great, especially for the price! It’s going in every closet and pantry now!!
Moved into a house with no kitchen storage at all, so got the Bror system in black to put in the dining room and put all my stuff out on display. Looked amazing.
Just found your channel today, I really like your style. You don't come across snobby at all. I have subscribed & of course liked. Have problems sleeping, so I have been binge watching.
Your videos are my favorite (or "favourite", if you're north of the border), and I really appreciate how much you love IKEA!! Keep the content coming, I am watching and rewatching as I'm preparing to renovate my new apartment.
wow i kinda feel proud of myself for choosing designer approved ikea stuff lol i really love LOVE my bestå but also my pax closet and godmorgon in tha bathroom & also the mosslada in the living room 😊 recently got the „new“ skaftet standing light, it’s super nice & modern too! i just love ikea 🤪
So many TH-camrs love Ikea, I will have to give it another shot. It's been years since I was in one, all I ever got there was a large bag of tea lights haha. I'll try again!
I really love Ikea in general, but the Boaxel/Algot system is a bit rickety - I had it in the utility room in my old house. Go for Elfa instead - it’s slightly more expensive, but sturdy, everything fits everything else and has been around forever.
I’m so glad I found your channel. I’m probably going to do the Alex drawer with possibly the kitchen counter in my studio/office/dining room. I had my own version half baked in my mind but yours is perfect! Thanks!
You deserve to get millions of subscribers and fan and because you really work hard and great videos and I just started watching your video a few mins ago and I see you make alot of rental friendly tips and tricks for everyone and it really helps me and alot of other people and god bless u ❤
The Alex drawer is a good solid furniture. The different drawers in the furniture does not lie to you about the depth of them. You can actually store a lot in it
YAS!!! We got the Mallsten deck tiles this summer and love them! Adds a fun little Mediterranean flare to our balcony! Oh, and our Bestå cabinets are the BEST! We placed several of them along a entire white wall in our open-concept living/dining area (we chose no legs so they sit directly on the floor); it makes for a very clean look!
I wish I had a bigger bedroom to fit in Nordkisa wardrobe! I would repaint it in an ash colour, and I imagine it in a asian/breezy linnen like atmosphere. Your videos has such inspirational energy, love it! Glad I found your channel!
I have a spot in my basement that I want to use for storage and the Bror would be perfect! Adds storage but isn't just your typical metal shelving unit
Hey Nick! Just started watching your videos a couple of dsys ago and l'm really enjoying them. I have a request though. Can you do a video for those of us who live in an RV or tiny
Hi Nick, i'm a new french follower and I love (ikea and) your style and your taste. J'adore. Go on, it's very cool! (Am I the only one who sees a Ben Affleck ressemblance?)
Another great video, I’m planning to makeover my Master room (since you’ve already made clear that hope is not a strategy 😉) and have been eyeing those picture shelves to make a gallery wall that I can change. Was hoping to use the Pax tool to plan my walk in closet, but I guess it’s probably better to do measurements and placement by hand. Learning a lot from you, thanks! 🤗
If it's a really simple PAX, then measuring yourself might make sense. If you are doing a complex PAX with corners in a small closet then you should probably use the awful software! 😬
Hi! New subscriber as well. Do nice to get a guy’s perspective LOL! I appreciated your photos showing how you’ve used the products ... and especially because you featured new IKEA favs. I too have the Pax unit and love it! My master closet is nice size for me but probably smaller than most so I’ve added white Billy bookcases one the other side. It’s a real treat to have that “luxury” feel when you’re a senior!
My two favourite IKEA purchases of all time - and unfortunately they’re no longer available in Canada (but they may still sell in some countries) - are the: 1. indoor / outdoor high back, black rattan armchairs from 4 years ago called the Storsele, and 2. A black metal table lamp (they also made a floor lamp and a ceiling pendant I believe) from way back - 10-15 years ago. I cannot remember the name but it looked like a designer Atollo lamp except with a skinny base. Screamed 60s mod to me as opposed to the turn-of-the-century, industrial look of the Hektor line which I like too (even though Atollo was 1970s I think...). Man I miss that line of lighting. It’s the first line I can recall from this shift IKEA made towards incorporating pieces that look very high end / designer to their basics that we all know and love. We kind of expect that from IKEA now but it wasn’t always like that, at least in my memory. I still have that dang table lamp that broke probably 10 years ago and at the time, my local lighting repair shop said not to bother (ie we may be able to repair but it’s not worth the cost, just buy a new one). I’ve lugged that thing through 5 different house moves thinking I must try again with a different repair shop and just never got to it. So your video has given me a kick in the pants to get that neglected lamp fixed and back out on display! 🙌🏻
I don't know if you have kids or not but some ideas about organizing books and toys aside from purging them would be very helpful. My son is 4 has his own "gutters screwed into studs to hold the books" library and is a monster truck fan. So there are a lot of them and throwing them isn't an option. If ikea has systems for that ideas would be great!
I don't know where you got your art framed and I also live on the other side of the world (Belgium) but I get my pictures and art that is not standard format framed at a local art supply store. Their prices are quite reasonable, they have a lot of frame choices and they're totally used to framing things with rough edges or raised patterns.
I've yet to find a designer's site where I could sit and watch one video after another without getting annoyed or bored...until now. You're both funny and informative all in one. Luvs it!
Wow. This is my second video. I love how you go to the point and don't fluff the content, you're funny and classy. Everything you say is informative and creative. New favorite home design channel.
This was probably the best Ikea review I've seen so far. You do just enough talking and everything is worth hearing. Great job.
Thanks! You will love tomorrow’s video - another ikea favourites!
Totally just binged about 7 videos. As an interior designer I am hooked! I need the tile stuff now for my place as I currently rent.
This review was terrific! I swear by the huge Ikea candles. They elevate the lighting in my house and are so inexpensive.
Dear Nick: I was reading the comments below, (and this is my 4th video): Fact is, I love you Nick!
I live in the kind of home that probably would horrify you but it works becausen priority 1 for hubby and I is that we have our own separate levels.....as in floors....so (I can't believe I purchased a suburban high ranch but I did and had I had your advice it would work even more efficiently than it does.....)
When I started, I did a deep dive into Japanese design / decor and so the home is not obnoxious.
Wish this wasn't the first time (4 shows is a minimal into)....consider our first date a success.....
Thanks for doing both Ikea and "high end".......learning as I go....Thank you for making decor a relaxing creative experience as opposed to a panic inducing terror trip.....
I would love to see a series on "decorating" from step 1 for stupid first time home owners......my best strength: knowing what I do not know.....and recognizing people who do (you) looking forward to more....G PS Is there an RH-like furniture line but smaller? G
FYI the PAX design system has been updated since Flash is dead and it's now a dream to build your wardrobe!!!
Glad you told me that. That's my night sorted lol
I wanted to do my bathroom but my computer doesn't support flash and my husband asked me not to download flash. And Ikea said they had a new design system coming. I thought: Great! I waited.
The new system came in and... I can't make heads or tails of it. I'm completely lost and I can't use it. I've shown my husband, he can't figure it out either. We're going to wait a few more years to save up the extra cost of getting a contractor to do our bathroom for us. I suppose we won't be buying our bathroom from Ikea because most of the draw was that we could do it ourselves.
I absolutely LOVE your reviews, opinions, and style choices! I am moving into my first home in a few months and you are literally my interior design guide!
Oooh...those frames! I'm planning a wall dedicated to all our past foster dogs. I like the simplicity of those frames!
We just purchased the Nordviken dining table, and we love it! It’s so clean lined, sturdy, and stores two leaves, so we can host a crowd...someday! The natural wood looks amazing with our black chairs.
So happy I found your channel : ) I’m not an IKEA shopper (for no real reason) but you’ve shown me several must haves. I love your honesty and your humor. Very excited to binge more of your content!
I love the idea of using an IKEA countertop with the Alex drawers. That’s one way of making a big desk instead of 2 desks side by side.
Excellent content! I love your idea for the desk (7:55) utilizing the Alex drawer unit!
Where can I find the “sawhorse” style desk supports for under the Karlby countertop?
OMG! Where have you been all my life? This is hands-down my new favorite channel in the entire world! How talented are you?! I am ready to wear a sandwich board and go out Into the street and tell everyone they need to subscribe to the Nick Lewis channel ; you are fantastic!
lol That's awesome! If you do the sandwich board, I want photos! 🤣
I had to pause and laugh out loud, “I’d take free hot dogs if they were giving them to be honest” hahahaha!
It's Ikea... Meatballs!!!
IVAR. Always IVAR. Best ever, with lots of room for personal touches on the naked pine. I stained mine walnut and added the wine racks.
The Bingsta chair in yellow realy captured my attention when browsing their store. Gives off the high end designer feel with a pop of color from when that was popular. Only thing is that it would be awesome if they allso offerd it in a higher priced natural fiber and wooden legs, because it is polyester.

I love the tips. Stylish, functional, minimal. Best channel for the way my brain works.

I have them in dark indigo blue and they flank the window in my living room. I'll probably never part with them, but if I tire of the blue, I'll simply paint them black.
I liked that you listed different items then all the other folks :) I am tired of hearing Billy bookcase etc ...
I love Billy but time to branch out to see what else Ikea has to offer, right?
I like how you see the clock hands move behind you as you edit
I just found you, because I am about to buy a pax wardrobe so I needed some reviews... and I am sooo much in love with your channel. It´s perfection. Straight to the point, but still interestingly detailed explanations.

Im getting ready to buy my first house, and I have nothing to put in it. Thank goodness we're building, so that gives me time to collect the necessary stuff. I gotta check out Ikea! Thanks so much for your helpful videos!
My top value piece from IKEA: EXPEDIT shelving unit / room divider / display unit. The largest, 5x5 = 25 cubes, is in perfect scale.
Hi Nick, loving your vibe & your approach to design & aesthetic. Happily subscribing 😍
My IKEA was really picked over as far as the vinter decor so you got to shop early. Great video ❄️🎄❤️
I think my favorite IKEA product is the SKUBB storage system. They're great for adding additional storage space in a closet in the case of the hanging SKUBB organizers, which said space may be at a premium in a smaller apartment like mine. And it's nice to create an inexpensive closet organizer without the cost of a custom closet when you can't afford one or can't do custom in an apartment rental.
Some of my favorites at IKEA are their area rugs. They've got a great selection at lots of price points.
Anything in the Hemnes collection. It is solid wood not particle board and it’s in a Lucious brown black which is amazing. I have a few pieces and they are super durable plus all the drawers are lined with a stripe pattern liner.
Easy to assemble and simply stunning. Especially for traditionalist decor.
Thanks Nick, you’re a valuable member of an over crowded field
I bought white Mosslanda shelves and painted them spring green. Looks great in my living room.
Oh fun!
We took a break from our ikea kitchen install to put the Boaxel in our master closet. The state is great, especially for the price!
It’s going in every closet and pantry now!!
Moved into a house with no kitchen storage at all, so got the Bror system in black to put in the dining room and put all my stuff out on display. Looked amazing.
Oh awesome! I think it's super cool in a main space. They sell it for garage, but it's really cool and industrial and I love that.
I really love the Hemnes Series 😊 you can easy add some details and boom it doesn't look like Ikea anymore 😯👍🎊
Loved the Mosslanda art shelves. Also quite liked the metal industrial-type shelves; I wish I had room for them.
Yes I love shopping at IKEA for frames! I like to get their frames for some of my 6 yr old sons artwork.
Loving all your content Nick, just stumbled upon you today and have learned so much already watching all your design clips! Thank you!
Awesome, thank you! Hope get value out of the videos!
@Amy Bradley So sweet! Thanks!
Now everyone need to check out the Gävle Goat, and what happens to it almost every year. Great video!
love this video. so many people look down at IKEA and I love it. Thank you!
Thanks for watching! IKEA has some great products!
Just found your channel today, I really like your style. You don't come across snobby at all. I have subscribed & of course liked.
Have problems sleeping, so I have been binge watching.
IKEA is truly a god send when on a budget!!!!
Luv the chair and the bamboo tray!
We have two of the Hector lamps. They are great for reading or crafts. They are very easy to arrange for close work or general lighting.
Your videos are my favorite (or "favourite", if you're north of the border), and I really appreciate how much you love IKEA!! Keep the content coming, I am watching and rewatching as I'm preparing to renovate my new apartment.
Hi Nick, can u make a video about rugs trends for 2021? I’d love to see that 😍
wow i kinda feel proud of myself for choosing designer approved ikea stuff lol i really love LOVE my bestå but also my pax closet and godmorgon in tha bathroom & also the mosslada in the living room 😊 recently got the „new“ skaftet standing light, it’s super nice & modern too! i just love ikea 🤪
So many TH-camrs love Ikea, I will have to give it another shot. It's been years since I was in one, all I ever got there was a large bag of tea lights haha. I'll try again!

Yeah it works great! I cut mine down to size which is great and a bit customizable.
Unbeatable: IKEA Metod Kitchen plus interior (with Reform or other alternatives)
You deserve to get millions of subscribers and fan and because you really work hard and great videos and I just started watching your video a few mins ago and I see you make alot of rental friendly tips and tricks for everyone and it really helps me and alot of other people and god bless u ❤
love your Channel you have great taste and Canadian , many thanks for informative reviews-always look forward to your videos ! 😊Linda, Toronto
there are also websites that sell legs and sofa covers for IKEA products, very cool
The Alex drawer is a good solid furniture. The different drawers in the furniture does not lie to you about the depth of them. You can actually store a lot in it
Your style and suggestions really line up with my style. We even have some of the pieces mentioned here in our house.
My best ikea product is the clips for chip bags, bread bags and any bag.
I just love you Nick, you’re definitely one of my favs!
Love your videos! You give a lot of information in just the right amount of time
I have been eyeing the big shared desk. Thanks for the tip on the counter. I didn't think IKEA would sell counter tops like that.
You are honest and in my head!
YAS!!! We got the Mallsten deck tiles this summer and love them! Adds a fun little Mediterranean flare to our balcony!
Oh, and our Bestå cabinets are the BEST! We placed several of them along a entire white wall in our open-concept living/dining area (we chose no legs so they sit directly on the floor); it makes for a very clean look!
I wish I had a bigger bedroom to fit in Nordkisa wardrobe! I would repaint it in an ash colour, and I imagine it in a asian/breezy linnen like atmosphere.
Your videos has such inspirational energy, love it! Glad I found your channel!
Loved the etagere in the photo with the lamp
I am new to your channel and I just want to say I think you are terrific. You review are THE BEST!!
Love your new green eye color!
I have a spot in my basement that I want to use for storage and the Bror would be perfect! Adds storage but isn't just your typical metal shelving unit
It’s really cool. Ikea sells it as garage and gardening, but I think it’s great indoors too.
Love these videos 😍 my fav Ikea item is Regissor Cabinet in brown 😘
Oh that's cute! I love the cute little legs!
Thank you for all your great info. Concise and informative. You are GREAT!
I did a mix of runnen and mostly mallstad on my larger than apartment size patio. I think it doesn't have to be a small space.
Hey Nick! Just started watching your videos a couple of dsys ago and l'm really enjoying them. I have a request though. Can you do a video for those of us who live in an RV or tiny
I just bought the Hectar lamp a few weeks ago and the smaller one today. Love them! I’ll be using them with grow bulbs for my plants 🌱😀
Love this, especially as a swede ;) Although I was waiting for the hexagon tile that's in the little clip in the beginning :( where is it from?
1:38
Found you & your channel after watching a CityLine video. Fantastic tips & reviews, Nick.
Hi Nick, i'm a new french follower and I love (ikea and) your style and your taste. J'adore. Go on, it's very cool! (Am I the only one who sees a Ben Affleck ressemblance?)
Another great video, I’m planning to makeover my Master room (since you’ve already made clear that hope is not a strategy 😉) and have been eyeing those picture shelves to make a gallery wall that I can change. Was hoping to use the Pax tool to plan my walk in closet, but I guess it’s probably better to do measurements and placement by hand. Learning a lot from you, thanks! 🤗
If it's a really simple PAX, then measuring yourself might make sense. If you are doing a complex PAX with corners in a small closet then you should probably use the awful software! 😬
The software was great when I planned my walk-in closet 7 years ago, but now it's become nearly useless
New subscriber-- love your energy and advice!!!!!!
Hi! New subscriber as well. Do nice to get a guy’s perspective LOL! I appreciated your photos showing how you’ve used the products ... and especially because you featured new IKEA favs. I too have the Pax unit and love it! My master closet is nice size for me but probably smaller than most so I’ve added white Billy bookcases one the other side. It’s a real treat to have that “luxury” feel when you’re a senior!
So glad you enjoyed Carol! That billy bookcase is so versatile - it was so close to making my top 10!
Can’t help but looking at the clock in the back 🤣 spent about twenty minutes reading the scripts. thank you!
So helpful! Thank you!
OMG please make a video on how to choose both art work and rugs for a space
Love the Hektar floor lamp!
Awww ! Just discovered your channel :) so good to see you do this !!!!! Post crocodile pear I haven’t seen you at all !
Also Yyyyyysssss to MoSslanda!!!!
Thanks Lisa!! Yes I love the Mosslanda! So cute!
Love you ...love your channel...💥💥💥
Omg, I am so getting the tiles.
Love it. Thanks for sharing this. I am currently looking for a floor lamp.
Hi Nick..love your IKEA vid..
How about a home tour? Would love to see your space!
My two favourite IKEA purchases of all time - and unfortunately they’re no longer available in Canada (but they may still sell in some countries) - are the:
1. indoor / outdoor high back, black rattan armchairs from 4 years ago called the Storsele, and
2. A black metal table lamp (they also made a floor lamp and a ceiling pendant I believe) from way back - 10-15 years ago. I cannot remember the name but it looked like a designer Atollo lamp except with a skinny base. Screamed 60s mod to me as opposed to the turn-of-the-century, industrial look of the Hektor line which I like too (even though Atollo was 1970s I think...).
Man I miss that line of lighting. It’s the first line I can recall from this shift IKEA made towards incorporating pieces that look very high end / designer to their basics that we all know and love. We kind of expect that from IKEA now but it wasn’t always like that, at least in my memory.
I still have that dang table lamp that broke probably 10 years ago and at the time, my local lighting repair shop said not to bother (ie we may be able to repair but it’s not worth the cost, just buy a new one). I’ve lugged that thing through 5 different house moves thinking I must try again with a different repair shop and just never got to it. So your video has given me a kick in the pants to get that neglected lamp fixed and back out on display! 🙌🏻
Fab as always.
Lovely eye-colour!
You're soo great!!! Keep up the great videos!
I don't know if you have kids or not but some ideas about organizing books and toys aside from purging them would be very helpful. My son is 4 has his own "gutters screwed into studs to hold the books" library and is a monster truck fan. So there are a lot of them and throwing them isn't an option. If ikea has systems for that ideas would be great!
PAX is just greate solution ! Looks so so good! and has a very good price. 👏👏
Thank you for being so amazing!
I don't know where you got your art framed and I also live on the other side of the world (Belgium) but I get my pictures and art that is not standard format framed at a local art supply store. Their prices are quite reasonable, they have a lot of frame choices and they're totally used to framing things with rough edges or raised patterns.
PrettyPegs is another good ikea upgrade source. I got the legs for my Kallax shelves from them
