As a Swedish person: no one has to be offended by Nick’s pronunciation of Ikea product names, because we truly aren’t. At all. We’ll giggle at the attempts, for sure, but we love that he tries. No hard feelings.
Aren't Swedish like a million different dialects with different pronunciation so whatever Nick does to it we can always assume it's correct pronunciation in Whateverbyn somewhere in the North?
I made a home decor change today that turned out disappointingly bad and looking at it I had a thought in Nick's voice "Let's reverse this and we shall never speak of it again" and that's what I did 🤣👍
@@NB_703It is just stuff. And so what if you make a mistake. When I think back on things I have done, well I cringe. But they were fine when I was using them.
As a real life Swede (hej hej! 👋🏻) I hereby declare that: a) we really do not get iffed by people pronouncing IKEA product names wrong b) your pronunciations really aren't as bad as you think! 😅
This swede is just confused why Ikea seem to have dropped their old naming convention and seem to have named these products randomly. Didn't think about pronouncing until it was mentioned. And the Lj-, Tj, ki-, ke-, etc sounds is pretty darn hard if not your native language.
@@snowwhite5842 For context, Plogfåra is a furrow, hönsnät is chicken wire and the basket Mjölkkanna means milkjug, 'cause why wouldn't a braided basket be namned milk jug.
He sees you in the comments, he sees you, he knows you're thinking, "Just use that Nick noggin and you can pronounce those Swedish names perfectly," but he won't, he won't, he just doesn't care, he bought a banana yellow toy box and now he's putting things in it, he's putting things in it,, he doesn't care, because this is not the New York Times channel.
We know he is still moving in, but I want him to find the box with his clock and get it on that back wall! If he pitched it I missed the episode where he told everyone but me.
OMGoodness... I absolutely LOVE the resurgence of metal container! As a child I remember them being in everyone's homes and I've always been so turned off by the plastic. Thank you Ikea!
@@653j521 huh?? I never had any issues with the old container lids, and I'm not sure why you'd think I'd know the answer to that since my comment indicates surprise that they've made their way back.
They are gorgeous! They totally remind me of my grandfather’s study and shed. He fought in WWII and the army never really left his soul, and the metal containers just feel very 1940s - his heyday. They remind me of him and his love of Casablanca and The Great Escape.
Yes! J is more a y than j in Swedish. They say that both Swedish and Dutch is easy to learn for native English speakers. Some education: Å is pronounced like all, ball, tall. Ä is pronounced like in mad, lad, bad. And ö is pronounced like the u in burn and turn. Thats it! Now you can speak IKEA fluently.
What are you doing? That's not how those letters are pronounced at all lol. Å is like Santa's "ho ho ho", Ä is like in "bed", and Ö is like the u in fur.
This is one of Nicks qualities and that’s he can appreciate styles that are not for him but he can appreciate others. I’m the same way. I watch some utubers that make fun of any other styles than their own. This is SUCH a NARROW MINDED VIEW! I don’t care for Farmhouse style but I can appreciate it if it’s done well ..
I'm 66 and love color. I do gravitate towards more saturated colors rather than pastels. I have to admit I got tired of earth tones way back in the early 80s, and never looked back.
We just painted our game room navy blue (Naval by Sherwin Williams) to go with the red Persian rug! We painted the primary bedroom dark vibrant green (Kale by Sherwin Williams) to go with cream and taupe. Every room is glorious color. All Sherwin Williams colors: Lemon Chiffon laundry, Romance guest, Koral Kicks guest bath, Hinting blue office, Glimmer main rooms. :)
I’m 62 (seeing a pattern here LOL?) and just had to have my entire house (inside) repainted after a flood remodel; they are all SW colors like Endless Sea, Fresh Eucalyptus, Mountain Stream, Aquitaine, Green Baccarat, Touch of Gold, Sea Salt, and a little bit of Alabaster. My new leather couches (living room) are navy and my new slip covered couches (family room) are moss green, so we don’t shy away from color LOL. But I am liking how some of the neutral organization items that Nick showed actually contrast nicely with all that color. 😊
Hi, Nick! I hope my comment reaches you! This video regarding IKEA organization reminded me to make this request since I was just in the store gathering things for my college freshman son...I would LOVE to have you talk about dorm rooms and off-campus living for college students. I feel like there's so much to think about: 1) comfy and cozy, 2) maximizing use of small space, 3) organization, 4) affordability, and 5) portability as students are super transient and need to make sure that stuff is easy to move. Thank you for your consideration!
I absolutely love how feisty you are (feisty/sarcastic/take it or leave it... I'm 63 and feel very much the same, it's a sign of security in yourself!). I love how you talk fast so I don't have to speed up your videos! I love the topics you choose. You're my favorite. I'm more of a French-country/cottage core person, really not into modern of any kind (I'm in ATL) but I'd hire you in a minute if you were here!
I was also at IKEA recently and was impressed at how many non plastic storage items and options they have now. I’ve been trying not to buy plastic anymore! Also I would love to run into Nick at IKEA some day!
Nick, you are the absolute best. I have to remember to visit your channel FIRST thing on Saturday instead of the news sites. If I visit you first thing, I can prime the pump to ready myself from the grim news that I will inevitably see and understand. Organization? Yeah, baby!have to
In the past few months I found and watched a number of Nick's shows and I cannot say how much I enjoy his sense of humor. This one is especially good! I am definitely going to start calling power strips "power bars".😉 And I think I may need to steal, "it takes a village of cosmetics to look this haphazard".😂 (For the record, well done with the grooming - always!), but I so appreciate the gentle, self-deprecating humor that helps us all take ourselves a little less seriously. Thanks, Nick. You're a charmer!
It's so funny to hear Nick speak so quickly, saying important things from the point of view of decoration and interior design, but in such a simple, down-to-earth way that you can't help but listen to him very carefully. But what I like most is that Nick shows his human side, with the flaws that we all have, in a way that is simultaneously humble, funny and very accurate! It is, without a doubt, the best TH-cam channel for decoration and interior design! That being said, greetings from Portugal!
I think, when we decorate our living spaces, we need to make choices based on the extent of use a piece of furniture will endure. I say there is nothing wrong with veneer in a night stand, or a table in an area that gets light use. Solid wood is better for dining room tables, coffee tables, and furniture that gets used (beat up) daily. Thanks, Nick, for showing us our options.
I just moved into a new apartment 2 months ago and I am sloooowly getting everything organized how I want (slow bc I'm broke lol) so this video is kind of perfect timing for me! Would love to see more stuff related to moving and having to reorganize/re-evaluate style in a new space.
Okay, okay, I'll make the drive to Ikea for the fun stuff! It's so much easier shopping with Nick than the store, which has so much it's hard to see the cool stuff stand out. I'll hit the smorgasbord first, to keep my energy up.
Hi Nick. I'm so glad that you're moved, settled, and getting your stride back. You've had a lot of changes, but you're still your fabulous self. Your best days are still ahead. I think, for the price point, that IKEA has some of the best options for affordable style. Positive thoughts and well wishes your way.
After getting disgusted with myself over my collection of cheap Walmart/Target/dollar store organization bins, boxes and totes making my organization look disorganized and messy... I finally went to Ikea (and Daiso). Sooo happy I did! Everything is now super-organized, looks coordinated, neat, and clean! Ikea furniture is very hit-miss. But for organizing and cloth items like dish towels, toss pillows etc. Ikea is amazing value in my opinion.
Nick, you’re so charmingly witty that I’m blindly drawn to listen to you regardless of the content. You make me smile and laugh. Love your content, thank you.
Love you, Nick … super relatable for me … the humor, the attitude, an occasional whatever, don’t sweat the small stuff. I especially like 10:25 the IKEA sessions. My husband was Swedish, we lived in Sweden for many years, and I recently sold our “sommar stuga” (my husband passed in 2020.) I look forward to watching as your new place evolves - it’s the journey, right? Keep on keeping on, Nick. ❤
Nick, you’re the best!! It frightens me a little that I love your speed talking and can keep up…maybe it’s a Canadian thing! And you’re so funny and self deprecating - that’s definitely a Canadian thing!! 😛🇨🇦
Many closed media consoles don't have a method to allow electronics to cool off. Something very important to keep in mind when enclosing anything electronic is that electronics create a ton of heat. Because they create a ton of heat, you can shorten the lives of the electronics or even start a fire. Try to hide electronics in ways that allow them plenty of room to breathe and remove heat.
I’ve never watched any of your other videos. Have no idea what your channel is about, but I’m subscribing based off this video alone. You’re hilarious, I love your energy, and I need more of you in my life, no matter what you’re talking about! ❤
"Acorns" are historic fine furniture embellishments, they are characteristic of Shaker. I once bought chair for someone for gift with acorn on top of ladder back and discovered it was Shaker before gifting it. I still have it, 50 years later, lol ❣️ I love the basket too, great impulse buy, verifies good taste.
When we renovated our two bathrooms, instead of the traditional medicine cabinet, we modified large kitchen cabinets (two per bathroom) to fill the spaces between the studs, installed mirrors on the cabinet doors and called it a day. They may be more shallow than regular kitchen cabinets, but given the large size, they work beautifully in both spaces, hold all our things and, what I love the most, are totally unexpected!🎉🎉
@@lleocttx2326That IS the new home! You’ll note the kitchen table is not in the background. But I seriously keep thinking it’s the old place too and I miss the clock, as silly as that might be. Everything else is the exact same, except that. 😂
@@Jordan-ts5ji Oh, didn’t realize that! OK, we’ll do just fine without the table, but I think we’d all be happier, including Mr. Clock, if he were restored to his rightful place
Love the Helmer. Thanks for highlighting it. The yellow is actually perfect for my house, and it's exactly what I've been needing. You always showcase something really useful for me. Thanks, Nick!
As a newly minted minimalist who doesn’t want to buy a single thing more, I love to watch Nick for good information in case I fall off the minimalist bandwagon. And for his inimitable wit!
Love your energy in this video! I think the speed with which you did it, let you be as funny and silly and irreverent as you like to be. I dunno. It just seems like you are naturally risking more and that the inner critic has left the room with an encouraging nod to your authentic self! Any way, bravo!
I have the 3 by 4 large kallax. I just bought the new blue doors to put 3 across on the top to hide away my purse and my husbands stuff. The new doors look so nice and has elevated the look of the kallax it self and our mudroom. On the bottom I use the black boxes to hide my children’s shoes.
I was so glad that you mentioned using the tins in your bathroom. I have been using Photo boxes for years, but I could see that the tins are a better choice. Thank you so much!
As a Swede Nick is completetly right! We don’t care about his pronounciation! I love hearing english speaking people trying to say IKEA names. The result is nearly always unrecognisable and very cute! ❤
Nick: you can make a medicine cabinet in your bathroom by having it put in between the studs. You can also have one built and install it on the wall over the toilet which is usually just wasted space anyway. I've done both.
Combine both concepts and get a cabinet over the cistern that is deep enough to hold a couple of bulk packs of toilet paper and still doesn't stick out far enough to be a problem.
I love Nick's pronunciation and very thankful for the practical advice he provides on all the options that are available at Ikea. 'Cause some of us don't want to wander through all the aisles & the chaos 🥵🥵 This provides me with just enough options. I'm in & out of the store in minutes. And I'm smiling throughout bc I giggle at how to pronounce all the Swedish items! 🤣
I like how you just copy pasted the layout from your apartment into your home, it's not the most creative but you've made it clear that that layout is your motif and I like it. I do wonder if someone will think why you constructed a wall in your apartment and close off a window too
Thanks for a really helpful video ! Lots of good stuff here. Sometimes the Ikea store is just so overwhelming and it is great to have you highlight pieces that you particularly like that I can then go to the store to look for knowing what I'm looking for.
I had a bright yellow ikea filing cabinet in my first apartment 12 years ago, I hated putting it together so much but it ended up looking cute with my desk that had a matching yellow trim, a white top with a black floral design. It was colorful and bold but definitely not something I’d want now that I’m in my 30s.
Love the ljungan! I also picked mine up to store earrings/bracelets/trinkety bits on my bathroom counter. So glad I made that impulse buy, also🙏🏼 thank you for another video🫶🏼
I have always been one to hate facial hair but I have to say that it somehow suits you and is really growing on me. Not that you need anyone’s approval or opinion. Love your videos especially the ikea ones.
Subscribed when you said you lived in the Netherlands 🙌🏼 I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love watching your videos for ideas to make my home feel more cohesive. Good luck with finishing the new place!
Nick, super entertaining video! I love Ikea for some things. They are almost basic and classic but there is usually a slight difference, sometimes I love it and other times I don't. But I was highly entertained with your commentary.
As a Swedish person: no one has to be offended by Nick’s pronunciation of Ikea product names, because we truly aren’t. At all. We’ll giggle at the attempts, for sure, but we love that he tries. No hard feelings.
Don't ask me why but instead of reading "a Swedish person" I read "a Sandwich person".
It's just like some people trying to properly pronounce French words, etc., etc. We need to give everyone an "A" for "effort." 😊
Don't you just love how people get offended on behalf of others who aren't even offended.😁
Aren't Swedish like a million different dialects with different pronunciation so whatever Nick does to it we can always assume it's correct pronunciation in Whateverbyn somewhere in the North?
I went to a seminar in Växjö. To this day I cannot pronounce it. As he said- he just doesn't care.
I made a home decor change today that turned out disappointingly bad and looking at it I had a thought in Nick's voice "Let's reverse this and we shall never speak of it again" and that's what I did 🤣👍
We never need to talk about it again

I once bought chair for someone for gift with acorn on top of ladder back and discovered it was Shaker before gifting it. I still have it, 50 years later, lol ❣️ I love the basket too, great impulse buy, verifies good taste.
There's nothing better than a man that can make me laugh out loud!
❤ You Nick 😉
When we renovated our two bathrooms, instead of the traditional medicine cabinet, we modified large kitchen cabinets (two per bathroom) to fill the spaces between the studs, installed mirrors on the cabinet doors and called it a day. They may be more shallow than regular kitchen cabinets, but given the large size, they work beautifully in both spaces, hold all our things and, what I love the most, are totally unexpected!🎉🎉
I'm BEGGING you to bring back the non-working wall clock you had before. It was a vibe and I miss it.
I miss it, too! Could you put it back until you broadcast from your new home, please? It looks rather bleak now…😢
@@lleocttx2326That IS the new home! You’ll note the kitchen table is not in the background. But I seriously keep thinking it’s the old place too and I miss the clock, as silly as that might be. Everything else is the exact same, except that. 😂
@@Jordan-ts5ji Oh, didn’t realize that! OK, we’ll do just fine without the table, but I think we’d all be happier, including Mr. Clock, if he were restored to his rightful place
@@Jordan-ts5jiThe wall leading out of the living room is wider ...
@@cocoaddams4502HA!!!
New House Nick is the vibe I'm bringing into fall. I never would have considered those metal tins to be cool before this. I like them!
Your honesty about NOT decanting food into perfect acrylic canisters is sooooo refreshing. Lowest fucking common denominator. Truth!
Love the Helmer. Thanks for highlighting it. The yellow is actually perfect for my house, and it's exactly what I've been needing. You always showcase something really useful for me. Thanks, Nick!
I love Office furniture as home decor. Those file cabinets are perfect!
They could be great bedside tables
As a newly minted minimalist who doesn’t want to buy a single thing more, I love to watch Nick for good information in case I fall off the minimalist bandwagon. And for his inimitable wit!
Love your energy in this video! I think the speed with which you did it, let you be as funny and silly and irreverent as you like to be. I dunno. It just seems like you are naturally risking more and that the inner critic has left the room with an encouraging nod to your authentic self!
Any way, bravo!
I have the 3 by 4 large kallax. I just bought the new blue doors to put 3 across on the top to hide away my purse and my husbands stuff. The new doors look so nice and has elevated the look of the kallax it self and our mudroom. On the bottom I use the black boxes to hide my children’s shoes.
that's a cute R2D2 laundry bin!
Nick you have a unique ability to criticize an item and yet make me want to go out and buy it. Well done.
Love the tins, especially with the cork tops. I am moving back on my houseboat so staying stable is vital.
I agree. The cork tops look are genius.
Greetings from Göteborg. I totally enjoy your Swedish pronunciation. Keep it up Nick
Can I just say how much I love you! You always make me laugh. You are perfect!
“This, doesn’t just happen… “
😂😂😂😂😂
Congrats on your new home Nick 🏡 Can’t wait to see how you transform your space ♥️🇨🇦
Thanks for the guidance. I sometimes have trouble telling "Cute" from "Divorced Dad Sad" when I'm at IKEA.
Oh no, is that a term that people are using?
i looove the Dammäng. I have the biggest for my laundry and the slim design just fits so perfectly in a nook. It holds exactly one load.
I totally have those cosmetics products that I’ll come back to in a few years lol
I’d love to see an IKEA walkthrough with Nick and Eden - would be fun to see reactions to new items, etc!
I was so glad that you mentioned using the tins in your bathroom. I have been using Photo boxes for years, but I could see that the tins are a better choice. Thank you so much!
As a Swede Nick is completetly right! We don’t care about his pronounciation! I love hearing english speaking people trying to say IKEA names. The result is nearly always unrecognisable and very cute! ❤
Yes! I'm team medicine cabinet! Especially in the master/main bathroom.
Hair and beard! Wow! Very cool look!
Nick: you can make a medicine cabinet in your bathroom by having it put in between the studs. You can also have one built and install it on the wall over the toilet which is usually just wasted space anyway. I've done both.
Combine both concepts and get a cabinet over the cistern that is deep enough to hold a couple of bulk packs of toilet paper and still doesn't stick out far enough to be a problem.
Ooh, love your new standing lamp. Very organic modern.
Do we know what lamp this is?
@@DirgesInTheDark We haven't been introduced.
I know I've seen the shade before, but not on this channel.
I love your ideas so much Nick, plus Ikea's so fun
I just love your videos, Nick. You just make me smile every time I watch. Thanks the giggles with solid design advice 🫶🏼
Still rocking that beard! Looking awesome Nick! Love your channel, can't wait each Saturday. Love from Memphis, TN!~
I love Nick's pronunciation and very thankful for the practical advice he provides on all the options that are available at Ikea. 'Cause some of us don't want to wander through all the aisles & the chaos 🥵🥵
This provides me with just enough options. I'm in & out of the store in minutes. And I'm smiling throughout bc I giggle at how to pronounce all the Swedish items! 🤣
I like how you just copy pasted the layout from your apartment into your home, it's not the most creative but you've made it clear that that layout is your motif and I like it. I do wonder if someone will think why you constructed a wall in your apartment and close off a window too
"Streaming pile of snakes..." 😀😃😄😁😆😅🤣 LOVE YOU NICK
I wasnt prepared for the personal attacks in this video but gives me motivation 😅😅 thanks! Great recs
Thanks for a really helpful video !
Lots of good stuff here. Sometimes the Ikea store is just so overwhelming and it is great to have you highlight pieces that you particularly like that I can then go to the store to look for knowing what I'm looking for.
I watch for the tips, but mostly for Nick’s snappy, good-natured delivery. 😂
I had a bright yellow ikea filing cabinet in my first apartment 12 years ago, I hated putting it together so much but it ended up looking cute with my desk that had a matching yellow trim, a white top with a black floral design. It was colorful and bold but definitely not something I’d want now that I’m in my 30s.
Thank you Nick for being so fun and helpful! You’re my favorite relief for a blah day!
A before and after tour of your place would be fun. :)
Love the ljungan! I also picked mine up to store earrings/bracelets/trinkety bits on my bathroom counter. So glad I made that impulse buy, also🙏🏼 thank you for another video🫶🏼
Look at all of the tins and woven items! I really haven't been excited about IKEA for the last couple decades but now I am! Well done Nick!
I have always been one to hate facial hair but I have to say that it somehow suits you and is really growing on me. Not that you need anyone’s approval or opinion. Love your videos especially the ikea ones.
Love the lamp you chose!
Subscribed when you said you lived in the Netherlands 🙌🏼 I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love watching your videos for ideas to make my home feel more cohesive. Good luck with finishing the new place!
Nick, super entertaining video! I love Ikea for some things. They are almost basic and classic but there is usually a slight difference, sometimes I love it and other times I don't. But I was highly entertained with your commentary.
