20 *new* Secret IKEA Home Finds No One Is Talking About That You Need!

[@crystalfrancis3211]

I appreciate the pacing of this video. While the narrator talks a bit fast, I still like that she moves quickly between topics without stringing out her points.

[@dawnbowie352]

Appreciate the demos. They show functionality and versatility for unfamiliar products you're introducing. Excellent content and well presented!

[@beckywashington6988]

Thanks for this! I needed some curtain sheers to decorate for my daughter's wedding. I need 8. I was looking at some that are $30 for two. Because of your video, I immediately ran over to Ikea and got what I needed for a much better price. Thanks!

[@catballou5304]

Hi Kiva! One of the best videos on IKEA products. Not only showing the items but showing how you use them and in different ways. I love IKEA but it can be overwhelming sometimes, as you say, so watching your video gives me great ideas and what to look for on my next visit to the store. I'll tune in to your videos often. Thank you so much! 👏👏👏😃

[@auntielu4394]

A table runner on the bed is genius! Another tip, if you can’t find a desk you like, consider getting a dining room table instead. It’s sturdier, and there’s a better variety of sizes.

[@KivaBrent]

This is suchhhhh a great hack!

[@mshmslv]

In my native language, there is only one word for desk/table. You could add an adjective to describe what purpose it surves, but people rarely do it because most furniture was multipurpose by default. As a little kid, I really struggled to understand how to differentiate between tables and desks, and to this day, all of my desks have been from the table section of Ikea 😂 Another example is cup and mug. It serves the same purpose, drinking hot liquids from, and while cup used to refer to a smaller size, the meaning evolved and these days a cup of coffee could easily be over 500 ml (16 oz) - think Starbucks 😂

[@patsysadowski1546]

Console tables can be great too. I find they are often cheaper.

[@ingridqz5697]

Starbucks use workers as slaves🫤🥴 When i learned about this, I stopped going there. Starbucks abuses workers in Central America.

[@LoubinaA]

Thats exactly what I did with an extendable Ikea table 😁

[@katecubed]

Having a basket of Ikea slippers, in both sizes, in the entry way allows people to take off their outdoor shoes and boots when they come over. Inexpensive but fancy. With winter snow/slush/rain/mud it's an easy way to encourage leaving the shoes at the door. Not everyone comes over with their 'going out slippers' or wants to walk around in their socks.

[@janereinhardt4715]

My nephew had a basket of Ikea flip flops near the dance floor at his wedding!

[@angelabluebird609]

Very nice touch of hospitality! Learned this decades ago from a friend who is from Hawaii. Keeps homes far cleaner!

[@Hmy8799]

Omg you.are.GENIUS!!! I ordered cloth shoe covers from Amazon that are hilariously hideous😂 _but_ washable…?! I’m allergic to literally everything they tested for except for some tree that doesn’t grow in my state haha….ANNND indoor air is generally far more polluted than outdoor air which perturbs me, lolz…one of my brothers/sisters-in-law actually got me a skinny doormat that tells peeps to take their shoes off! But now I’m going to ball out with idea slippers woohoo! Again, you’re brilliant! Thanks for sharing🥰

[@chellybabyme]

And I don't want them to walk around my house in their socks.

[@yunichoe4879]

That’s what Koreans do, have family and guest slippers in the entryway. We immediately take off our shoes as soon as we walk in the house. I also love IKEA’s wall mount shoes storages for that reason

[@EMc2-Zed]

Great content and you have a great delivery style - quick, clear and very professional 🙌

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you so much! :)

[@Jay-xz6rw]

Ohhhhhhh wow, a table runner for the end of the bed. I love it ❤, great idea.

[@KivaBrent]

Thank you! 😊 I always try to come up with novel ways to use affordable items!

[@judierenfrow8073]

My sewing room is mainly IKEA. i have to drive an hour to go to an IKEA. Totally worth it.

[@renelynn5205]

So now that I watched your podcast, I'm going to Ikea and look for a couple items you brought to my attention, Thank you for sharing....❤

[@franjones5312]

Bravo! With the exception of the rugs and curtains, I NEVER would have thought to look for these items at IKEA. Thanks!

[@law2859]

Love the faux fur throw rugs as chair covers!

[@davisholman8149]

Your hands are so beautiful - nails are on point (pun intended)- skin is perfection.💅🏽

[@KivaBrent]

Wow thank you so much!!

[@loverlyme]

I thought the same when I saw her feet demonstrating the slippers! Am I weird? Haha...

[@randakamal7149]

Yes so beautiful nails and hands

[@conniea4594]

I love their sponges too.

[@floridafamilyfun1597]

We have been using the waffle towels for a few months now. They are much fluffier after the first wash and they are super absorbent! They also look luxurious! Highly recommend!

[@SaraWhiteChi]

Vegetable brush ➡ makeup brush mat! So smart, and a great price! (Right now I use dish gloves bc I refuse to buy some giant pink mat!) I also appreciate your recommendation on the towels - bath and hair! Added to my shopping list, Kiva, thank you as always ✨

[@gwirgalon3758]

also would double to brush the cat! no, really!

[@JonathonV]

Great tips! I used the curtain wire as a photo rail when I lived in England; worked great!

[@gailsmith2314]

Yes,It is great to hang pics of the grandkids as they age. It is nice to see a “hard copy”.

[@gabriellenichole3445]

I love your videos, please keep making them! For sponges I tried a silicone sponge and it didn’t get mildew or smell and worked really well 🧽!

[@staceyroberts2067]

Really enjoyed this video, mostly because you got the point on each item and didn’t drone on about its features. Lastly, you spoke in a tone that was pleasant to listen to.

[@hazydreamer7965]

I also love Ikea products. I had not seen 5 of the items you just showed us in this video. I truly need to go to Ikea again, take my time, slowly walk through the rooms, and try to stay informed of the staff they are selling. Thank you.

[@GoogleUser-qz5zv]

Great finds!!! I agree - the table runner for the bed is genius!

[@flufwix]

Ikea scrub sponges are fantastic. They last a long time, have a soft and more harsh sides and best of all, they’re not a garish color

[@jbfontes1331]

I've had the curtain wire for over five years and absolutely love it!! I have sheers on it and have only had to re-tighten it once as the wire became just a bit loose. Great buy!!!!

[@LinH-wn9ci]

Thank you for all you do! I loved the table runner hack and the cleaner pad for makeup brushes. Those are now on my IKEA list. 👍🏼

[@joeplana7450]

I literally ended up purchasing most of the items and looking forward to picking them up when ready😅. Thanks for sharing! I’m excited to try out using table runner hack as bed foot sheet decor cover ❤😊

Love that!

Those slippers look great to carry with me when going to someone else’s house and taking my shoes off at the door.

And for traveling.

[@vickiestewart7394]

I searched IKEA on Google because I'm going for the first time in 5 years tomorrow, told Hubs I needed 2 things, big deal, next thing I know your video pops up on my feed (hmmmmm) and now I'm wondering how I'm going to ditch him and take son and a pickup truck for the additional mountain of items. IOW, LOVE your channel and all the hints, did not realize I NEEDED all this stuff!!! Naturally I subscribed and will be binging for the next 18 hours. :)

[@tamikalove1]

Very helpful Kiva! I’m so glad you are getting more value out of your bed base. Get better soon.

[@kimhaas7586]

The milk frother is a definite 5 ⭐️. I’ve been using it a lot lately to get that creamy latte foam without having to buy an expensive coffee maker with a steamed milk frother. Same exact results with a tiny fraction of the price.

[@KivaBrent]

Yes, exactly!!

[@piotr433]

A french press (IKEA's Upphetta is perfect as well) makes even better latte foam. An undocumented feature )))

[@kimhaas7586]

@@piotr433 Ooo! I have one of those. Is there some trick I don’t know about?

[@piotr433]

@@kimhaas7586It's a very simple trick: you pour heated milk in the french press and make a few decisive strokes with the piston (you may want to fine tune this technique adjusting the number and length of strokes). By the way, there is a Bialetti milk frother that uses the same principle, but costs several times more. I saw milk frothers test somewhere on KZbin ant it turned out that the quality of microfoam made this way was the second best after some posh hi-tec frother for many $$$. The cheap battery powered device with a spring was among the worst.

[@amsunshine0]

Thank you. Loved the Keychain phone stand.

[@kathylee1261]

Thank you! Very helpful. And I saw the Alexander McQueen exhibit 2x with my young daughter. Changed us.

[@juliecaron7569]

The best shoe organizer is the tall Billy bookcase: I fit over 50 pairs of shoes in there, woman size 9-10. If you get it with doors, it hides nicely the mess and is the most cost effective, visually pleasing shoe cabinet you can find!

[@juliecaron7569]

oh, and you can adjust the shelves for short and high boots. Love it!

[@alleygoat]

Thank you for highlighting these affordable IKEA finds, Kiva! Going to give the oil dispenser and the scrubber, for my makeup brushes, a try.

I'm so happy I found you on KZbin! Would you be willing to do a closet DIY with Ikea items? Our closets are the generic house builder aesthetic, and I desperately want a change but have no idea how to upgrade them myself. Your design knowledge would be valuable for this project. Thank you for your amazing content. ❤

[@KivaBrent]

Hi! Welcome! As in how to functionally organize your closet using IKEA items or how to use IKEA closet systems to get the designer look for less?

[@tiffanibarner1128]

@KivaBrent Hi! The designer's look for less would be fantastic. Both would, actually, but if I had to choose, I would go for the designer look for less 😁

I've just discovered you. You are a treasure. Great product highlights. Several of them are now on my list for my next Ikea trip. I've been looking for simple slippers for warmer weather and here you are. I was hesitant to purchase the battery operated frother. Your review has put it to the top of my list. Looking forward to seeing more of you.

Thanks. I was heading to ikea to buy a bookshelf. I’m def gonna pick up a table runner

[@loverlyme]

You guys get so many more options from Ikea than we get (in Australia, but I presume there are other countries that don't get the full range). I try to avoid these videos so I don't get frustrated by it but finally gave in to this one since it kept coming up in my feed. I avoid those 'Dollar Store' videos too since everything is about 20 times the price here in Oz! ~I use table runners to cover cushions sometimes. If I find any plastic-like runners for outdoor entertaining that I like I use these to cover cheaper crates that I use as pots. ~I have a faux cowhide rug from a few years ago that I'm going to use to re-cover a dining chair (when I finally get to it). I can't believe Ikea is now stocking these. ~I'll have to look out for towels like the ones you showed. I would have thought they'd be too thin for my liking but if you say they're still absorbent I might give them a try. Thanks for all the ideas :)

[@altheamcnabb2829]

I bought #80 of those key chain, cell phone holders and gave them out to everyone for Xmas. They were loved. When I go back I'm getting more because people still ask were I got it from. I use mine everyday, several times a day.

[@elisabetk2595]

You missed the BEST cell phone holder, the one you picked up at @13:21. It's just a block of bamboo with grooves cut in it so you can either put your phone or iPad on a table or - best or all - hold it in your hand. It's super light and flat so I just carry it in my purse and it fits in computer cases or in a bag with flat items such as papers. People who see me use it are always asking me where I got it, so I sometimes carry an extra one so I can give it away. It's that cheap! The one caveat is that it doesn't work with really thick phone cases.

[@AmyCrompton-wt6ci]

Just subscribed! What great ideas..now I need to go back and watch your other videos. Thanks so much!

[@brookesosa5032]

Have you done a video on IKEA nursery finds? I would love to hear your favorites! We recently put my son’s nursery together using quite a few IKEA products and I’m always on the hunt for ways to make it more functional and aesthetically pleasing!

[@acuzengineer6259]

Thanks for this review! @KivaBrent, I find that I watch to see your nails/nail color - have you made a video about your skin and personal care products. I would love to know if you are going to a technician or if you are using press on because the colors and look are great.

[@andrea.rivers]

Awesome list! I am addicted to IKEA. I LOVE their wooden spoons! I bought a hefty stainless 2 pronged cheese slicer with the built in blade I bought nearly 20 years ago the first time I ever set foot inside an IKEA. It is still sharp and fabulous, I don't know if they have it anymore to be honest. I have several windows covered with IKEA drapes as well as shelving units in the garage and dork den😆. My favorite is those 99cent trays. I use them as intended and as well as keep one or two in the car. We do lots of day trips on the weekend and brown bag it. It's nice to have a surface, I know that's probably weird. I even take one on road trip vacation for the hotel and it's my landing pad for all my pocket stuff that I am afraid to leave behind. It's flat so it's easy to pack and slides right into my laptop pouch or suitcase. I've had them for years. We've also had the laptop holders forever but I definitely need that wooden phone holder! YES! to coffee gear from IKEA!!! I'm all about making it at home. Milk frother for the WIN!!!
