Designer Tricks to Make IKEA LOOK EXPENSIVE | BUDGET FRIENDLY DECOR IDEAS

[@soniadobricanin4831]

I wanted to ask you to make one vlog for smaller apartments and studios. Regarding furniture and making space bigger and functional.

Yes- I have a very small bathroom.

[@jwal3717]

Yes - Condo and Apt dwellers would appreciate this!

[@jennifergraham3752]

Valentina you do the best job linking the products and sources of anyone that I have seen on KZbin. It is much appreciated. It takes me longer to watch your videos because I keep pausing to check out the items 😂. Your spaces are always beautiful and inspiring.

[@nayetgebadi]

Congrats on 300k Valentina (and Jack)! I’m proud to say I’ve been here since very near the beginning of your channel, so so happy for your continued success. You gave a home base to all lovers of black and white interiors, thank you so much xoxo love from Australia

[@janeth.3283]

Hi from another Aussie! I was never a fan of black, Valentina has shown me how it can elevate a space and add a luxury feel to the home if used in the right way.

[@alycat9186]

Pausing the video to say WHAT A GREAT FIRST TIP!!!!! As many design videos as I’ve watched it just now dawned on me that when I’m going to design a space, THE FIRST THING I SHOULD FIGURE OUT IS what is my color palette going to be? I’ve seen many looks that I like and colors, but never just had that AHA moment where I thought “let me pick the color and go from there.” It was always just “the look” that was top of mind. It’s true tho that when you now go into a store with color palette in mind, it helps things jump out at you that could work for your space.

[@lindsayvlogslife]

I’d love to see a video from you reviewing all of IKEA’s different lighting options - table lamps, ceiling lights, etc!

[@marnoch4632]

I’d love that too.

[@reginalawrence192]

Hi Valentina!! Congratulations on your 300K Subs!! I am a huge fan and It was great seeing you and Jack at Ikea the other day. I was shocked to turn around and there you both were. I hope that I didn't scare you when I yelled OH MY GAWWWD!!!. You and Jack were so gracious and friendly. I was feeling a little down and my daughter said lets go to Ikea, it always lift your spirits. Well it most certainly did!! Seeing you in person made my whole year!! I'm still smiling.😁

[@Amy-qe7ti]

How cool! I would die to meet them too! ❤️

[@reginalawrence192]

@@Amy-qe7ti Amy, I am 74 years old. I was in shock to see Valentina and Jack and I acted like a 16 year old meeting her favorite rock star crush.🤣I felt so stupid after because I said to her "You do have great legs!! Jack said so"😬I told my daughter that I wish that I had dressed better and wore my hair in a different style, and she said "Mom that lady don't care about how you look"😂

[@HouseofValentina]

Hi Regina! It was a pleasure meeting you the other day at IKEA. We mentioned you and your hilarious leg comment on the video today!

[@carolmiller5713]

I’ve always loved IKEA for smaller ticket items. I like the minimalist, clean lines & great functionality. Thanks for these tips!

[@Ecolifer]

I love your channels so much!! May I know where did you get the vase and the plant beside your fireplace please😄

[@anaalves3658]

I love your abstract art pieces, my daughter and I (she is 7) painted something for my husband's home office, we had seen a painting we liked in a magazine, it needed to be a specific size and so we bought a canvas and a tube of acrilic paint. We used masking tape to make some of the shapes and it looks identical to the inspiration photo 👌☺️.

[@britneymarsh6320]

You have reached 300,000 subscribers! Congrats! You have worked so hard and it shows! Love your style and your videos.

[@kathleenbastian1126]

Love your comment on not overcrowding the room. Less is more.

[@Micha-bp5om]

Unfortunately I have a 49sqm one bedroom apartament. I had to fit in a lot of furniture but tried to raise most of it of the ground to make it feel more airy

[@JoR00ke]

I loved the tip to have a colour palette in mind when you shop, I tend to have the item I want in mind and so perhaps would miss something that would fit in with my decor.

[@kylemarie2642]

Heyy V! I am Mr. and Mrs. on the Amazon lives. I had a legit question about the baskets😅. I am having a hard time styling my entry way table and it is by a closet. I keep hearing to put baskets under the table. I noticed you didn't have any on your console table yesterday. Do you think minimizing baskets is the direction the styling world is going? They can be quite pricy so I don't want to invest in them, if I shouldn't. Please help! Thank you!! P.S congratulations on 300k!!!🎉

[@suemahoney7330]

Would you please do a tutorial video showing us how to paint over one of their canvases? Please tell us where to go for the paint, what kind, brushes, how to copy something, the very basics. Thank you

[@lisaggsloane2510]

Oh wow! Congratulations on hitting 300,000! Good for you!

[@jabber5402]

Hi! You have some fun tips and I love to look at the examples you show for how to do/how not to do...I could listen and watch longer if you used more of a variety of phrases. For example, you said "elevate the space" a lot.

[@krama017]

Do you have an ikea /affordable curb appeal improvements ideas video?

[@gailspringborg2061]

I would love a video with focus on using throws. How to style them, on chairs vs bed, also fabric contents and pairing with different styles, and things to avoid because it won't last. PB has a new heavily cabled throw that I wonder if it's even foldable and stylable.

[@saral8092]

Valentina, Jack & family, a big congrats on 300K subs and many more to join this lovely community 💕🥂

[@soniadobricanin4831]

Valentina thank you for your beautiful vlogs!

[@ezduzit4434]

Awesome!! Even if you don’t go for ikea, the tips you give apply to elevating the whole look. Bravo!! I have learned so much from you, V & have really elevated a lot chez moi already without even doing any of the badly needed major renos. Always learn something from every video ❤️

[@dorothysmith7289]

Congrats on hitting 300,000 subscribers! You guys work really hard for us and the quality of your work shines through! My local ikea is about 300 miles away in Atlanta or Houston so I appreciate your tours. One would think that with such a huge port we might have one here or in Baton Rouge.They do ship but I haven't figured out all the logistics to get the items I want. Perhaps someday...

Enjoyed the video, such an inspiration! I've decided to paint my fireplace matte black. What's the name of your fireplace paint? Thanks!

[@lindajohnson2149]

Valentina, as always, I enjoyed your video. Could you share some specific color palettes with one's already painted / enameled trim colors? Mine specifically is BENJAMIN MOORE LINEN WHITE oil base paint (enamel) all throughout the house. When we built our home in 2004, we used their color of the year (a light golden neutral) in our kitchen and painted other similar colors throughout the main floor, foyer going upstairs, and the upper level hallway but then allowed the older two kids to choose their bedroom paint color. Since we're empty nesters, it's way past time I reclaim those rooms too. Your input is much appreciated. 💕 First Lady of Greenfield

[@Nickelini]

When you say you buy a piece of art from IKEA and paint over it, you need to show examples. I have no idea what results you are going for

[@christinahaftmann4065]

I'm concerned that you never mention the beauty and necessity of actual personal items displayed in one's home. Your home doesn't seem to have personal items. I can't imagine a colder or more soulless space than a hotel room. Why do you encourage people to emulate that? I understand your need to constantly promote merchandise but our world needs people who have heart rather than such an impersonal 'hotel' approach to living. I hope you'll consider my words.

[@fancycat]

Staging a home to sell and decorating a home to live in are totally different. I love color but I used to always paint my home neutral colors " for the next possible buyer". Now I paint and decorate to please myself.
