hi guys welcome back to our channel the number one place for people who love design art and
all things creative i'm jacqueline and i'm an interior architect and designer here at
D & B. in today's video i want to talk about my top ikea picks that i think are timeless and will
definitely level up your own interiors we all know that ikea ikea ikea can be hit and miss but
we love it for the most part right but i really want to give you guys some ikea products that
aren't just trendy now but things that i think will be future-proof and always remain stylish
so if you want to know which products you won't regret buying from ikea let's jump into the video
the first decade product i think has always looked really chic is the skogsta dining table
side note i'm really sorry if there's anyone swedish watching this video watching me butcher
these names so sorry in advance obviously the skogster dining table has a very scandinavian look
but i think that it would work really well in most modern homes and because it works in lots
of different spaces i really do think that it's one of the most interesting dining tables that
ikea has they also have two different dining set variations that you can buy of the table
and i particularly love the sakarias fabric chair set they're really sophisticated and i really love
how clean lined this whole set is which is why i think it would work in so many homes
i also want to give a mention to another dining table which is the docksta table now this is
clearly not a new design and it takes a lot of inspiration from the plastic furniture of the 60s
it's actually a great dupe for the original tulip table by finnish american designer eero sarinin
so if you're a retro lover like me this piece is a great example of the classic 60s look and
of course timeless design two more of my best ikea products are the x-torp sofa and the soda ham sofa
you've probably seen at least one of them before because they are really popular there are so many
different colors and variations of these sofas which is why i love them the x-top has more of
a traditional relaxed look whereas the soda hand is much more modern i think that they're really
simple in style but that makes them refined you know and i think that that makes them suitable
for any space let me know which one you prefer now i think we can all agree that storage is
sometimes really hard to organize and sometimes having a huge cabinet with doors can take up a
really big bit of room and let's face it they can also look a bit boring too so my solution for that
is the vittsjo shelving unit i'm sure you've probably seen this one too before because it's
very popular and for good reason because all the shelving is exposed you're able to easily
customize the unit to whatever you'd like it to be i have to admit i love a good shelfie and one
that combines organization with decorative pieces is a great way to store things away but keep your
interior chic at the same time unfortunately these are only available in black and i wish
that they came up with more colors and finishes to be honest but let's face it there's nothing a
canvas spray paint can't fix because i think that adding color to them completely changes the look
and then enables them to suit honestly any interior my fifth ikea product is the
stockholm living room set which i believe comes in a variety of different cabinets and a coffee table
and really it's the coffee table i love the most because there's really nothing else like this on
ikea's website the shape and style are both very reminiscent of the mid-century modern style that i
absolutely love and if you're looking for a mid-century coffee table now you can see
what kind of prices you're looking at so that's why the stockholm coffee table is a great way
to get that classic mid-century modern look but for a cheap price now let's talk about lighting
let's talk about lighting i think that this is the department of ikea that can be
really good but also really bad and some things can just look really cheap so my top three ikea
lighting fixtures are the evdel floor lamp the elf star pendant light and the lure skipper light
all three are obviously completely different from one another and the reason why i chose them
is because i think that they each have their own way of creating a designer look i believe that the
owl starlight is actually new for ikea spring 2021 and i think that we'll be seeing a lot more of it
my next product choice is one i chose because it's both practical and stylish and it's the
valentuna footstool which actually comes in two different configurations one has a hidden storage
compartment inside which is always useful and the other is actually a sofa bed how cool is that both
are also available in a lot of different colors which i think is a very clever move for me here
and you know what i don't actually see this item a lot and that's why i thought it deserved a mention
if you prefer more of a traditional interior or a farmhouse interior the next product is for you
the song sand chest of six drawers has more of a traditional look and really the reason why i
like it is because of the price and i think that the song sand chest is really good in terms of
delivering that aesthetic but for a fraction of the cost now i know that all of you are going to
ask me in the comments what is the best bed frame for me here and i would say that the tomrefjord is
my favorite this just looks like an expensive fabric bed but really it's actually only 379
pounds fabric upholstered beds can actually be quite hard to find and one with legs can
be even harder i'm sorry i know i keep harping on about eq products that look expensive but come on
they are really fantastic i actually have a whole other video where i talk about how to create chic
interior design for less so i'll link it for you guys at the end of this video if you're interested
which character out of all the tv shows has the best wardrobe without even mentioning who i'm
90 sure that most of you thought of carrie bradshaw's walk-in closet the queen of all
wardrobes so how can you replicate that with ikea products the pax system is ikea's most well-known
ikea wardrobe system the great thing about them is that each part is relatively cheap and put it this
way it's much much cheaper than getting a built-in wardrobe installed on ikea's website they even
have a packs planner where you can design your own to see how it will look which i think is really
useful pax is my favorite option for wardrobes because there's so many different variations
you can create almost like creating something from lego to steer away from furniture i want
to talk about two interior decor products that i think you definitely won't regret buying from
ikea the first is the lin bin mirror and the second is the dytag curtains or really just
any sheer curtains from ikea round mirrors are certainly trendy at the moment but i genuinely do
think that they will still be popular in the future the linbyn also comes with a black finish
or a brass finish perfect for whichever style you're going for in your space and i really think
that sheer curtains are completely timeless now i'm not talking about granny curtains like this
what i love about them is that they would work in both traditional spaces as well as the most
contemporary of apartments i feel that this collection of furniture would fit in almost any
interior but most importantly i think that these products will never go out of style
so they certainly have my approval if you're new to our channel then i want to say welcome on this
