  1. HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE! I hope you're all having an amazing weekend! Which product do you NEED for your dorm room/small apartment/work from home space?!😍

  2. Getting ready to send my son to college next year. (I’m starting to gather items for his dorm early.) Thanks for the great tips! Planning a trip to Ikea this weekend!

  3. One does not simply go to Ikea with out a list. You will become overwhelmed with all the awesome things they have.

  4. Love the new intro! Great tips Kristen!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

  5. Omg I thought you said something else about that first product. I rewatched a few times and you said snacks. But my dirty mind heard something else

  6. Im finally moving on campus after a freshman year at home- covid 🙁 so I've had everything packed up for a year and Im getting my final list together.!

  7. My grandson’s are in high school & middle school AND they have classes online. A lot of those ideas would be perfect for them!! I’ve tried helping out some like with a pr of nice wood TV trays for their laptops, another 3 shelf unit to hold supplies that I actually got from IKEA!! But I really like that laptop stand, ESPECIALLY the cup holder on it!! The 15 yr old drinks a LOT of water & that would be perfect for him!!

  8. This video is perfect, came at a good time my daughter is leaving for university in a few weeks. Some of these items I can also use at home. Thank you ❤️

  9. i def prefer working at a table, i cant really work on the couch or wherever, it makes my back hurt

  10. The only thing I will say about this is the plates or dishware. If you're prone to dropping things or things falling over, get plastic plates instead. 2nd day I broke them when I got to college.

  11. We moved countries… South Africa to UAE! NEVER had an IKEA in my life and we have kitted out a large amount of our new home from IKEA… now is the tricky part… all the non-IKEA finishes! 🙈 Taking it slow and loving the process! Thank you for all your suggestions in numerous videos and helping me balance IKEA and the rest! My biggest headache… pictures 🤦🏼‍♀️ but I’ll get there! 🤗

  12. This so such a coincidence
    I’m in year 11 right now but when I go to college I want my major to be interior design🥲

    Which college did u go to?

  13. I use a cart with a top as my laptop stand. Secret storage under the lid and easily accessible shelves below

  14. The "room divider" is such a good idea! Since the rent in Germany, especially in cities got crazy expensive, almost no one (I'm not talking about college students) can afford an at least 2 room rental apartment anymore. I like the idea that I could divide my sleeping space from the living room…provided, that there's enough space for a sofa AND a bed….

  15. Is the Vennesla floor mirror available in the U.S.? I can’t find it but it appears to be in your IKEA store.

  16. This is such a great piece. We will use at the couch. It's very low to ground and have struggled to find something to slide under it. This is a terrific option. And we are seasoned home owners. Thx

  17. The thing that you hang your string light at, what is that, was it also from IKEA? ¹⁹¹¹²¹

  18. Those utility carts are absolutely the best. I use it as a snack/coffee bar. It’s the best.
