INTERIOR expert and IKEA hater Arvin Olano had a look at what’s new in store this season, and was pleasantly surprised.
Posting to YouTube Arvin shared his thoughts on a number of new IKEA items, including what’s a good deal and what you should skip.
Entering the store he says “wish me luck,” but Arvin is quickly shocked as he finds a number of items he actually likes.
The first of these being the BESTÅ storage combo, Arvin says: “I actually really like this. I like this detail. I’m a little shocked, it’s very chic.”
He also loves the ULRIKSBERG rattan armchair, adding that this is a really good deal as similar chairs can go for a lot of money elsewhere.
“I might have been hating on IKEA for no reason,” says Arvin, before continuing with his shopping, making his way to the coffee table section.

The first table he recommends is the LISTERBY coffee table, which he says is “giving Scandinavian,” adding that it’s a great deal.
Arvin also likes the LISTERBY console table and the LISTERBY side table.
While the trip so far has been full of items Arvin has liked, he’s rather disappointed with the KVISTBRO storage table, adding that when in use they have a rather cluttered appearance.
Back to tables he does like, he says that he really liked to STOCKHOLM coffee table last time he was in IKEA and still really loves it on this trip, adding that “it’s giving min-century, it’s giving vintage vibes.”
Continuing on through the store, Arvin makes his way to the sofa and armchair section, where he discovers the BACKSÄLEN range, which he jokes “needs to go back to the warehouse.”
Looking at the sofa he says, “I feel like I would fall through the cracks.”

“The sofa section is kinda scary” adds Arvin, “some of them just look a little [shakes head].”
However, he does quite like the PÄRUP chaise lounge, which he describes as “delicious.”
Despite this, Arvin adds that probably would not buy a sofa from IKEA, and would instead look elsewhere for his home seating.
Entering a showroom that has a rather dark aesthetic, Arvin says he hates it, adding that the design feels “so dated.”

The next showroom has a coastal design, which he usually likes but says that this one went a bit overboard with the blue-and-white art.
Continuing round the shop, Arvin adds that last time he was in IKEA he hated the STRANDMON wing chairs but now he actually quite likes them.
No trip to IKEA would be complete without a quick look at the BILLY bookcase, an Arvin’s trip is no exception.
Looking at the BILLYs he says that his favourite is the BILLY/OXBERG in black, and with the glass doors.
The BJÖRKSNÄS bed he says looks “a little flimsy,” but he does like the BJÖRKSNÄS chest of drawers.
