First Studio Apartment Ideas – IKEA Home Tour (Episode 402)

First Studio Apartment Ideas – IKEA Home Tour (Episode 402)

In episode 402 of the IKEA Home Tour Series, the Squad heads to Philadelphia to help Ginelle, an aspiring 2D animator, makeover her current barebones studio apartment.

As an up and coming digital designer, Ginelle needs to ensure the space in her home promotes a creative and relaxing ambience. This space serves as her office, bedroom and living room, so the Squad will have to ensure that they create an environment that is stylish as well as entertaining and relaxing. Let’s see what types of studio apartment ideas they came up with.

To start, the Squad chose a NYBODA coffee table for its reversible design that allows you to change the table’s look and added a NYMÖ lamp shade bringing decorative light patterns to the space. By incorporating a KALLAX shelving unit into the studio apartment’s layout, the Squad was able to divide the space into separate “”rooms.”” Ginelle now has space for a cozy, private bedroom and a living room that will allow her to comfortably host friends and family in her new apartment.

Because Ginelle’s apartment was in need of nearly everything, the team also wanted to ensure that her blank canvas was finished out with the proper necessities and color-coordinated accessories. For the seating area, the team included the SÖDERHAMN sofa in a stylish color with a plush VINDUM rug. And lastly, the Squad used a LINNMON/ALEX table with plenty of storage for her art supplies and proper lighting to ensure Ginelle that has a place to focus her creative energy.

  7. Jeretha Gardner on December 8, 2020 at 9:53 pm

  8. Yummygummy 10 on December 8, 2020 at 9:54 pm

    How is she supposed to eat and where’s the bathroom

    Edit: But it looks like they maximized the space! Looks beautiful

  9. K.A. Sharmella on December 8, 2020 at 9:55 pm

    Not interested in studio unit, even if i stay alone. I want more space to move around in my house. i feel suffocating in a studio unit. You won’t get the feeling of a home.

  10. Afra Runduml on December 8, 2020 at 9:55 pm

    It was so a beautiful minimal apartment. And now? Everywhere clutter 😂

  11. Mehak Mec on December 8, 2020 at 9:56 pm

    Why ikea not open a store in Pakistan

  12. Moonie The Pretty Giant on December 8, 2020 at 9:56 pm

    Love the fresh look!

  13. NtinaL on December 8, 2020 at 9:57 pm

    its nice but the decoration is too much for a small space and its making it look even smaller, in my opinion.

  14. Katerina Pavlou on December 8, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    Looooooove and inspiring for me 🏡

  15. Rox_y on December 8, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    Ikea! Come and help me redecorate my studio apartment!

  16. Sarah M on December 8, 2020 at 9:58 pm

    Pretty….

  18. V M on December 8, 2020 at 10:01 pm

    Great transformation

  19. Kyle Nguyen on December 8, 2020 at 10:04 pm

    Personally would have used a day-bulb for the art studio instead of a warm light, but definitely something I can take from!

  20. Ana Cee on December 8, 2020 at 10:06 pm

    I wonder how the being dressed in yellow managed to enter the door. The being should not be a part of the video.

  21. Onelove on December 8, 2020 at 10:06 pm

    Why did you guys stop doing these videos?? I loved seeing how creative you all are with the small spaces

  22. New Life on December 8, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    Liked everything except those bushy fake plants on walls. Enjoy!

  23. Squid on December 8, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    that ikea girl needs to really lose some weight. i know, i’m the bad person for saying it.

  24. esteSminick on December 8, 2020 at 10:10 pm

    This is very frustrating. I have been writing for over a month now to get the refund of this order because you did not have some items. Therefore you sent me an email saying that the order would cancel by itself if i did not pick it up. I haven’t received a refund. The order is in "preparing order" status since August 12 and I CANNOT cancel it by looking up the order online. It is extremely frustrating. You don’t answer the phone. You don’t respond emails and when you respond you give invalid information. I cannot cancel the order anywhere online. I need you to cancel and refund the order please. It’s been taking forever. Please do the right thing and cancel/refund the order so that i dont have to keep writing and calling without answers.

  25. Alex DeLeon on December 8, 2020 at 10:13 pm

    Does she have another closet?

  26. Candis on December 8, 2020 at 10:14 pm

    0:34 How cute are the socks the blue haired IKEA girl is wearing? Adorbs!

  27. Azka Mir on December 8, 2020 at 10:14 pm

    Where the hell do they store thier clothes ? I have watched many of videos and no body talk about a closet !!! Like hello i dont wear the same thing everyday

  28. Isaac Guandique on December 8, 2020 at 10:17 pm

  30. MariaS on December 8, 2020 at 10:20 pm

  31. Dualhammers on December 8, 2020 at 10:21 pm

    Ah yes, I too have $2500 to spend on furniture

  32. XClann on December 8, 2020 at 10:21 pm

    So how much was the service fees?

  33. Susan R on December 8, 2020 at 10:22 pm

    very nicely done!

  34. Regina di Spade on December 8, 2020 at 10:23 pm

    I would also make a party going at IKEA to invest 2600 dollars. It would be an awesome day

  35. Ariff Shah on December 8, 2020 at 10:23 pm

    Erm i cant afford to have a nice interrior 😢

  36. Marc G on December 8, 2020 at 10:24 pm

    Question is why would you want your bed next to the window when you could use the natural light for the living room space or even the art studio ?

  37. JXP on December 8, 2020 at 10:25 pm

    Phillllyyyy!!!!

  38. Laura Brown on December 8, 2020 at 10:26 pm

  39. Berto _OnLine on December 8, 2020 at 10:26 pm

    With the exception of that book shelf, I like it all. Seems to big and bulky. Also, it narrows the walkway too much.

  40. Mohammed Abdullah on December 8, 2020 at 10:27 pm

    Is there a kitchen?

  41. P M on December 8, 2020 at 10:28 pm

    The KALLAX large size room divider is one of IKEA’s signature pieces. However it works even better out from the wall, like a central pivot point in the studio.
    You can experiment with centering the bed to it, as well as the living room too. I think centering things and getting them, even just several inches, off the walls makes a place seem better.

  42. MMarcobose on December 8, 2020 at 10:32 pm

    Idk about all that warm light in the studio, gonna mess with her hues

  43. Diamond R on December 8, 2020 at 10:33 pm

    how many square feet?

  44. Zainab Farooq on December 8, 2020 at 10:34 pm

    Shes needed an LED WHITE LIGHT so when shes working she can see like its clear day time so disappointed in Ikea

  45. Nexus Six on December 8, 2020 at 10:38 pm

    Do they really sell those coffee classes at ikea ? I’ve never seen them there before.

  46. Anna Kapyrina on December 8, 2020 at 10:39 pm

    God I hate Khallax

  47. Donald Bolton on December 8, 2020 at 10:40 pm

    There is no kitchen or bathroom? GTFO

  48. naomi_lowe _spa girl_from hawaii Sunshine spa lowe on December 8, 2020 at 10:40 pm

    what is the square feet of this platform im curious?

  49. Kingdom Citizen on December 8, 2020 at 10:41 pm

    Good job! It looks really nice and cosy 🙂

  50. Erinti on December 8, 2020 at 10:42 pm

    It’s great how living and bedroom spaces were separated, having bed in the middle of a room is a common disaster. Personally I would never put a desk where there is no natural light, but it’s up to owner and their preferences. Also, I would choose sofa bed instead of sofa just in case there are guests coming.
