calm down and go to Ikea
Bernd Sun, 16 Mar 2025 22:50:18 GMT No. 25655648
>>25655640 that's where I buy most stuff but some categories of items are just not up to the blue-yellow standard these days re-releases of classic IKEA pieces are always 10x worse than the originals but if you buy original you gotta go to auction sites and the delivery fee is more than the item value even if you buy it from an auction house in a town 10km away

Most American furniture outlets don't sell in Sweden, I'm pretty sure. And I don't know of any Swedish furniture businesses other than Ikea. There's probably a lot of fancy designer furniture made in the country.

I recently bought a flat in Amsterdam and I got some extra money from the bank to invest in the refurbishment, so I contracted a local interior designer. Will post on KC when I get back the initial designs back.

Ikea has soulless White minimalist shite, imo. Furniture shoppes with more traditional elements are expensive >>25655695 Are all Dutchkeinbernds also garches!?

>>25655743 You can get cheaper traditional furniture at the flea market, classifieds, or antique stores. But you ought to be careful, from my observation the lines get blurred between gypsy furniture and being tasteful

Whatever you do, at least make sure you use lots of nearly-identical green shades and patterns and plenty of gold and crystal to wow the peasants dress down so you seem more approachable

>>25655695 >I got some extra money from the bank to invest in the refurbishment Is it some type of low interest loan for home improvements?
Bernd Sun, 16 Mar 2025 23:16:18 GMT No. 25655790 >>25655819
>>25655743 I bet most of them are. >>25655761 The interest is around 3.5%, but the good thing about the Netherlands is that you can get 100% of the mortgage amount approved by the bank, together with an additional amount that you can put into renovation as it raises the value of the property.

I'm lucky to have a shop called The Furniture Trader where they avoid the chinkshit of SuperAMart or whatever and the soulless scandinavian blandness of Ikea. They do solid, attractive but understated wooden furniture and it's all made in Australia, Vietnam or Indonesia.

>>25655845 you don't pay it back?

>>25655871 Yes, that's me. I am still keeping and subletting the Berlin flat. >>25655819 No downpayment, you just pay back the monthly mortgage amount. By the time you get the taxes back it's way cheaper than renting.

>>25657499 I do the same although I didn’t loan 100% (in Sweden it’s min 15% cash) and I don’t get why more people don’t, they just hoard savings that they never use for any investments while paying more in rent than they would for the monthly mortgage payment, and in return their savings get eroded by eternally increasing real estate prices and inflation while they pretend they’re gonna save up two million SEK on a median income settis, staying in their somali ghetto with massive rent bumps every year until they turn 75 and get put in a nursing home. The argument they have is usually ”I don’t want to be bound to a loan” but just sell that shit if you go bankrupt somehow, which is impossible anyway unless you’re a retard cause we have income insurances + arbeitslosheitskasse + gibs + free studentbux so even if you get fired and decide not to look for a job for months you can still make the payments. The second argument is ”it’s so comfortable to rent because if something breaks down your landlord fixes it” as if being a rentee paying 50% more for same size and standard housing per lunar cycle is somehow better than paying 500 eur every couple of years as a one-time cost to repair a dishwasher that’s covered by your insurance anyways. >>25657585 looks good, I like gardening and plants and incorporate greenery into my home because it would feel dead without
