Firstly, you need to create the class for the customCell which inherits from UITableViewCell. Now, add the properties you want to have in your customCell. In this example I added cellImage and cellLabel.

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UILabel *cellLabel;
@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIImageView *cellImageView;

After that you need to link the UILabel and the UIImageView from the CustomCell to the Nib.

You need to add:

- (void)viewDidLoad 
{
    ....
    [self.tableView registerNib:[UINib nibWithNibName:@"xibName" bundle:nil] forCellReuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    .....
}

- (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
    static NSString *CellIdentifier = @"CustomCellReuse";
    CustomCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    if (cell == nil) {
        cell = [[CustomCell alloc] initWithStyle:UITableViewCellStyleDefault reuseIdentifier:CellIdentifier];
    }
    // Configure the cell...
    [cell.cellImageView setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"whatever"]];
    [cell.cellLabel setText = @"whatever"];
    return cell;
}
