IKEA Has a “Folksy” New Storage Gem That Gives Off Swedish Cottage Vibes
It’s no secret that IKEA is home to some serious storage gems. Not only are the Swedish home retailer’s storage finds affordable (some are even under $5!), they’re stylish, too — earning designers’ stamp of approval. Case in point: IKEA’s new OMMJÄNGE baskets. The duo brings display-worthy color, texture, and most importantly, tidiness to virtually any spot in the house. And they’re limited edition, so they won’t be around for long.
What Are the IKEA OMMJÄNGE Baskets?
Inspired by Swedish folk art, the OMMJÄNGE baskets are handwoven from poplar wood and feature strips stained in an earthy pink and orange finish, bringing an artisanal vibe to your living room, kitchen, you name it. The set includes one large and one small basket, making them a stylish storage solution for just about anything. What’s more, the set will only run you $30 — not bad for a handmade gem!
Why We’re into Them
For starters, the OMMJÄNGE baskets are incredibly versatile. When it comes to utility, the limit truly does not exist. Arrange them in your living room to hold blankets, magazines, and games in your kitchen for dish towels, paper towels, or dry produce for a farmers market vibe, or keep them in your closet to organize clothes and accessories.
Wherever you decide to use the OMMJÄNGE baskets, you’ll want them to be out on display, because the woven design is too cute to hide. The rustic woven poplar and the colorful details give the baskets a whimsical, cottagecore flourish. What you get is an artisanal home accent that’s as stylish as it is convenient. Is there anything better?
The baskets’ $30 price tag is also a pretty good deal for handmade storage that doubles as decor. And the fact that you’re getting two means you can spread the organizing joy through multiple spots around the house. The thing about new IKEA releases is that you never really know how long they’ll stick around, so if you’re in the market for cute, clutter-clearing storage, I’d jump on these while they’re still in stock.
