Stripes are timeless, but they’re having a serious moment right now — and the bolder you go with the pattern (like stripe-drenching!), the better. And IKEA just introduced a new lampshade that fits the trend perfectly. It’s a black-and-white striped RINGSTA shade, and it’s already getting rave reviews from people who’ve picked it up.

What Is The IKEA RINGSTA?

The RINGSTA shade can be used for pendant lamps or floor lamps, depending on the cord set or lamp base you pair with it. It’s a simple cylindrical shape, but this version has wide black and white stripes printed on the exterior to give it a wow factor.

“I am so excited about this lampshade,” a TikTok user named Laura (@laura.marie.rolfes) said about the RINGSTA in a recent IKEA haul video. “So many of my lampshades are just beige or white, and I’m over it.”

What IKEA Shoppers Are Saying

Other IKEA shoppers are in the same boat as Laura — it’s time to add a bit of pattern to their space, and the striped RINGSTA is just what the doctor ordered. “Very pretty, we have set it up as a floor lamp next to the sofa, it looks great,” one person wrote in their review.

Another person added, “Easy to assemble and affordable. These are beautiful on my floor lamps!”

If your IKEA is out of stock or you’re unable to snag one online, consider another striped lampshade from Wayfair. This option comes in navy blue rather than black and also comes in two sizes. It’s a little bit pricier than the IKEA version, but it is made with high-quality cotton fabric. 

Ditch your basic lampshades and pick up the high-contrast RINGSTA shade to add a bit of interest to your space. It’s super affordable and will make a big impact almost instantly!
