This New 2-in-1 IKEA Lighting Gem Is So Cute and Colorful (It’s on Sale!)
With spring just around the corner, you’re probably in the midst of refreshing your outdoor space. And if your porch, patio, or backyard needs a bit more light for when you’re entertaining after dark, IKEA just released a new indoor/outdoor lamp that not only emits a cozy, warm glow, but it’s also super versatile because it can be styled in two different ways.
The new IKEA SOLVINDEN lamp, available for just under $30 on IKEA’s website, is a modern wire light fixture that’s powder coated in a bright blue finish. It can stand on its own as a floor lamp with the cord trailing out from between the metal bars, or hung from the ceiling using the included pendant clip.
Created by designer Ellen Hallström, the SOLVINDEN lamp also comes with a diffuser shade that sits inside the metal grate and helps create a soft ambience wherever you display it — whether on your patio or hanging in your living room. If you choose not to install it as a pendant, you can easily move it around as needed both indoors and out, especially since it takes up minimal space at just 18” in diameter.
“Super cute once you get it set up,” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. “I also like the ability to have a plug-in lamp outside.” They noted that the instructions are clear, but the lamp can be a bit challenging to assemble. “The designer described it like a LEGO assembly on her Instagram,” the reviewer wrote, so keep that in mind when putting the piece together.
If you pick up the SOLVINDEN lamp from now until March 17, you can save 20% during IKEA’s outdoor lighting sale — as if it weren’t already a steal before. Grab this light for either your pendant or floor lamp needs and turn your outdoor space (or living room or bedroom!) into even more of a cozy oasis this spring and summer season.
