Color is a powerful part of decorating your living space. Neutral hues may be easy to work with, but the right pop of color can add beauty and ambiance to your space and even increase your home’s value. Paint is usually the go-to way to bring color into a home, but if you rent then you might not want to (or be able to).

Luckily there are plenty of other ways to infuse color into your home that are renter-friendly, like through the furniture items you select. Love the color blue? Well, right now IKEA is selling one of its most popular side tables in a dreamy light blue hue. It’s the perfect practical table that could go anywhere — as a side table next to a sofa, as a nightstand, or even as an entryway catch-all. It does it all.

What Is the IKEA GLADOM Tray Table?

Priced at $24.99, the GLADOM tray table is a cult classic IKEA product. Online reviews date back to at least 2017. But previously, it was only available in three relatively neutral colorways: black, white, and dark gray-green. Now you can get the table in a serene, eye-catching pale blue shade. It’s bold enough to make a statement, but understated enough to work well in homes with more neutral color palettes.

The table measures 20 5/8 inches tall, and the circular tabletop has a 17-1/2 inch diameter. It’s made from coated steel, and it can hold a maximum of 22 pounds. Uniquely, the tabletop can be completely removed so you can also use it as a tray.

Why the IKEA GLADOM Tray Table Is So Great

The blue version of the GLADOM is new, but this table has been an IKEA mainstay for years; there are over 2,200 five-star reviews online that show how versatile it is. “I have purchased four of these tray tables and use them in my backyard,” reviewer Linda writes. “They are easy to [put] together, easy to move, perfect size for drinks, food, candles, you name it.”

One person says they use the table as “a large plant stand,” and another says they use it while camping. Several people even talk about turning the tabletop into a mosaic! The possibilities are truly endless with this thing.
