Without a doubt, lighting is one of the most transformative things you can do in a room, but that doesn't mean you need to spend a fortune on it. Just like all those clever IKEA hacks that turn something simple into something incredibly chic, IKEA lighting can take any space from bland to statement-making at the flick of a switch.
1. Natural Texture

If there's one IKEA pendant lamp we see time and time again, it's the Sinnerlig. This woven beauty is handcrafted from sustainable bamboo, so every shade emits its own unique quality. The soft, glowing light from this lovely lamp is the perfect welcome home.
2. Light and Airy

This pendant light is perfect for those who love the bright and airy look. It's like having your own fluffy little cloud indoors. This is ideal for creating a soft and cozy atmosphere because it diffuses the light across the room.
You can personalize it simply by crumpling the paper layers into your desired shape.
3. Industrial

If you want to add a dash of industrial flair to your dining room, then the large-scale Foto lamp will take you there. This is ideally suited to areas where you want directed light, so a dining table or bar area are perfect.
4. Modern Minimalism

Sollefteå is the perfect pendant for the modern minimalist. If you prefer lighting that doesn't overtake the room but still makes its presence known, then you've come to the right place. This decorative paper lamp spreads a soft light for that cozy, relaxed atmosphere we all love and crave.
5. Metallic Accents

6. Intimate

Small homes usually combine two spaces in one, just like this small dining room come kitchen. Lighting is key if you want to blend the two seamlessly, and the Melodi pendant lamp is great for bringing directed light into the space that's still soft and atmospheric.
7. Whimsical

Kids' rooms are typically jam-packed with personality and a lot of fun. It's the one place where you throw out the rule book and combine patterns, color, and kitsch with flair. This looks great, and the kids love it, of course, but in order to rein it all in under the stylish umbrella (and make sure it still blends with the rest of the house), insert a Regolit pendant paper shade. It's only $5, yet it instantly elevates the room while giving it a subtle glow.
8. Clean and White

Decorative floor lamps are a great way to accent an empty corner or tricky space. This stylish option gives a modern factory-like appeal with its adjustable arm and metallic accents. The Ranarp floor lamp can turn a tricky corner into a cute reading nook, too.
