When it comes to home lighting, ceiling lamps are more than just light sources — they shape atmosphere, define style, and often act as the visual anchor of a room. IKEA has long offered some of the most accessible, design-forward lighting options on the market.
Here are five of the most loved and talked-about IKEA pendant lamps, each with their own distinctive features and functions – based on how they look and perform in real life.
The HÖGVIND pendant lamp brings together three hand-blown, smoke-gray glass shades in one beautifully cohesive fixture. Each shade features a perforated metal diffuser inside, casting a soft glow while reducing glare.
Its brushed nickel details and architectural design make it a perfect choice for modern dining areas or kitchen islands.

IKEA's new RÅDMANSÖ series offers a warm walnut wood look with sleek, modern details that stand out in any bedroom. The series combines a retro-inspired design with practical storage solutions, all elevated by slim black legs with subtle brass-colored tips.
KALLAX is a fan favorite when it comes to dividing space, but it's not always the easiest to move around. If you live in a small apartment, like to change up your layout often, or just want something lighter, IKEA has several room divider options that are stylish, portable, and easy to fold or roll away.
The IKEA STOCKHOLM collection is one of IKEA's most exclusive and beloved ranges, known for its focus on craftsmanship, natural materials and timeless design. Unlike many other IKEA series, STOCKHOLM is created with the idea of long-lasting furniture pieces that bring a sense of luxury while still being accessible to a wide audience.
The STOREMOLLA series is one of IKEA's newest storage solutions, combining the timeless appeal of solid pine with a clean, rounded design. Available in two sizes and two elegant stain finishes, these chests of drawers bring both practicality and style to the home. Filmed by Mauritz at the IKEA Berlin Waltersdorf and Spandau store.
When it comes to kitchen design, the backsplash is often where creativity shines. Instead of the usual tiles, glass, or stainless steel, IKEA has presented something truly unexpected in one of their showrooms: a backsplash made entirely of faux greenery.
Finding smart storage solutions is often a challenge, especially in smaller homes or apartments where every square meter counts. One of the most overlooked spaces is under the staircase, a tricky corner that can either collect dust or be transformed into a highly functional storage area.
