These “Absolutely Adorable” $4 IKEA Gems Will Add a Bit of Whimsy to Your Walls
If you’re the kind of person who likes your home to express as much personality as your clothes and accessories do, you’ve probably experienced how tricky it can be to find furniture and decor that not only aligns with your aesthetic, but also fits comfortably in your place, functions well, and doesn’t completely break the bank. It can be tempting to focus on large statement pieces like floor lamps and sectionals, but don’t overlook all the small and budget-friendly ways you can add unique design elements. Even your wall hooks can be stylish, thanks to this fun new IKEA offering: the IKEA OMMJÄNGE Wall Hooks.
What Are the IKEA OMMJÄNGE Wall Hooks?
These wall hooks are part of IKEA’s OMMJÄNGE collection, which is “inspired by Swedish folk art” and includes colorful and floral-inspired decor. Made from steel coated in colorful epoxy powder, each wall hook in this three-pack takes the shape of a playful flower: one pink, one yellow, and one red. It almost looks like someone creatively unfolded a paper clip, although these hooks are much sturdier than that.
They’re also quite affordable; you get three hooks for $3.99. In classic IKEA fashion, you do need to install them yourself, but that just requires one screw per hook. (Note that mounting materials aren’t included.) Once they’re up on your walls, you can use them for anything that needs hanging: tote bags and jackets, headphones and charging cables, measuring spoons and kitchen accessories, necklaces and bracelets — even small plants in hanging planters. If you can’t decide what to hang up, these hooks will look cute and purposeful even when displayed bare.
Why Shoppers Love These Cute Hooks
“I want to break stereotypes and show that folk art can be both inspiring and exciting,” Maria Vinka, who designed these floral wall hooks, says on IKEA’s website. Judging by the online reviews, shoppers seem to agree. “So easy to mount — just wish it came with screws! They are absolutely adorable,” Ashley writes. They seem to be a popular choice for children’s rooms; one customer used them for coat hooks in their nursery, while reviewer Myriam put them up to act “as helmet holders for the kids.” Of course, they’re not just for youngsters. “They offer many possible uses at home and look original at the same time,” Myriam adds in her review.
And if flowers aren’t your thing, IKEA has another set of wall hooks in an eye-catching squiggle design — and at $3.99 for a two-pack, it’s similarly priced.
