The Cutest Outdoor Light Is on Sale at IKEA Right Now (It’s So “Practical!”)

A little mood lighting can go a long way — especially when you’re eating al fresco during the summer months. Twinkle lights and candles are excellent tools to set the mood, but IKEA has an outdoor lamp that is designed specifically for creating ambiance. It comes in two different sizes, and both are currently on sale during IKEA’s summer savings event — so grab one now to make your outdoor space the coziest, moodiest spot in your home!

Part of IKEA’s outdoor-centric SOLVINDEN line, this artistically crafted table lamp looks like something between a Japanese paper lantern and a woven basket. It’s made with a weather-resistant plastic and features a battery-powered LED light that has a lifetime of approximately 25,000 hours, so this little lamp will keep you company for years to come.

It also features a handle at the top for easy moving (or hanging), and the barrel-like design casts whimsical shadows as soon as the lamp flicks on. The 9-inch size is on sale for just under $10, and the larger 13-inch size is on sale for $15.

People are really appreciating how functional the light is. “So nice. The lamp being suitable for both indoor and outdoor use is very practical,” one IKEA shopper wrote in their review. “It has two different lighting settings, and its shadow falls beautifully underneath and around it.”

“Great versatile light,” another shopper said, adding, “Great for stairwells, nightlight, picnics, low light, the uses are endless!”

And someone else added, “We have big of these lights, in both sizes, we have one at the top of the stairs to use for late night doggy potty breaks so no big light needs to be turned on waking the other up. We also use one in the little alcove for an extra light.”

Amazon sells a similar woven-style lamp, although this one is for indoor use only. It’s dimmable, comes with a soft-glow LED bulb, and can be plugged into any outlet. You can grab it now while it’s on sale for just under $35.

Cast a cozy glow in your outdoor space with the IKEA SOLVINDEN lamp. They won’t stay on sale forever, so take advantage of the savings now!
