5 Little Luxuries To Buy At IKEA This October

There's something special about October. Autumn is in full swing, and as the weather cools down and 2025 comes to a close, many are choosing to embrace slow living and little luxuries, including making their homes reflect their cozy lifestyle. If you can relate to yearning for elegance and charm but don't want to break the bank, you'll find plenty of new, affordable items at IKEA to set the mood in your own space this season.

From tasteful lighting to charming mirrors, there are plenty of small, stylish ways zhuzh up your home. A lamp can instantly transform a nightstand or office space with function and aesthetics, while a mirror will make a room appear larger, which, in turn, adds a chic touch. And while you could certainly find plenty of luxury decor items at major department stores, IKEA's highly rated and budget-friendly home essentials prove you don't need to drop a ton on decor to spruce up your space.

HAMNSENAP duvet cover and pillowcases

One of the ways you can employ a luxurious atmosphere is through color. And what shade brings more joy than yellow? Yellow is often associated with optimism and happiness. The cheerful mustard hues of IKEA's HAMNSENAP duvet cover and pillowcase set, priced at $34.99, are a fitting October accent, with charming geometric and floral patterns evoking nostalgia and a sheen creating a sense of luxury without the high-end costs. Plus, the sheets and pillowcases are reversible, so you can mix things up to fit your mood.

According to the average review for this product, most agree that this set is as comfy and cozy as it is luxurious. One reviewer says, "It is elegant and good quality." Another 5-star review explains that this set fits their compatible IKEA duvet insert, adding, "The material is comfortable even if it isn't a high thread count. I recommend this set."

TVÅMASTAD LED portable lamp

It's easy to believe that elegant lighting often costs a fortune, but this TVÅMASTAD table lamp is here to squash that idea. Priced at only $39.99, this frosted opal glass lamp is reminiscent of mid-century modern decor, with a well-made brass metal base and soft lighting. This charming lamp also works well for a variety of different interior styles, including contemporary or transitional decor, and can add luxury to home offices, consoles, end tables, and night stands. Able to run off four AA batteries, it's as portable and flexible as you need it to be. It also has a USB-C port, letting you power it with a plug for constant light or charge rechargeable batteries in the compartment. You can even remove the handle on the back for simpler sophistication.

With an overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars, the only notable drawback is the screw for the battery cover. Many find that it strips easily, with some suggesting using a flathead to prevent damage when you open it. Otherwise, buyers love the simple, stylish, and sturdy design and surprisingly bright LED light. One 5-star review mentions the beautiful lighting, stating the lamp went weeks without needing a charge. They explained, "I absolutely love this lightweight lamp. Easy to carry wherever you need it. Even if you want to have an elevated glamping experience!"

BLODBJÖRK vase

When you want to make a space feel luxurious, the details matter. And IKEA's BLODBJÖRK vase, which retails for $19.99, could be the crucial addition to bring understated elegance to any room. The neutral, matte finish with subtle hand-splashed texture makes this vase an instant classic and complements a variety of different interior styles. Its simplicity and muted tone works well across contemporary, cottage, and rustic looks. You could add artificial and live flowers, branches, cotton stems, and much more inside the wide-mouth vase to instantly brighten up kitchen countertops, shelves, coffee tables, and dining room areas.

As IKEA points out, the vase imbues a warm, calming effect, and because it features subtle splotch designs, it can appear collected and personalized. Unfortunately, there aren't many reviews for this product; however, the reviews available give it five stars and rave about its beautiful appearance and value. With its attractive crafted look and weighty stone texture, the low-priced BLODBJÖRK makes for a chic attention grabber without overwhelming the space.

HOVET mirror

It's no secret that floor mirrors can instantly add a sense of luxury to any room, and the HOVET mirror from IKEA is no exception. While it may be priced at $169.99, its generous scale measuring 30 ¾ inches by 77 ⅛ inches and 4.6-star customer rating speak to its value. The mirror comes in three frame finishes — black, aluminum, and gold — so it will easily fit within the perfect design style for your space. You could stand it upright or hang it horizontally to add depth and dimension to a room. It seamlessly complements and enhances surrounding elements with its simple frame and works best in spaces that have ample room, like living rooms or large master bedrooms.

Many reviews note how easy the mirror is to hang and rave about its size. One 5-star review explains that it's beautiful and elegant, while another pointed out the modern and clean look the mirror gives. However, some customers have concerns about the quality of the mirror itself, with one 1-star review explaining that it gives off a warped image, stating, "This mirror is totally warped. I got it for my living room, but standing far away from it makes people look like they are in a funhouse."

BLADFÅGEL tealight holder

Nothing says luxury more than charming little candle displays. IKEA's BLADFÅGEL pink, playful tealight holders are only 99 cents each and perfect for adding a feminine touch to any space this October. The floral shape complements different decor directions with class and a hint of romance. You can adorn these tealight holders on top of bookshelves, entryway consoles, coffee and end tables, or mantels for a cozy atmosphere, or you could take them into the bath for a relaxing, spa-like experience. Plus, there are multiple sizes and shapes that accommodate different tealights or pillar candles.

With a 5-star rating, it's hard to deny that these tiny candleholders pack a punch. Many reviewers enjoy the affordable price point and their adorable appearance, with one highlighting the pleasantly heavy weight of the glass. Another notes that the holders look great with white furniture, describing them as "simple, small and beautiful."
