How To Use IKEA's New OMMJANGE Collection To Add Pops Of Color To Your Entryway

The entryway to your home says a lot about you and your space. While everyone has their own personal style, there is one shared goal when it comes to a property's entrance: to make sure your entryway is always practical and beautiful. The newest IKEA OMMJÄNGE collection is full of promising products that are sure to help out with that goal. Stocked with items that are brightly colored and crafted from high-quality materials, the collection is designed to give Swedish folk art a place in your home.

Browsing through the OMMJÄNGE collection, you'll see oranges, pinks, reds, browns, blues, and other rich hues, all of which are easy to incorporate into your entryway for a visual pop. You can use the cushion covers to add comfort to entryway seating, for example, while the colorful wall hooks can be situated throughout the space for storage of purses and coats. Brightly colored pendant lamps and classy tea light holders bring illumination to your entryway, while hanging tapestries and woven rugs add some texture to the floors and walls. Whether you want color in every corner or just a splash of it here and there, these OMMJÄNGE products should be a great place to start.

The OMMJÄNGE cushion cover ($9.99) is a guaranteed way to add a pop of color to your entryway. You can position one on top of a bench for some extra comfort, making it a functional addition, or you could place one on a chair in your foyer as an accent piece. Either way, it will brighten up the space; when it inevitably gets dirty, just pop it in the washing machine. Customers speak highly of the cushion cover on IKEA's website, with one 5-star review saying that it's "nicely made." 

The OMMJÄNGE Stool ($39.99) is a great little accent piece, but it's also perfect for adults or kids who need an assist when putting their shoes on. You can easily position the tiny stool in the corner of your entryway for guests to sit on, too. Customers are a little mixed on their opinion of the stool on the IKEA website, giving it a 4-star average. Fans say that it's cute and easy to assemble; others have complaints with the product's quality control.

If you find yourself wanting a colorful spot to place items like phones, keys, wallets, or sunglasses, the OMMJÄNGE basket ($29.99 for a set of two) is ideal for a drop zone or grab station. The baskets are made from distinctly colorful woven reeds that look cute and whimsical, but with an undeniably folksy vibe. Customers have given the baskets a 4.3-star average so far. 

Every entryway needs a good spot to put shoes, and if you're not fortunate enough to have a closet or built-in storage solution, then a basket is an obvious choice. This larger OMMJÄNGE basket ($44.99) can easily be used for shoe storage — and it will help bring a pop of color to your space as well, thanks to the blue detailing around the rim. It's nice and large, too, so you can even use it when hosting a casual gathering with friends. Customers have given the basket a 4.9-star average, praising it for its sturdiness and visual appeal.

Whether your entryway needs a little color vertically or horizontally, the OMMJÄNGE trays ($19.99 for a set of two) can deliver it. You can hang them from the wall where family and friends can admire their unique shape and color, or you could use them as a catch-all tray on an entryway table. Alternatively, why not adorn one with a number of decorative items, such as a candle or a vase of flowers? Customers give this product a 4.8-star average, with one reviewer pointing out that the trays are solid and made from real wood.

Everyone loves tea light candles, — but there are sometimes safety concerns when it comes to lighting and leaving an open flame. The OMMJÄNGE tea light holder ($9.99) from IKEA is a classy and timeless candle vessel, one that can more safely contain the candle on an entryway table. The amber color of the base provides just the subtle color that your foyer table might be needing, too. Customers are loving this product, with a 4.8-star overall average. Reviewers call it beautiful, delicate, and unique.

The OMMJÄNGE pendant lamp shade ($22.99) provides a colorful and playful burst of color to your entryway lighting setup. The yellow, red, and pink hues are bold, but, since it will be suspended from the ceiling, they won't steal the show. Customers say that the piece is a nice statement addition, giving it a 4.1-star average on IKEA's website.

Looking for a chair to place in your entryway? The OMMJÄNGE chair ($120) comes in a soft-yet-uplifting blue shade that will add a nice colorful splash to any space. It's great for a spot to sit and put your shoes on, or even ad hoc storage bags, cardigans, and the like. While the chair is a new piece, one very happy customer says that it's stylish and comfortable. Over time, this chair is likely to become a favorite pick from IKEA's whimsical spring collection.

If you want to make an impact the moment you walk in, the rich and bold colors of the OMMJÄNGE rug ($279.99) are sure to be a hit. This rug is ideal for larger entryways, since it's a good size, and the unique patterns and colors play well with the other items from the collection. Customers are enamored with this rug, too, giving it a 4.8-star average and saying that it's both interesting and well made.

You can never have too many hooks in an entryway, as they're useful for hanging everything from coats and cardigans to shopping bags and purses. The brightly colored OMMJÄNGE wall hooks ($3.99 for a set of three) can be installed wherever you're craving more storage space. You can arrange them in a clean row or vary their positioning for a more eclectic vibe. They're easy to install as well, and have a perfect 5-star average so far from happy customers.

Every entryway needs a good bench, and if you're hoping for a colorful introduction to your home, you cannot beat the OMMJÄNGE bench with storage ($129.99). This brightly colored bench has plenty of space for storing a variety of items inside, while delicate detailing on the natural pine makes it a true statement piece. You can pair it with a cushion on top or a lightweight, neutral-colored throw draped over the seating for more comfort and texture. It has a 4.6-star average from customers so far.

You might not be used to seeing a hanging cabinet in an entryway, but this is a sneaky way to add extra storage to your home's entrance — as well as some bonus color. The OMMJÄNGE cabinet with two doors and a shelf ($69.99) is made from colorfully painted wood and has ample storage inside. You can use it as a place to keep keys, sunglasses, and other essentials you often use. Despite its adorable appearance, however, customers have grumbled about the quality of the product's wood, and it holds a 3.1-star average on the IKEA site. 

Last but not least, the OMMJÄNGE hanging tapestry ($14.99) is an easy way to add some colorful whimsy to your home's entryway. Hang it from the wall to bring visual depth and intrigue to the space; if your entryway doesn't have a large enough wall, simply use any wall that's visible from the entryway — this will help to extend the colorful welcome further into your home. Happy customers have given it a 5-star average so far. Just be aware that you'll have to track down your own round hanging rod.
