The IKEA Lamp That's Going Viral For Its Unique Design (The Possibilities Are Endless)

There are a variety of benefits that come along with choosing the right lamp for your space, from the functionality of always having a light on hand to bolstering a room's visual appeal by paying attention to the details. Plus, choosing the perfect lighting for your space is also a time to show off your personal style with fun picks such as this IKEA lamp that's going viral for its unique design, combining functionality with personalizable aesthetics.

At a glance, IKEA's SMÅSNÖRE LED decorative light, currently priced at $24.99, may look like any other tabletop lamp, but its standout feature is that it's fully adjustable. Not just in its lighting (although you can also change the brightness and color), but also in its shape, thanks to flexible tubing that lets you position it in different ways – without needing to find the right lampshade. This makes it easy to use in different spaces, whether you're adding light to a bookshelf or brightening up a workspace. Because it's adjustable and versatile, it can take some of the guesswork out of determining the right size lamp for your space. If that's a detail you don't want to skip over, however, the entire lamp is 32 inches in length, and it includes a 5-watt LED bulb that produces 450 lumens, which is a popular brightness level for this type of lighting.

At the time of writing, the SMÅSNÖRE light has a 4.8-star rating across more than 100 reviews. Online reviews can be a helpful way to learn whether a product is the right fit for you. However, as in the case of the SMÅSNÖRE light, it can also be a helpful start for learning how to use and stylize this uniquely designed lamp.

Take username Mara, for example, who left a review saying: "I love that this lamp can sit over my project and project light downward and not into my eyes. It is perfect for embroidery, other crafts and [puzzles] too!" Another reviewer, Sally, provided an alternative use for this versatile lamp, stating that they use the "red light at night for winding down when reading." Leysia also highlighted one of the lamp's many uses, noting that they purchased three and "use them in [their] pottery studio to have something cute decorating the space."

While most reviewers were satisfied with the SMÅSNÖRE lamp, with only two reviews holding less than a 3-star rating, one reviewer did note displeasure with the lamp needing to be plugged in to function, stating that the pictures on IKEA's website "show the lights being used with out a wire so [they] assumed they held a charge but unfortunately they need to to be plugged in." This is an important detail to keep in mind when choosing the right position for this unique lamp.
