Why I’m loving IKEA’s new light pendant

Fall is officially here, and this also means darker days and warm, cozy nights. And if you want to give your home a seasonal makeover, IKEA’s just dropped a luxe pendant light that will certainly make an impression.
The IKEA AKTERSPRING Pendant lamp for $129 is a stunning, eye-catching light pendant that will instantly transform a room. With its brushed gold, contemporary chandelier design, it looks way more expensive than it is.
What’s more, I’ve seen similar lighting for twice the price, making this a great bargain to pick up. Right in time for hosting those festive gatherings.

IKEA AKTERSPRING Pendant lamp: $129 at IKEA
This stunning pendant lamp is designed with a brass-plated metal frame and 3 mouth-blown shades connected by beige textile cords. Ideal to hang over dining tables, this will add a stunning feature to any room.
Why I love the IKEA AKTERSPRING pendant lamp

There’s much I love about IKEA’s luxe, pendant lamp. Firstly, it has an eye-catching, circular design that comes with three glass lampshades. In addition, the brushed gold gives it a luxe feel, adding a touch of glamor to any space.
Ideally, this works well hanging above a dining table to illuminate your delicious feasts, but it is versatile enough to make an impression in your living room or study. Bear in mind, this chandelier would need to be hardwired into the ceiling, so ensure you get a professional to install this if in doubt.
In fact, it’s hard to believe that it’s just under $130 — making this lamp well worth the spend this season.
