Goodbye Table Runner: IKEA’s New Light Decor Makes Your Christmas Table Sparkle for $9
As the holidays approach, we already imagine the family table set, the plates aligned, the centerpieces in place… but what if the star of the ambiance isn’t solely the dinnerware or the traditional table runner? IKEA, the retailer widely beloved by the French, has recently unveiled a brand-new lighting reference. It’s a very specific garland that promises to revolutionize the decoration of our festive tables and to bring an unexpected touch of sparkle. A close-up.
This luminous IKEA-branded alternative is perfect for elevating your Christmas tables
This year, the Swedish brand is betting everything on lighting. With its STRÅLA garland, IKEA offers an elegant and charming alternative to the traditional table runner. Battery-powered, this string of lights consists of 10 LED bulbs that mimic the effect of Bengal fire.
Placed at the center of the table, tucked between the plates, or wound around a floral arrangement, it creates a magical look without going over the top. The STRÅLA garland is notable for its flexible usability. With no visible electrical cord, it adapts to any table, whether round, square, or rectangular. You can also place it on a simple shelf.
How much can you buy this IKEA Christmas accessory for?
Another piece of good news: this STRÅLA string light is offered at a gentle price of only $9.99. A modest sum for a stunning visual effect. This small fixture, at once design-forward and functional, lets you refresh your festive décor without breaking the bank.
And thanks to its battery-powered operation, there’s no need for a nearby outlet: it can be set up anywhere—on the table, on a shelf, a console, or even around a window. This affordable accessory makes all the difference when you want to create a convivial atmosphere without blowing your budget.

IKEA gradually reveals its Christmas collection
And IKEA isn’t stopping there. The STRÅLA range is broad. For several weeks now, the Swedish brand has been gradually releasing decorative items that will beautify your interior during Christmas. You can find other light fixtures in the shapes of a reindeer or even a star. In the same vein as the garland shown above, these products are all offered at affordable prices.
Two additional lines have also been imagined to make your spaces even prettier for the holiday season. The first, VINTERFINT, highlights traditional Christmas decorations. The second, VINTERSAGA, leans more toward the convivial spirit of the celebrations, with goodies-inspired offerings.
