IKEA Valentine's Day trends 2026: feel the love with cute kitchen tech and accessories from $1

Valentine's Day is just a few days away, and IKEA's cute kitchenware is a great way to make breakfast or dinner extra special for your sweetheart. I'm TechRadar's kitchens expert, and I've put together this collection of cookware and accessories that will add a little splash of romance without breaking the bank.

IKEA has launched some exciting lights this year (we were particularly taken by the donut-shaped Varmblixt LED Lamp we saw at the CES tech show last month), and there are some particularly cute options for your kitchen table this Valentine's Day. The wireless Solvinden LED Table Lamp in candy pink would look particularly sweet beside an arrangement of flowers like the Smyka Artificial Bouquet, or the Fejka Artificial Potted Plant with its variegated pink and green foliage.

Want to make more of a statement? The heart-shaped Upplyst LED Wall Lamp emits a soft, cozy light, and is rated for around 20 years of use so you can bring it out time after time (or make it a permanent fixture in your kitchen).

Fill the Sommaröga Serving Stand with cupcakes or muffins, and serve them with a handful of heart-printed Vinterfint Paper Napkins to catch any stray crumbs – for just $1. Not much of a baker? If you have a store nearby, IKEA's Swedish Food Market offers a huge selection of cakes, desserts, and cookies to enjoy as part of a special Valentine's Day 'fika' or coffee break.
