| IKEA’s new Västmärke accessories (Wireless charger with lighting pictured) are now available in some countries. |
If you’ve ever wrestled with a tangled cable or struggled to find a charging spot on a cluttered nightstand, IKEA might have just dropped the solution. The Swedish home furnishing giant has quietly launched a trio of new wireless chargers under its fresh Västmärke range, and they’re hitting shelves in select countries with a focus on clever design and everyday usability.
Move over, bland black pucks. IKEA is entering the charging arena with accessories that look like they belong in your home, not hidden behind a sofa. Let’s unbox what the new Västmärke family has to offer.
1. The Västmärke Wireless Charger: The Compact, Foldable Travel Buddy
First up is the straightforwardly named Västmärke Wireless Charger. This one’s for the minimalist and the mobile. Its most striking feature is its playful, doughnut-like shape wrapped in a bright red silicone case. But it’s not just about looks—this little gadget is clever.
The top half is the magnetic charging pad, designed to snap and hold compatible smartphones securely in place. The real ingenuity is underneath: the lower half folds out into a handy grip and is hollowed out to neatly store its attached USB-C cable. At roughly 2 x 1 inches, it’s incredibly portable. Toss it in a bag, use it on your desk, or prop it up on your kitchen counter—it’s a simple, affordable solution that tidies away its own cord.
2. The Västmärke Wireless Charging Stand: Your Desk’s New Best Friend
For those who want a more permanent charging station, the Västmärke Wireless Charging Stand is a strong contender. Designed for a bedside table, home office desk, or as a recipe-holder in the kitchen, it offers flexible horizontal or vertical positioning.
Your phone attaches via a strong magnet, allowing for easy viewing of notifications or videos while it powers up. IKEA has added a touch of warmth with a cork base, providing stability and a natural aesthetic that fits right into the brand’s Scandinavian design ethos. With dimensions of 3.25 x 2.75 x 4.5 inches, it’s substantial enough to be a dedicated spot for your device without dominating the space.
3. The Västmärke Wireless Charger with Lighting: A Two-in-One Marvel
Perhaps the most intriguing of the trio is the Västmärke Wireless Charger with Lighting. This device proves IKEA is thinking beyond mere charging. It combines a wireless charging pad with a beautiful, bowl-shaped vessel.
You can drop your keys, coins, or earbuds into the bowl, while the central “puck” on top charges your phone. A press on this puck activates a soft, ambient light, turning it into a mood light for your hallway or a gentle night light. Partially made from glass, it’s the most sculptural piece of the collection, measuring 10.5 x 2.5 x 11.0 inches. It’s functional decor.

Power & Compatibility: No Guesswork Needed
All three chargers share a strong technical foundation. They are Qi2.0 certified, ensuring broad compatibility and delivering a solid up to 15W output for fast charging. They also support PD 3.0 and QC 2.0 protocols, covering most modern smartphones.
Each one comes with a generous 47-inch (120 cm) USB-C cable. A crucial note: the wall adapter is not included. IKEA recommends pairing them with its own Sjöss 20W USB fast charger for optimal performance, but any quality USB-C PD charger will do the job.
Availability & Pricing: Classic IKEA Value
As of now, the Västmärke range is available in countries including the United States, Italy, and Germany. The pricing is where IKEA’s disruptive nature shines:
- Västmärke Wireless Charger: $9.99 / €9.99
- Västmärke Wireless Charging Stand: $24.99 / €12.99
- Västmärke Wireless Charger with Lighting: $24.99 / €19.99
The staggered pricing in Europe vs. the US is interesting, and it’s currently unclear when a wider European rollout will happen.
The Bottom Line
IKEA isn’t trying to compete with ultra-high-tech charging stations. Instead, with the Västmärke series, it’s focusing on thoughtful design, material warmth, and solving small but frequent household irritations. From a cable-managing travel puck to a charging night light, these accessories feel like they were designed for real life. At these price points, they’re not just wireless chargers; they’re an affordable way to add a dose of organized, cord-free calm to your daily routine.
