I used to be a curtain ring hater until I had to quickly buy and put up something and ended up with the metal rings. Well once I realized how easy and smooth the open and close, never snagging along the rod I learned to love them. Living near the beach I open and close my curtains numerous times a day and having curtains that easily slide is a game changer. I’m sold. 😘

I live in a Victorian and discovered IKEA shortly after moving in. They have amazing prices for extra long curtains. I have them throughout my house. I had my seamstress turn their grommet curtains upside down and hem them leaving the grommets in place because it weighted them down. She also did what you suggested, added width by using 2 panels per side. She sewed them together, which you really don't have to do but for the inexpensive price of the panels I definitely opted for her cost of joining them. Their curtains are amazing & their option for adding blackout panels is brilliant.

I would love a video exclusively on curtain rods. It’s so hard to find nice ones that are wide enough and look high quality. I would especially love some nice curtain rods for my modern rustic home.

This was great. Can you also review curtain rods? I’d like recommendations on the double rods that can be used for sheers and black out curtains together.

Actually the Hilja are really great! They look really good in my space. Don’t let the price fool you! I get lots of compliments on. Them!

TYSM for this detailed video. Everytime I go to look at the curtains at Ikea, I get overwhelmed and leave empty-handed. Love your channel and the content!

I have the Merete and I love those rings haha. Not only do I like the look of them, but the function is great. There is no other way to open the curtains more than with this system. You can really push the curtains almost flat to the wall. My rooms are only 1, 9 or 2, 10 meters wide, so approx 6-7 feet. Without those rings, half of my room still has curtains when they are open and I really want the light to come in. So it's not only the look that matters. But they do look stunning even in smaller rooms.

Thanks for this great video! You mentioned you don’t recommend the IKEA rods.. where do you get your curtain rods from or where do you recommend checking out? Thanks!

Ive had the vilborg for maybe six years or so, still look very classy and new. Wash them once or twice a year and its very easy to launder. I have 6 curtains = 3 pair on a window 2500mm wide, even with just 2 pair it look ok on this window. Ive got some clothes line from diaiso and 3 pool noodles from ?, thread noodles on the line and hook the lot up with the hooks built in on daiso line. Can hang curtains to dry over the pool noodles for a totally smooth no kink no crease, no clothes line marks at all. All good.

Love your videos, so glad I found your channel. Will you please do a video on how to hang blackout curtains. I’ve seen a few but they don’t look classy.

Any comments on Silverlonn? I bought some in white for linen look soft light filtering. I will mount then on a black umbra curtain rod and rings.

Thank you! This is so timely. Shopping for curtains later this afternoon. Already check the store here on line. I might have to order what I want!

[fifteensouth]

Thank you, thank you!! Now can you do another one for Amazon too?!?

The curtains with the rings were called “loft” curtains when they first came out and they had a purpose in that they covered curtain walls and stacked back to nothing in daytime. I loved my vilborg curtains in natural until i came back from cataract surgery 2 wks ago and they looked pink. These drapes have a very thin pinstripe in a terra cotta colour ( the new trend color). Thinking of trying the ritka white drapes which are more sheer and let in more light.
I’m enjoying having more light in the room with no drapes.

I have a wall of Sanela hanging in my bedroom. They’re an older model that used to have the grommets. I flipped them upside down, sewed the ikea curtain tape on, and cut off the grommets and hemmed to floor length. I also added a 2nd layer of of darkening panels that ikea sells (or used to sell?). They hang from the hooks on the back as a liner.

[tammieroberts-crays]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that despises those ugly rings sewn into the curtain. I will never understand a manufacturer that designs a good quality curtain and then ruins it by putting those rings in it. 🤦

[dianemason]

Just bought drapes at IKEA yesterday! Bought the white on white pattern that you passed on. They look good. Need the wrinkles to be steamed out. Wish I’d seen this first. Really good presentation.

Hi Valentina. For wide windows do you recommend sewing the panels together? Any tricks for keeping multiple panels from separating? I sewed mine but now too bulky for the home washing machine.

[bettyclaxton]

Loved your video. What do you recommend for covering a French door for privacy when you want a modern space?
