Great curtainSiskaExcellent quality for the price, provides privacy, very happy with my purchase5
Very Happy. Highly Recommended JillianThese curtains look fantastic Left them to fall to the floor naturally Very stylish 5
Sheds new light to the roomMelThese curtains transmit a smell amount of light through them which gives a pleasant appearance when drawn shut.5
Good qualityMelodyCompletely not transparent, blocks glare while still let some lights to get through. The metal rings make it easy to pull open and close.5
A good curtain that wasKarenA good curtain that was a bit long so had to sew up myself. Not a blockout curtain but good for sleeping.slides good on the rail.4
Please make these to be used with hooks SamI’ve seen these in store and would have loved to buy them, however they’re eyelet curtains and I’m after ones to be hung with hooks. 4
Hard to iron wrinkle easyRachelBought these and washed them as they smelt. They of course wrinkled in the wash. Ironing them was the WORST, even when ironed they are still wrinkled. The fabric is rather thick and stiff. Doesn't fall straight and flat like other curtains I've had. I only bought these as I needed white block out curtains and this was the closet I could get to what I wanted. I'm not looking forward to washing them in future. I have some pink curtains sitting infront of these that are more sheer, so it hides the wrinkled look. I regret buying this type of fabric honestly. They also let some light in however they are not meant to be complete block out curtains. They are meant to darken rooms but I feel too much light still gets through.2
Two different lengths, hugely disappointedHannahRecently put these up- look great BUT the pair are two different lengths! Really obviously different. So so disappointed.1
CurtainsKimHeavy fabric m, certainly block majority of light but not completely dark4
The great choiceKazukoWe got the curtain instead of the blind. The room looks much brighter with the white curtain and we can still keep the privacy. It's a better product than we expected.5

Premium Value with Subtle DarknessHakeemThe Merete Room Darkening Curtain falls slightly short of its promise to deliver complete darkness but compensates with its premium material and excellent value for money. While it may not provide pitch-black darkness, it effectively reduces light and creates a cozy ambience, making it suitable for daytime napping and creating a serene atmosphere. The curtain's sturdy construction and luxurious feel justify its price, and easy installation adds to its appeal. Overall, if you're seeking a high-quality curtain that offers moderate darkness and affordability, the Merete Room Darkening Curtain is a worthy choice5

Material

What is cotton?

Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.

Function solution

Room darkening fabric

The room darkening fabric lets in a small amount of daylight, when it is brighter outside and darkens the room. It prevents glare on TV’s and digital screens. It gives you a strong sense of privacy as people cannot see in day or night. Silhouettes and light indoors are barely perceived.
