MERETEAnonymous reviewerHad to buy another set of these curtains because the colour and quality is good. 5
Excellent productAnonymous reviewerVery happy with the quality and the price.5
Great cURTAINS - BUY MORE THAN YOU NEEDAnonymous revieweri BOUGHT 5 PACKETS FOR A FULL BAY WINDOW - 10 single curtains and they look great. Very chic, plus they offer a beautiful soft morning light as they're not complete blackout curtains. 5
Not room darkening Anonymous reviewerNot room darkening at all. Let's a lot of light in. Already had dirt marks on it on opening. Very disappointing as going to return it isn't easy because of the distance 1
Room darkening Anonymous reviewerThese is no way are “room darkening “ they are practically sheer I’m sorry will be returning.1
CurtainsAnonymous reviewerGreat value for money5
CurtainsAnonymous reviewerBeautiful hang really well5
ShrinkageAnonymous reviewerWas pleased with the curtains at first. However when I washed them at a lower temperature than instructions, they shrank by over 10 cms making them unusable for the windows they’d been bought for. Reading through other reviews, I think the shrinkage possibility should be stressed more.1
Looks beautifulAnonymous reviewerLooks beautiful5
Not as expectedAnonymous reviewerThese curtains are not going to Darken your room. They let in light and not as described on the website. I was very disappointed with them.1
CurtainsAnonymous reviewerWe have had these before and look nice when hung5
As described. Good value forAnonymous reviewerAs described. Good value for money.5
It barely blocks any light. I am very disappointedAnonymous reviewerBought this for the summer but it does not do what it says on the box. The room is barely less bright with these curtains. Would not recommend.1
CurtainsAnonymous reviewerExcellent quality , good thick material and blocks out light even though they are white . Have purchased a few of these curtains in different colours5
Nice curtains but quite thinAnonymous reviewerNice curtains but slightly thin. Will be applying a liner to them which will work better for me4
Merete room darkening curtainsAnonymous reviewerDid not darken room at all1
Not room darkeningAnonymous reviewerThere is nothing worse than excitedly hanging a new pair of room darkening curtains and being ready for a lay in on the weekend than hanging said curtains and being woken up the moment the sun rises because your bedroom is flooded with sunlight despite the curtains being fully drawn. There are plenty of other curtains from Ikea which are not labelled as “room darkening” which is exactly why i didn’t choose to buy them. I chose these curtains because they’re labelled as room darkening. But they’re not. So don’t purchase these if you’re hoping for a darkened room. I’d also like to add that Ikea were extremely unhelpful when I raised a complaint about these curtains. If the curtains aren’t room darkening (which they’re definitely not) don’t label them as room darkening. Just label them as curtains like the rest of the ones that let light through so that people don’t buy them under false pretences and waste their money.1
White curtainsAnonymous reviewerNice quality twill curtains. Very easy to take up. They look good.5
perfect for my bedroomAnonymous reviewerNice curtains easy to assemble5

Accessories for MERETE

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.
