Let's get lost in layers

With layer upon layer of different types of curtains, plus blinds to even further control the light and privacy levels, you can turn your window into a cozy and constantly changing scene. It’s beauty that also serves practical functions – the curtain and blinds can be drawn to and from as necessary to adjust the light, sound, temperature, and privacy. Let these solutions guide you on how to hang curtains properly and get you the weekday escapes you want.

Here’s a quick and easy way on how to measure curtains for your home.

First measure the width of your window (a). 

This determines the width of your curtain rod or track rail. Add at least 15 cm on each side to allow the curtains to cover the window properly and open completely.

 

Next measure the length of your curtains (b). 

This determines the length you wish your curtains to be. Measure from the top of the window frame and stop where you want your curtains to end. As a rule of thumb, add 15 cm to the measurement. Mount the curtain rod or rack rail 15 cm above the window.

Relax with layers

Our curtain guide doesn't only teach you how to hang and measure curtains – we help you discover the best way to relax too. Allow daylight to shine through the weave of a linen curtain creating a comfortable light and creating privacy. Need to catch up on some sleep? Reduce the light with an inner layer of blinds behind your curtains. Keep the colors bright and light, and allow your room to be a calm oasis.

Because it's safer

We believe children are the most important people in the world. Therefore, we adapted our range of blinds and curtains to make your windows as safe as possible. We spent four years coming up with alternatives, and where we couldn’t, we simply removed the product from our range. So now all IKEA blinds and curtains are completely safe for your kids. Goodbye cords, hello peace of mind.
