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 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.

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.

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.

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 Sanela curtains covering a full wall in my powder/laundry room. I needed the perfect color and weight to hide the laundry machines which are tucked into a closet. We removed the doors because the machines stuck out. LOVE them even after 13ish (maybe more) years! They match the other walls almost perfectly and bring a touch of class into a functional space. I bought 4 panels for an opulent look and to show off the pleating, they also fall graciously without fluffing out like cheaper curtains tend to do. They go from ceiling to slightly touching the floor. The only problem is that after several years of contact with cleaning products, they are showing some wear at the bottom and the color is now discontinued and since I still love the khaki green/olive of my walls I am not keen on changing to their more modern palettes... besides, the new colors don't appeal to me as a wall color. I guess I'll just have to "suffer" through the small flaws until Ikea comes out with a color that I'd be willing to paint my walls. They sure have risen in price since I bought them so let's hope I can still afford them when the time comes.

Hi Valentina, just wondering if you have recommendations for layering shades/blinds and curtains? When to do it and how. I'll be moving in a few months to a new place, which I want to feel like a spa. I'll have white trim, and light grey walls, and I'm trying to figure out if I should have light grey cellular shades (blocks a fair bit of light) and white shear curtains. I love the look of wind sweeping the sheer curtains, but also want the ability to darken the room a bit. Thanks!

Thanks for this video! You mentioned that you are getting an extra set of curtain for a fuller look. My bedroom window is very wide (4metres) so this sounds like a possibility for me to buy 2 sets of curtains! But just wondering if you have to sew them toghether or just putting the 2 joining hooks on one ring? Would that look like one when opened?

The rings are called grommets. Makes it easy to open and close. If you don't want to add rings.

When I saw the black rod, I thought you would definitely choose that one you are certainly black & white designer.

Curtains with grommets are a big no for me. I have the HANNALILL panels throughout my house on curtain rings with clips and they are a great casual look. Definitely need to double them up for fullness though. I have the GJERTRUD sheers behind them and they look great.

How do you double up a curtain? Do you need to sew them toghether to really look like one? I have wide window so if this could work it would really save me from going custom

@@jessieliu1731 yes I just did a quick hand stitch on them so they are easy to separate later if needed. But I don't think you have to if you're careful with how you open and close them

The track rods are okay considering the price. However the little wheels in them get stuck easily. Wich is not a huge problem, they unstuck just as fast, but it does cheapen the experience. And I would also recommend not buying the double track rods because the curtains get stuck in each other (the pleats is wider than the space between the curtains). Instead buy a double set of singles. The wall mounted one you need to install approximately 1 inch down from the ceiling to be able to install it.

Interesting, I have one in my laundry room, the kind that attaches to the ceiling. It spans about 8 or 9 feet and I've been pulling it back and forth for about 13 years with no problems. I wonder if the weight of the curtain has any influence on that? Mine are the heavy Sanela curtains.

What about the SILVERLÖNN? I have a very nosy neighbor that loves to stare and peek through our windows and property, so I was looking for some privacy curtains but that still allowed me to look outside and let light in, and these SILVERLÖNN are the best, they look like they are made of linen too. Since I’ve got them my nosy neighbor doesn’t even try to look inside anymore because she can’t see a thing, GOTCHA!! 🤣🤣🤣
