IKEA VIDGA - MODERN CURTAIN TRACK SYSTEM

[@justme-dw9oj]

This system is very similar to what we had in Germany years ago from childhood and Im 74 now. Love it as no dust can collect on top of curtains and no rods to dust as well! There was also a piece to cover the track !

[@SarahWisted]

Love that!!

[@margaretWestminster]

Thank you, you did a wonderful job ❤

[@dotwillcoxson5352]

Our house in Australia has these tracks. It was built over 40 years ago by a Dutchman who had moved to Australia. I still have the curtains that were made in Holland at the same time.

[@katelinnorman5800]

Thankyou for explaining / showing how it all fits together. I was looking at them initially, but i didn't realize you could just line them up if they weren't long enough

[@joycerobinson1671]

This lady looks just like the teacher from matilda . She gives off the vibe too. I automatically just feel cozy watching her

[@SarahWisted]

I love this comment so much 🥺

[@niknik1078]

Ms. Honey 😊

[@lisaduffy5853]

I got really confused then & thought why would you say that she looks nothing like Miss Trunchbull but then I realised you meant the lovely Miss Honey 🤦 I agree with your comment 😊

IKEA continues to pull through!!

[@veram8547]

“We are not professionals by any means.” I don’t know about that you both do a perfect job on every project. Thanks for sharing. Love the linen pink curtains. 🎀

[@SarahWisted]

Awe thank you! I’m lucky my husband is very handy ☺️

[@anibabaa]

Awesome video. What screws did you use for the ceiling bracket? Thank you.

[@betterhoodproperties]

thank you for the thorough explanation. I'm looking at the Ikea site now and there is minimal explanations on what is needed for what I was wanting to know

[@s.serrano4889]

Looks so professional and beautiful. May you have a healthy baby girl.

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you love! 🤍

[@TatianaPritchard]

This is exactly what I need!!! I can’t believe I didn’t know ikea had this!! Love your channel babe!! And congrats on your little peanut!!! 💛💛

[@SarahWisted]

Oh good I’m glad I could help! And thank you ☺️

[@rong111y]

some kids tend to pull off the curtains for fun, I would probably add an anchor before the screw. overall, it looks beautiful.

[@sandrinedandrea4922]

Thank you. This was a great video and very helpful. I am in need of ideas about how to fit curtains on a very long wall (over 16 feet) and came across your video. I will go back to Ikea today! Thanks again.

[@SarahWisted]

Good luck!!

[@toyaevette3155]

Best video I’ve seen! I love the hotel look and I’m definitely the person that 2 hand slides the curtains open wide like “bam!” in the hotel room 😂. “GOOD MORNING NEIGHBORS!”

[@SarahWisted]

hahaha so true!

[@kawikakolomonakamakeeaina8466]

Thank you so much for this video, the best one I've found explaining how to install the Vidga track system. We are also ordering white blackout velvet curtains from ChadMade. Wouldn't have found them without you. I am curious though as to why you went with a three-track system, but only installed a single layer of curtains. Am I missing something here? Would it be okay to go with the single track system?

[@SarahWisted]

Of course! And I originally planned to do a layer of sheer curtains but I ended up ditching that idea and going with roller shades underneath. I could have use just the single track 🖤

[@lilchubbie]

I just found your channel today, and I truly appreciate all of your videos Sarah. They are super amazing and I have learned a lot from you. Thank you so much my Dear!

[@SarahWisted]

Awe thank you love! So glad to provide any sort of help :)

[@melissacallia4230]

Very explanatory! I was looking forward to the swoosh of closing the curtains though 😄

[@marieheisler7357]

Thanks for your video! Question… is your ceiling sloped at all, or will this system work on a sloped ceiling? And how many slider hooks should we get for one track system? Thanks again! ❤

[@SarahWisted]

It’s not sloped! I don’t know if the curtains would stay in place on a slope, but that probably depends on how steep the slope is

[@kd4965]

I wish ppl posting their process more about how to find stud and mentioned about potential issues than just beautiful finish all the time

[@SarahWisted]

I’m not very technical when it comes to installation, just really like the look/outcome

[@harmonics2012]

Great post, this was the first video on track curtains and I will go out and purchase the Ikea store, Keep up the great post :)

[@roselucht4583]

Ohh thank you for sharing I LOVE this!! I hope they sell curtains that from floor to ceiling too!

[@SarahWisted]

of course!!

[@jennifertharp659]

Thank you so much! I have been looking for a tutorial to show me how to hang these tracks and, thanks to your clear instructions, I can finally finish this project. I am so excited! Yay!

[@SarahWisted]

awe so glad to hear that!!

[@vvalencia6759]

Congratulations on your baby! Great video!

[@carolinecreason7145]

I don’t know how you stayed so calm during this project hahaha I absolutely do not recommend doing this- hire someone 🤣🤣 thank goodness for this video

[@sallyshea2707]

Lovely and well done. First Baby? Babies will tug at anything they can reach and the months fly by!

[@dianejohnson7235]

I love your curtains! Your baby's nursery is going to be adorable!

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@anthonybarr2549]

Such a cute couple! I have 6 large windows in my living room so this is gonna work perfect! As multiple curtain rods look tacky to me. Especially in an all white living room

[@SarahWisted]

That will look so good!!

[@HarryDunlopClark]

I absolutely adore it. Looks so smart. One thing I would ask is if the wall between the two windows would look better covered? Having it as it is now, the track may as well not go across the whole wall, no?

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

Thank you for this video! I also absolutely love the simplicity of of curtain tracks aswell

[@SarahWisted]

Of course!! IKEA making our minimal dreams come true 😅

[@JamiSwanBeauty]

💯

[@kascialelonek8757]

This is a great video. I subscribed. Very clear directions and you have great taste!

[@nataliemalpas8797]

These are really nice, thanks for the vid. I just wish ikea would have these in stock

[@SarahWisted]

I know! IKEAs stock challenges are really killing us 🙈

[@kristinm905]

I was waiting for IKEA to have them in stock as well… But ended up just ordering them off eBay… I was able to order a track and then a second check that was a custom size so that I could fill the whole wall

[@humblerawat]

Thanks this was helpful. Did you not hook the screws to stud in the ceiling ?

[@SarahWisted]

We didn’t!

[@winged9121]

This video is a lifesaver that should be demo'd on the Ikea website

[@SarahWisted]

So glad it was helpful!

[@dinh5532]

Looks great, curious as to why you went with the triple track?

[@SarahWisted]

We had originally wanted to have 2 layers - 1 sheer and 1 blackout, but ended up with just 1 layer 🤍

[@dinh5532]

@@SarahWisted Thank you! I just got the triple track one, hopefully it works out for me!

[@janettejones5030]

This is a great video. I just wish I could find a similar video on the vidga but with the panels it is sold to go with (not curtains). I am trying to figure out how to properly hang the panels.

[@ninaknizner5137]

can you show the name of that top lever that you buy separately?

[@joannesmith7744]

Nice look. That is a double rod then? Can hang 2 layers? Have a super sunny room with a view so wanted a sheer layer to not be blinded by and heavier one for sleeping..

[@johngirard8554]

This looks easy to install, the track and curtains looks very nice, thanks for sharing this with us.👍

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🖤

[@rakkileigh]

Love this! Exactly what I am looking for! THank you! What did you use to connect to the two to go all the way across the room? I can't find that piece on IKEA.

[@SarahWisted]

It comes in one of the hardware packs - I believe it’s in the VIDGA pack but may be the ceiling bracket pack, not sure!

[@klscott23]

Thank you for making this video. My wife and I are headed to IKEA today. I hope to cut off all the sunlight and street light from our bedroom to get a better nights rest and possibly to sleep in late on occasion.

[@tarahighlands2540]

Hi Sarah I ordered exactly what you ordered even the curtains Everything has finally arrived and now the fun part if assembly Im a little confused how you gut the plastic pieces into the curtains abs than secured to the track ????

[@SarahWisted]

There’s an end piece on the curtain track - you don’t put the end piece on until you put the gliders on the track 🖤

[@janetang8684]

This app is very helpful ! Thanks very much 🙏🏼 good luck for everything .

[@henrysg-iPhone14]

Wondering how the simple screws attached to the ceiling could be able to hold the weight..

[@alcurtis93]

Hopefully they used some substantial ceiling plugs designed for non cantilever force

[@FuManchu5ltr]

You first find the ceiling joists with a stud finder. Mark the joist locations, drill the holes with a small pilot hole bit. The screws go into those. The ceiling itself can not be load bearing.

[@Rockysbeats]

@@FuManchu5ltr but the curtains need to be next to the wall and window, what if there is not a joist there?

[@gordonm6128]

Just use a wall anchor and you will be fine!

[@JJKMILLIONDOL]

thank you so much for this!!

[@SarahWisted]

Of course!!

[@july713x3]

It looks like they don't sell the ceiling plate/parts anymore. I bought this and no ceiling parts.

[@janiestill2230]

Looks great! Why did you choose the 3track for the nursery?

[@SarahWisted]

I thought I wanted to do one track of sheers under the blackout - so bought the three track, but decided against it last minute

Can we drill holes anywhere in the ceiling or we need to find the studs first??

[@SarahWisted]

We did not drill into studs 🖤

[@pameladenise7074]

I so appreciate your video bc I am really considering buying those but wasn’t sure how to install so again thank you & the hubby. One question I see there are 3 rows where the hooks go so you know if you can layer the curtains

[@SarahWisted]

Yes, the 3 track you can layer up to 3 curtains or so I understand it

[@SGF1234]

Also, did you screw the ceiling fitting into a stud or just into drywall?

[@jeffreypill]

Good question, I was thinking the same.

[@SarahWisted]

Into the drywall!

Are there only two ceiling pieces? No reinforcements in the middle?

There are ceiling pieces on each end of each track piece. You only need 1 ceiling piece between each track. I have 3 track pieces, so there are 4 total ceiling pieces
