IKEA VIDGA - MODERN CURTAIN TRACK SYSTEM

[@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 😊

[@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

[@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 ☺️

[@katena7deed52]

I was leaving but I heard how nicely and politely you asked me to subscribe and I immediately did :) Good luck.. Love your content.

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you love ☺️

[@jackiemettler4901]

I didn't know Ikea had that style...so great! Love your vibe!

[@SarahWisted]

IKEA continues to pull through!!

[@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

[@rong111y]

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

[@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!!

[@s.serrano4889]

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

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you love! 🤍

[@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

[@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 ☺️

[@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 😄

[@replace327]

You are right IKEA does not explain how too get certain looks. These look awesome TY! 👍🏾

[@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 🖤

[@InternalAmbition]

Essentially your man did this entire install. He did well.

[@SarahWisted]

Oh yes he’s the one to thank for all physical labor - I married a true gem ☺️

[@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 🖤

[@winged9121]

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

[@SarahWisted]

So glad it was helpful!

[@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!

[@JetSet614]

Wow you’re pregnant and you still doing this! Awesome! 👏🏽

[@SarahWisted]

Awe thank you! Anything for our babies 😅

[@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!!

[@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

[@SarahWisted]

Hahah I feel ya!! IKEA is a commitment

[@dianejohnson7235]

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

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you!! 🙏🏻

[@nadyasayani6213]

Thank you sooo much you made my day. I was looking for curtains installation ideas and you did it ❤️

[@SarahWisted]

So glad I could help ☺️

[@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!!

[@sallyshea2707]

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

[@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 :)

[@kascialelonek8757]

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

[@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

[@roselucht4583]

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

[@SarahWisted]

of course!!

[@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

[@ForeverEclectic]

Wow...these came out great! I just love the minimal look. Looks like your bump has arrived:)🧸🙏

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you!! And yes I was wondering when I would pop 😂

"Screw in the ceiling piece" me - cries in concrete ceiling.

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.

[@SarahWisted]

Good luck 🙏🏻

[@thepursuitofhappiness2126]

We have a wall of doors with windows and used this type of system. Just push the curtains aside to open the doors. Helpful video!

[@SarahWisted]

Love that! And thank you 🖤

[@MsRaynahKamau]

Did your track come with the ceiling brackets? I just purchased 2 tracks but I didn’t see any ceiling bracket.

[@kdash3215]

This really is a lot easier than it seemed. Thanks! I'll be trying it this weekend

[@SarahWisted]

Good luck!

[@kdash3215]

@@SarahWisted Thanks! It was cake. Just an update, the lever piece that screws into the ceiling now comes with the kits. No need to purchase or search.

Of course! 🖤

what's the name of the Ikea ceiling mount brackets for the track rail? I could not find them.

[@SarahWisted]

let's hope!! haha thank you so much :)

[@fiona5841]

Thank you for posting this Sarah, I have the same rails but the connected part doesn't slide smoothly, and a lot of times stops me sliding. Do you have the same problem?

[@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?

[@threetwelves2455]

Hi Sarah, Planning on doing custom measurements as well. If I want the length of the curtain to be perfectly almost touching the floor, but not dragging, how much do you deduct taking into consideration the size of the track railing?

[@SarahWisted]

hmm... I just ordered curtains the size of my ceiling height. I didn't get that precise, but it seemed to work out perfectly

[@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!

[@MillyNunez]

thank you so much for this video I love this look and needed something for my sunroom the windows are very long and had no idea how I was going to get curtains for that room....

[@SarahWisted]

Of course! ☺️

[@photent]

Yours looks great. I like the ceiling hang but I'm not sure how mine would look as my crown moulding is painted white like the ceiling. I noticed you have continued the wall colour into the moulding, it looks great.

[@norahkhang6020]

Do we need to drill into studs at all or use anchor hooks when drilling into ceiling ?

[@SarahWisted]

We did not drill into studs or use an anchor hook 🖤

[@stinehansen191]

Totally getting that!

[@SarahWisted]

You’ll love 🖤

[@humblerawat]

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

[@SarahWisted]

We didn’t!

[@cateivy9747]

Love it! I tried to pleat IKEA curtains with the hooks- yea that didn't go so well!

[@SarahWisted]

Thank you! And yeah it’s a good low cost option but there are definitely better quality curtains out there ☺️

[@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!

[@Nursemomi25]

Can the vigda track be installed on the wall instead of the ceiling? I have an existing curtain rod and I wanted to replace it it vigda like you I wanted to keep it simple and no distraction of the curtain rod. Thank you for sharing

[@SarahWisted]

I believe so! IKEA should have more info on that ☺️

[@samjones6464]

I'm thinking to go with the 3 track for a layered sheer and blockout curtain setup. Is the distance between the two outer tracks far enough so when one of the curtains are pulled, it won't be blocked by the other curtain or it won't pull the other curtain along? The 2 track system with 12cm wall fitting seems to have more space between the two curtains. Keen to know what others experience has been like.

[@SarahWisted]

I’m not sure about the layered curtains as I’ve never actually hung 2 sets at 1 time. If I do decide to, I’ll definitely let you guys know my thoughts ☺️

[@ilianaferreira7935]

Hi, how did you determine the size of the curtain length for it to just touch the floor. Just wondering what your ceiling to floor height is along with the width of the track to acheive that look? Any info is appreciated.

[@jenniferh5174]

Have you had any issues with the weight of the curtains on this track system? I need 108” long curtains, which would be about 11 lbs per panel, so 22 lbs of weight I’m a bit concerned this track system can support it

[@SarahWisted]

Actually yes! I have the 1 track system in my office and you absolutely cannot hang heavy curtains on it or it droops. The 3 track is more sturdy and can hold more weight!

[@jenniferh5174]

Thank you!

[@Sachbolopolkholo]

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

[@SarahWisted]

We did not drill into studs 🖤

[@anhminhnguyen8281]

Hi, thank you for the video! Also, I have a question, would this curtain rods be able to hold heavier curtains?
