Reviews

Perfect easy shade!AdrienneGreat for any size window! We have a large long window with a window air conditioner - this was perfect to still bring in some light but provide privacy - and can't beat the price.5
BlindsClaireWill not stay stuck to wall and are very difficult to cut to size. Has potential but those two problems resulted in a return for me. 2
Best inexpensive blackout blind!LaineEasy to cut, measure and install.5
Great value easy to useChuckThese are great for the price and ease of use. Would like more sizes & more colors5
Cheap for a reasonJamieDon’t waste your money. Awful.1
Works well GloriaWorks well for temporary coverage of windows. Much better than paper ones from Home Depot.4
Loved themStephanieThey are very practical and easy to install.5
Great for what it is!HollyUnderstand what you are getting when you buy this. That is, for $6, you are getting a coated paper blind that attaches via sticky tape, folds up via plastic clips, and stays down via hook & loop. It is very good at blocking the light and looks pretty nice really. I had no trouble trimming a bit and installing it. It goes up and down pretty easily, though being coated paper, probably wouldn't stand up well to daily use. We have it in an office/guest room, so it will only see use a handful of times a year. Definitely an excellent value as long as you understand what it is and do not need consistent use. You will never find something this effective for cheaper.5
Great fabric blind!FrancesThis fabric blind is great when moving into a new place. It is so useful when you dont have time to buy a "real" blind. Or are not sure what type of window treatment you want permanantly yet.5
Love SchottisUrsula SSchottische work perfectly in my house. They provide privacy, yet allow lots of light. 5
No way to raise shadesPauletteThe shades work as described but what I just found out, once I'd mounted one in my window, with the glue strips, was that there's no way for them to be raised. They're sort of an accordion that bounce around on the window. The closing device is a strip of velcro, one on the shade, one on the window sill. If you ever want to clean your window sill, that velcro will get dirty. Also, the little handles for maneuvering the shade do not, I repeat, do not stay on the shade. My shades have been in place less than 5 minutes and already I'm afraid for them. You get what you pay for, I guess, but you'd think Ikea would include some sort of clip to hold them open or a set of ties to do so. I optimistically bought 6 shades thinking they were attractive and perfect, simple in design. 5 are going back to the store. 2
My FAVORITE screens!!!! I amGaleMy FAVORITE screens!!!! I am renting and have used these in many rooms with ease. I turned an office space with nothing but glass doors into a bedroom space with one of IKEA'S portable closets. No glue to scrape off the window and these really look classy!5
good price but use super glueLeslyThe installation was super easy, just peel and stick after cleaning your window. Only issue I had was the sticker adhesive would not stick so I decided to super glue it. I was able to get it to stock by simply using a couple "super glue dots." The clips do not hold all the pleats if you want to raise it all the way. so I guess I'll also be using bag clips like the reviews suggest. overall, for the price, it does the job of blocking out the light during nap time. 3
Perfect for blocking summer heat and sun.FloraMuch better quality than what I have previously purchased at big box store.5
shade was easy to install and at a good price.MaryThis was a replacement shade for one I bought 5 years ago. Served it's purpose. Easy to install and inexpensive.5
Amazing style and valueKimberlyI bought two of these for temporary window coverings as we remodel our home. They look amazing! We had a wider window, so I put two on the same window. Since we had just painted I used Command Strips to attach them. I'll probably get a few more. LOVE them!5
Love themBeatrizI am replacing the ones I have had for 5 years already thou perfect in shape, only may be a bit dusty, because we are painting and renewing the rooms We are able to adjust width exactly to the windows size5
Love these...so easy and efficientMelissaWe have these in almost all our small windows. They work great for windows you want privacy while also letting light in. Great super affordable alternative if you don't want to deal with installation for hard core blinds. I just wish Ikea sold replacement clips because sometimes they get worn out. Luckily we found someone who makes them on ebay. Overall great product and I hope they never discontinue them. 5
Nice PatriciaEasy installation I little expensive for IKEA products 5
Great for Temporary BlindsWilEasy to cut and install. However very fragile. One bottom is held down with Velcro don’t expect to move because it will tear. Also, clips to hold blinds aren’t effective. 4

Our take on polyester

Polyester is a durable, wrinkle-resistant and easy-care material that is ideal for many home furnishing products like rugs, pillows, quilts and cushions. The downside to virgin polyester is that it is made from oil, coal or natural gas. This means that when we use virgin polyester, we are exhausting the planet’s natural resources. Our response to this, is to replace all virgin polyester with recycled in our products. In 2020, we achieved the milestone of replacing 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products and will accelerate the transformation towards the aim of only using recycled polyester throughout the product range where polyester is used.

Virgin vs recycled polyester

Originally, all polyester was made from oil-based raw materials which are not renewable but we are switching to only using recycled polyester. The good thing is that polyester can be recycled over and over, without negatively affecting the quality of our products. When we make products from recycled polyester, we give a second life to material that is not biodegradable and reduce the amount that may otherwise end up in landfill or the ocean. Instead, PET and other sources of polyester are used to make textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts and even lamps. Recycled polyester is just as good as virgin polyester in terms of looks, quality and function, and produces about 50% less in CO2 emissions. And the material is just as clean and safe in every way.

Some challenges with recycled polyester

Recycled polyester makes us less dependent on oil. The amount we convert, is equal to the amount of virgin fossil fuel we eliminate from our polyester raw material (this excludes potential dyeing and other post recycled polyester production treatments). With some exceptions, the challenge is not the conversion of polyester into recycled itself, but to make it available to everyone by keeping it affordable. Buying low environmental impact products often comes with a higher price tag. We want to change that by working to make recycled polyester products more affordable and accessible to the many people.

Only recycled polyester

IKEA is committed to end the dependency on virgin fossil materials and only use renewable or recycled materials by 2030. We are accelerating this movement for polyester in our range and aim to replace all virgin polyester in our textile products with recycled. In 2020, IKEA replaced 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products with recycled polyester. In volume, this means we converted 130,000 metric tonnes of recycled polyester, and saved 200,000 tonnes of virign polyester. We haven’t reached our 100% goal yet, but we have come far and overcome many obstacles on the way. These volumes make us a leader in converting to recycled polyester and we hope that our decisions can inspire and motivate whole industries to change.

Responsible sourcing

At IKEA, we demand that all recycled polyester used in IKEA products shall come from recyclers that are compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and traceability is secured to the IKEA product through requirements toward the IKEA Suppliers. By only using recycled polyester that meets the Global Recycled Standards we manage to secure social, environmental and chemical practices at the recycler’s production. We believe that the GRS standard is the best standard on the market today. We work with our partners and textile organisations such as Textile Exchange to further improve standards on recycled materials, including traceability of material beyond the recycling units.

Material

What is recycled polyester?

When we create products from recycled polyester, PET bottles, and other sources, they get a new life in products like textiles, storage boxes, kitchen fronts, and even lamps. When using them, you get to enjoy exactly the same quality and function as with virgin polyester products. And naturally, they’re just as clean and safe in every way. And perhaps the very best part – you contribute to using less new raw materials too.

Function solution

Block-out fabric

The block-out fabric effectively blocks out all light. Perfect for people who are sensitive to light during sleep, anytime of the day. It prevents glare on TV’s and digital screens. It offers complete privacy at all hours since people outside cannot see in, even when the room is lit.
