  • Many of the Ikea drapes have different hanging options. Each hanging option produces a different look. Join me for a run-down on the Ikea Ritva drape. I will show you 5 different ways you can hang curtains, and how each style looks in your home.
    I blogged about the curtains here: www.delightingintoday.com/2012...

    It's been 6 years since you made this, and I'm SO glad I found it! Just yesterday I saw the RITVA curtains at IKEA, now with a 65" long option (and they're so popular they were out of stock) and your explanations/descriptions have really helped me understand all the possibilities. For you and anyone seeing this, I've also learned about C-rings (just like the rings you used but shaped like a C rather than and O) for hanging drapes when there's a bracket in the middle of the rod. Many thanx!

    Thanks so much! I chose to use the method you used in your bedroom. It actually solved 2 problems for me...how to make my ring clips look better/more formal with my curtains...and how to lift my curtains a little higher to get them off the floor. I'm so happy...my curtains look way better now! Thanks!

    Thanks so much, Jenna. I bought curtains on Overstock and they had a strip along the top of the curtain with a long pocket, strips along the back every 2 inches or so and eyelet holes. Didn't know what all of them were for. Your video was very helpful. Thanks for taking time out to do the video .. for the 920th time.

The wall color in your dining room is the color I chose for my boudoir, lol, and the curtains,fabric and style, are JUST like what I am trying to make! And it gives me a nice visual of how it WILL look, so thank you. And on to your room, with the blk and white curtains THAT is a great idea and THAT is what I will do! Your house if beautiful, too. Thanks, glad I checked out your video!! It was most helpful. Take care.

    @kimberlybellefontaine1215 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thx for all the ideas ! It’s now 2020 (and your kids are now 8 yrs older !) and I’m just now buying the white Ritva curtains. I want them on aaaaaaall of my windows in every room - family room, kitchen, dining room, living room, master bedroom and sitting room, and 3 other bedrooms. That’s a lotta curtains lol but I love them. And these ideas are great because I may now decide to hang the curtains differently in the dining room and living room versus the family room & kitchen & bedrooms. Now I just hope that I can still get my hands on these IKEA white panels ..

    Hi Jenna, Great video, you taught me many tricks. I love to make a pretty home for my family as obviously you do too. You seem like such a lovely, dear young woman. I thought your pronunciation of curtain was incredibly charming and I cannot believe people made such comments. I wish you were my neighbor and we could share a cup of coffee and you could give me decorating ideas. Keep up the great work as a mom and a woman! Post more ideas! Lisa

  • @littlemamabird
    @littlemamabird  11 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    I used 20 pleater hooks on each panel. I honestly can't remember how far apart I spaced them. I did have to cheat a little - skipping four slots on some and three on others. I know that's not extremely helpful, but hope knowing that I used 20 per panel helps a little.

    Very helpful. I hv an older window in a very tight powder room. I want to elongate the window but I barely hv space to put a rod up. Now with the hidden rod method, I can use my ikea clip rings and do a no-sew method and get the fabric that’s been sitting in my closet for nearly a year, finally hung. 👏🏼

  • @KimIversen
    @KimIversen 9 ปีที่แล้ว +25

    btw, another method that I ended up doing was turning the pleater hooks backwards so that I could still use the rod pocket fiber things. No rings yet I still get a deep pleat. The hook part of the pleater hook is hidden in the pleat. Allowed me to hide the pole and still get the very formal look. Thank you!

    Thank you! This was great - the clips had me confused and you helped clarify how they're used. You should take a look at the Kvartal system from IKEA...absolutely amazing...you can hang up to three different depths of drapes on the track system - or create panels to create whole new spaces within a room. I'm using the three part system to hang sheers behind opaque. You'd love the system :)

However, I'm not sure if I need more than 2 panels per window. Can you tell me how wide of an area the panel covers once it is pleated in this way? I plan to use 20 hooks per panel since that is what you said you used. Thanks!
