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 😊
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 !
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.
“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. 🎀
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
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!
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!”
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
Me an my wife went to IKEA just today our house is nearly finished beenin built we are decking our whole house out with theses three rail curtin setups it look fairly easy an definitely cheaper way to go then getting a expert to do it thank heaps!😊
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!
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
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.
This is helpful, I'm looking for a solution for curtains on a condo window wall that isn't straight, the wall cuts into a den but is all glass, no place for a rod but the ceiling is a great solution...who knew?!
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.
WOW! You're going to be great parents. If you can teach 8.8K people how to beautify their windows, you surely can teach your new daughter. Congratulations on your drapes AND your baby!
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?
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 🖤
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! ❤
Wonderful video!!! Thank you so much, I was in IKEA today trying to understand the track system and left with everything but that😫…. But guess what, I’ll be going back tomorrow to purchase, thanks to you 💕💕
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....
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?
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.
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.
My concern is that they will fall and damage the ceiling if the track isn't drilled into a stud. Did you guys have this concern? I need to install curtains this week from the ceiling. Edit: drywall anchors are a thing I just learned about
@@The52blocks I was thinking of that or use a toggle bolt. Anchors will pull out. They might be okay for hanging things on the all but I suspect they will pull out relatively easy when hanging from the ceiling where the force is pulling outward. I especially wouldn't use any gimmick screws in a kid's room. You need something much more durable. Something that can stand up to a kid pulling on the curtains. They will do that.
What is the distance from back wall to front of the window & trim, to know how far from the back wall to hang the track, so that curtains aren’t too close to the trim when closing the curtains? Visually from your video, looks like 4 inches but idk. Thanks!
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?
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?
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
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!
Thank u soooo soooo much..i have been wanting these for 6 years but could not figure it out....but need an curve in them..also where to get curtains...i HAVE TO HAVE BLACK OUT
I don’t know how much weight it holds but I definitely would recommend the 3 track over the 1 track if you want heavier curtains. We have the 1 track in my baby boys room and the curtains are a bit too heavy for it.
Can I ask what curtains you got? And any idea how much weight they can hold? I’d love to have some blackout curtains in one slot and sheer curtains in another
This lady looks just like the teacher from matilda . She gives off the vibe too. I automatically just feel cozy watching her
I love this comment so much 🥺
Ms. Honey 😊

Awe thank you! I’m lucky my husband is very handy ☺️
Women who have a man to do this for them, are truly blessed 💙
Essentially your man did this entire install. He did well.
Oh yes he’s the one to thank for all physical labor - I married a true gem ☺️
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
some kids tend to pull off the curtains for fun, I would probably add an anchor before the screw. overall, it looks beautiful.
I was leaving but I heard how nicely and politely you asked me to subscribe and I immediately did :) Good luck.. Love your content.
Thank you love ☺️
I wish ppl posting their process more about how to find stud and mentioned about potential issues than just beautiful finish all the time
I’m not very technical when it comes to installation, just really like the look/outcome
I didn't know Ikea had that style...so great! Love your vibe!
IKEA continues to pull through!!
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!!! 💛💛
Oh good I’m glad I could help! And thank you ☺️
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!
awe so glad to hear that!!
This video is a lifesaver that should be demo'd on the Ikea website
So glad it was helpful!
Awesome video. What screws did you use for the ceiling bracket? Thank you.
Looks so professional and beautiful. May you have a healthy baby girl.
Thank you love! 🤍
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
Hahah I feel ya!! IKEA is a commitment
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!”
hahaha so true!
Wow you’re pregnant and you still doing this! Awesome! 👏🏽
Awe thank you! Anything for our babies 😅

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!
Awe thank you love! So glad to provide any sort of help :)
Very explanatory! I was looking forward to the swoosh of closing the curtains though 😄
I love your curtains! Your baby's nursery is going to be adorable!
Thank you!! 🙏🏻
You are right IKEA does not explain how too get certain looks. These look awesome TY! 👍🏾
This looks easy to install, the track and curtains looks very nice, thanks for sharing this with us.👍
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed 🖤
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
That will look so good!!
Wondering how the simple screws attached to the ceiling could be able to hold the weight..
Hopefully they used some substantial ceiling plugs designed for non cantilever force
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.
@@FuManchu5ltr but the curtains need to be next to the wall and window,
what if there is not a joist there?
Just use a wall anchor and you will be fine!
This is helpful, I'm looking for a solution for curtains on a condo window wall that isn't straight, the wall cuts into a den but is all glass, no place for a rod but the ceiling is a great solution...who knew?!

Thank you for this video! I also absolutely love the simplicity of of curtain tracks aswell
Of course!! IKEA making our minimal dreams come true 😅
💯
Thank you sooo much you made my day. I was looking for curtains installation ideas and you did it ❤️
So glad I could help ☺️
Congratulations on your baby! Great video!
Wow...these came out great! I just love the minimal look. Looks like your bump has arrived:)🧸🙏
Thank you!! And yes I was wondering when I would pop 😂
WOW! You're going to be great parents. If you can teach 8.8K people how to beautify their windows, you surely can teach your new daughter. Congratulations on your drapes AND your baby!
let's hope!! haha thank you so much :)
Thank you for sharing wonderful video, one of the best videos in youtube
Thank you! So glad it was helpful!
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!
Love that! And thank you 🖤
Great video showing step by step installation. Thank you
🖤🖤
Ohh thank you for sharing I LOVE this!! I hope they sell curtains that from floor to ceiling too!
of course!!
It looks like they don't sell the ceiling plate/parts anymore. I bought this and no ceiling parts.
Thanks for sharing this. I was looking for how to DIY modern waterfall curtain awhile. This is helpful.
So glad it helped!

Hi there😀
That is just the look I was planning in my lounge ! Full length drapes ! Thanks for your clear demo ,
Krissy ❤️ UK
Thanks for watching ☺️
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! ❤
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
Very clearly explained and helpful! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful ☺️
Easiest Explanation!! Taking on this project!! :D
This app is very helpful ! Thanks very much 🙏🏼 good luck for everything .
Thank you so much for explaining how this system works. Much appreciated.
Thank you very much for taking time and showing this. 🤩
Of course! 🖤
Wonderful video!!! Thank you so much, I was in IKEA today trying to understand the track system and left with everything but that😫…. But guess what, I’ll be going back tomorrow to purchase, thanks to you 💕💕
Did your track come with the ceiling brackets? I just purchased 2 tracks but I didn’t see any ceiling bracket.
This is a great video. I subscribed. Very clear directions and you have great taste!
Very pretty. Thank you for the tutorial! 🫶🏼
Of course love! 🤍
Thank you so much!!!! Needed this for my loft!
🖤🖤
"Screw in the ceiling piece"
me - cries in concrete ceiling.
Concrete screws (blue screws)
Thats actually better in my opinion 👌🏾 lol
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....
Of course! ☺️
what's the name of the Ikea ceiling mount brackets for the track rail? I could not find them.
Absolutely love love love your house videos. This is going to save me so much money!
yay! so glad to hear that!
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?
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 :)
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.
🤍🤍
This was so easy it’s scary 🤣 Great video!
Thank you love! 🖤
I appreciate it. Exactly what I was looking for. 👌
can you show the name of that top lever that you buy separately?
very nice curtain rods and beautiful
this was a very helpful and informational video!
Oh good, so glad I could help!
Your eyebrows look amazing!!!
Thank you!!
I'm glad I saw this before I started this lil project. This is a job for Task Rabbit not me lol
If you check the website it does have a vigda planner
🖤🖤
I love those curtains.
Thank you!
Thank you for this tutorial.
🖤🖤
thank you so much for this!!
Of course!!
Love it! I tried to pleat IKEA curtains with the hooks- yea that didn't go so well!
Thank you! And yeah it’s a good low cost option but there are definitely better quality curtains out there ☺️
thanks! great video. all the best!
🖤🖤
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.
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!
My concern is that they will fall and damage the ceiling if the track isn't drilled into a stud. Did you guys have this concern? I need to install curtains this week from the ceiling.
Edit: drywall anchors are a thing I just learned about
There are special screws with a variety of gimmicks designed to hold heavy loads without the need of studs. Look up anchor screws.
@@monomills9587 thank you
Anchor screws won’t work if the curtains are even the slightest bit heavy. You’ll need to find the joist.
@@The52blocks I was thinking of that or use a toggle bolt. Anchors will pull out.

Where is the list to get the items?
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?
hmm... I just ordered curtains the size of my ceiling height. I didn't get that precise, but it seemed to work out perfectly
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?
Thank you for this video!!
🤍🤍
Looks Beautiful!
thanks
🤍
Just curious about using the track furthest from the window and whether it might make the track less obvious ?
Not sure I tell you next week
Thank you so much for sharing
🖤
Thank you for this informative video. subscribed.
🖤🖤
Do u have to use special screws for the ceiling?
We used drywall screws 🖤
Thanks for this video! Does Ikea include the wall mounting hardware? If not, is it only the VIDGA wall bracket that's needed to be bought separately?
Hello, thank you for showing me this technique. I love the end result. Do you think this would still work on popcorn ceilings?
Hmm I don’t see why not! I’m not a contractor though, so not entirely sure!
Nice work...Thanks
🤍🤍
I like this idea, but FYI, that's a hack saw.
I'm assuming you counted the number of curtain hooks you needed before final install or did you just leave the excess at the end?
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
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!
Thank you!
Hi! Do you have to have like steel on the ceiling to be able to attach the curtain?
Great vid! Thank you 👍🏻
Glad it could help!
Thank u soooo soooo much..i have been wanting these for 6 years but could not figure it out....but need an curve in them..also where to get curtains...i HAVE TO HAVE BLACK OUT
Do we need to drill into studs at all or use anchor hooks when drilling into ceiling ?
We did not drill into studs or use an anchor hook 🖤
Does this curtain track hold the weight of velvet(velcro) curtains?? Do you know much much weight does this hold?
I don’t know how much weight it holds but I definitely would recommend the 3 track over the 1 track if you want heavier curtains. We have the 1 track in my baby boys room and the curtains are a bit too heavy for it.
Can I ask what curtains you got? And any idea how much weight they can hold? I’d love to have some blackout curtains in one slot and sheer curtains in another
The custom curtains you ordered off of Amazon where they the exact length you needed or did you have to hem them?
