Your curtains look so high-end and beautiful, Baiyina. You demonstrated how to get the French pleats so well that I think I could even do it. Thank you for all of the super educational design videos.
I really loved this tutorial. I feel that I can competently replicate what you showed us. Thank you so much! Yes, I need to change my bedroom curtains.
Just built a new house with soooo many windows. You saved me thousands of dollars. Just had the drapery company come out and give me a bid. 5 windows came to $5000 and those were just our necessary windows so neighbors couldn’t see in. I was trying to figure out what I was going to do. You saved me. My husband says thank you, too! So glad I came across your site. You give incredibly helpful advice.
Thanks for this! This is the clearest and most efficient version of this tutorial that I've seen so far. Someone else also suggested to open up the little loops with toothpicks which I really like. I also chalked every five loops beforehand so that it was easy for me to find them rather than counting constantly as I went along while feeling uncertain that I was getting the right loop.
random: In one of your other videos you showed curtains that ended in a knot. I tried it for some new curtains I purchased for my bedroom, and I love how it looks. I'm no interior decorator, but I do feel a bit fancy when I look at the knots. Thank you for all your design ideas and examples!
I bet she could easily do that! In my camper I redid the curtains, and the fabric I bought was so white it had a blue-ish undertone that I didn’t like. I soaked the fabric in coffee for a couple minutes and they turned the perfect neutral/warm shade of white! I then washed the fabric and they’ve help up well for over 3 years now
@@zanesutherland406 I used tea bags to dye two Ikea black/white pillow covers; they came out an awsome tan-ish color, which has held up for a few years now.
Thank you for demonstrating how to do this. I had watched another RUclipsr’s video last year but I couldn’t remember who she was. At least with you I will remember you gave a demonstration.
Thank youuuu !!!!!! You previously had done a poll on which video to do next. PLEASE DO how to pick a perfect sofa !!!!! Im about to get new sofa & chairs!!!! You explain things so well !!! i’m totally clueless, i don’t even have anything on my walls, bc i can’t ever just pick a style or understand how to even style lolll anyways💛 see you on the next one !!!!
OMG... I did Not know how to do the pleating with the pleating hooks. Baiyina, you're the bomb! I just learnt something new and I'm so pleased! Amazing you! Thank you.
Such a lovely look! I love shears in a bedroom. Random thought - would you consider dying your panels lavender? The white looks great but I am just imagining the look of your room in the way you first envisioned it.
THE LINEN LOOK EXPENSIVE, THE WINDOWS LOOK PROFESSIONALLY TREATED, I LOVE HOW THE SOFT WHITE PANELS LOOK AT THE WINDOWS, GREAT VIDEO, FABULOUS INFORMATION, THANK YOU. 🫖
Bayina you look FANTASTIC! Haven't seen one of your videos in a couple of years, got away from decorating. I'm guessing a keto diet? Whatever it is, it's working. TY for showing me how this is done. I've seen these hooks on the old formal curtains and wondered how it worked. You could also put roll-down shades on the windows. That room will be hot if it's south or west-facing, you may need to consider outside awnings. Lovely room, I'd fill it with plants if it's big enough.
Looks great! And what a good tutorial. So I did the same thing/look with these curtains for my bedroom, but I actually hand sewed a little pleat on the front, between each tab. Then I just hung them up by the tabs on the back. Not too difficult, and they look great. The only drawback is that I can't open them wide enough to fully cover my window - so it's more for looks lol! But honestly I think would do the pleater hooks next time!
I love how this looks! This is the look I was attempting to go for in my living room, but it looks sloppy because I don’t have the pleats in. I’m definitely getting my pleat game on!
Wow so happy I found this video. You explained and demonstrated everything so easily. I will be doing this in my living room and French patio doors. Thanks
This is one of the most helpful home design tutorials I’ve seen! I’m so excited to try this in my home and am now rethinking all my curtain choices 😂. Thank you!!
They look wonderful! Great tutorial too. Thanks! I'm all curtained out after having just hung shears in my family room...but have saved this video for future reference.
I really prefer the look of pleated draperies too. For black out, pull down shades might be a good option for a bedroom instead of curtains especially if you have several smaller windows as opposed to one big picture window. They even sell DIY kits or you can find instructions online.
Agree. Honestly, I got those Redi-Shade pleated honeycomb paper shades that you cut to fit and glue to your window frame, and they work amazingly well.
Great video, so well demonstrated, I want to put these curtains in living room, but not sure this light fabric will work. I m looking forward to seeing what you come up with in yours.
Looks great i didn't realize that ikea drapes had the French plete tape on them. I remember my grandmother using the tape all the time on her drapes and having to put the metal parts in them.
Well done video with great results. In regards to adding blackout fabric: Sew it at the top-below the area where you add the pleaters? Additionally, does the blackout fabric show through the front of these a bit gauzy curtains?
So very helpful. Thank you. Excellent video. Also learned I gotta wash them first in warm water as they shrink about an inch. I want them just above the floor hubby doesn’t like the pooling look lol!
Hi, I am definitely love this, looks amazing and your explanation was spot on, thank you!!! One quick question, if I just wanted a double pleat, where would I insert the hooks? Thanks again
I remember pleater hooks from the 1960s. What goes around comes around. To achieve blackout for sleeping, without spoiling the breezy look of the drapes, install blackout shades. Since your drapery rods are installed nice and high above the window frames, there's plenty of room to outside mount the shades just above the frames or just under the rods. When rolled up during the day, they'll be very unobtrusive.
We did this too in our house in Florida three years ago. As our ceilings are quite high and I wanted the drapes to go floor to ceiling, the length of the curtains they sell at IKEA USA wasn’t going to work (98 inches). Luckily I was living between Florida and Switzerland and so I ended up buying 26 pairs of Aina curtains at IKEA in Geneva as they are 300 cm or 118 inches. So we had to distribute curtains to all our family members and get them to bring them over in their suitcases when they visited us from Europe. My husband is a wiz on the sewing machine so he triple pleated all the curtains and sewed them together to fit our various window sizes, from triple sliders to single windows and everything in between. They look spectacular! Everyone gasps when they see what we did. It was a LOT of work, but it saved us literally ten thousand dollars (that was the quote we got from a local decorator for drapes that don’t even close). So I highly recommend this Ikea hack for sensational looking windows.
Stunning! At this price-point you got a luxe look that is both clean and dreamy. I've placed them in my Ikea cart because I'm tired of the the heavy canvas drapes I've been using. Thanks!
Thank you for your ideas! I remember once a month helping my mother put her drapes back up after laundering them. Ritz has a new dye that works on all kinds of fabrics using heated water. Maybe you could dye your curtains?
I thought about that but I’m so picky and minimalist so I need it to be exact and I just don’t think I will be able to achieve the exact hue I want so for me these are good enough now for this space
Thank you for sharing this with the exact products used and quantity required, which makes it so easy to follow. So for blackout effect, I stumbled across Tatiana Pritchard’s video where she showed how she used the blackout liners from Amazon to make her ikea curtains blackout sew-free!
Your curtains look beautiful! You did a great job on those! Your apartment is looking so pretty and stylish ~ I can't wait to see what you do next! Love your videos!!! 💕
I have had these curtains for years, currently stored in a box, and never had any idea what all the pockets on the backside were for. This video is so inspiring, I am definitely going to give this a try!
funny... I just came across this video after buying the RITVA curtains yesterday! so happy that got them in a 118" lenght! great product from IKEA and very good tip to hang them, thanks!
I remember years ago, making curtains with pleater hooks. But I kind of remember them being pointed and you stabbed them through the fabric and there was a lot of measuring to be done! The IKEA curtains make that process much easier. It's a great look, but my husband does not like curtains or drapes. We live in a very wooded area and our house is on a hillside, so all the windows are high up. Privacy isn't an issue, so it doesn't bother me too much. The only room with curtains is the guest room because I think other people might not feel the same. I do think they add a bit of softness to the room. And 14 windows in a 1-bedroom apartment - crazy!
Lol, I graduated from a top Design Intelligence-ranked commercial interior design school and I didn't know that 5/8" was the next size up off the top of my head either. I love the lavender linen idea too but your alternative is a fantastic idea. Good job.
Hello Baiyina thank you for this lesson, and for your channel. I am a senior who has always struggled with drapery. I can't wait to try this technique. Already have the steamer ready. I agree with you about having a more weighty/substantial curtain for the living room. Especially with a velvet sofa. I am looking for an extra long navy blue velvet sofa. Taking your advice about taking my time to choose one. Great job!
Great video! Thanks for sharing the instructions for using the pleater tape and hooks! I have some new dining room drapes on the way, and I’m worried they might look too casual if I just use the rod tabs on the back.
Everything comes back around, as a young kid in the '70s we had custom drapes not only on those hooks but the drapes opened/closed on a track n you just opened a whole bay at one time w this pulley system. It was quick until it jammed. I hated the formal look as a kid, but I surprisingly like it now. 😇
How cool! We were about to buy custom curtains but came across the 118” length ritva at ikea! My husband actually chose the ritva curtains. I was super impressed lol maybe one day I might try this prong trick!
Wow, looks great. I would definitely like to try this in my bedroom. We have one large window we need to cover. Thanks for teaching us and all of the reasoning behind it. It turned out beautiful in your bedroom!!
This video alone made me subscribe! Been wanting this exact look for my own bedroom. I’m in Dallas, myself and if I ever run into you at Starbucks you’re getting the biggest hug from me!Well, elbow bump maybe, because COVID. Anyway THANK YOU! Can’t wait to run up to IKEA and do this!
would you hang this on a double rod with another panel beneath so as to pull the lower panel when you want privacy? Your video is really done well and easy to follow, looks so nice! Thank you. Hope you answer my question, :) TIA
You’re SO helpful! We’re decorating my daughter’s new apartment, and you give the greatest tips for a beautiful space on a budget. Full disclosure, I’m going to use these in my own house!
Another great video Baiyina ! Very informative . They look so expensive. Love the light and airy feel it gives to your bedroom . And boy do I love your bed ! ❤
The curtains look fantastic for such a good price! I have 2 big windows and french door in the master bedroom and don't know what to do. I like looking through the window, but we obviously need privacy. My friend suggested to just have plantation shutters without curtains; but I feel like the room would not look cozy. Also, since we have french doors in the bedroom ( 2nd floor of the house) - that open on one side only ( not in the center like traditional french door), I don't know if putting plantation shutters on them would be a good idea. I know some designers don't like the look of plantations shutters at all, especially in the bedrooms. I think that we need curtains on the side like you have and some sort of blinds in the middle of the window for privacy. What are your thoughts on combining curtains and shutters?
I don’t like shutters. And that will fight with the window pane style of the French doors. You can do cordless Roman shades on French doors which will allow you to have coverage at night and leave them open during the day. Repeat the same Roman shades on windows in bedroom for continuity, then do a rod with drapes over windows or one long rod on window /French door wall with curtain panels at windows
You do have a lot of windows! I have 13 windows in a 3 bedroom house. I love IKEA panels. You really can do a lot with them and save a ton. I needed 12 panels for the windows and my den and, after seeing the ridiculous pricing of drapes at other retailers, I scored well at IKEA!
I love inverted pleat look. Can't afford. I like the back tab look. They pins make width of curtain so much smaller. How wide are the curtains? Must agree they look very nice.
I did something similar to get pleated curtains to hang on a track. I sewed on the pleater tape from Ikea and used pleater hooks to create single pleats. It was sooo frustrating because I could not find any good good tutorials for what I was doing. But it turned out great, it looks so custom to my home! Worth the effort to get exactly what I wanted!
You could also add weights to the hem. That helps them hang nicely and ups the professional look in my opinion.
I've not seen pleater hooks before, I like this look a lot.
Okay but can we please talk about that headboard? Beautiful!
When i was little, my Mom had pleater hooks. I did not fully appreciate them back then.... But now, totally into them! Thx again for this video:)

I also chalked every five loops beforehand so that it was easy for me to find them rather than counting constantly as I went along while feeling uncertain that I was getting the right loop.

Ooh, can you post the link to that video here, please. Ty 😀
I have watched several other tutorials showing how to use the pleated clips; yours is by far the best!
Thank you!! Glad it helped 🙏🏽
Btw I would try experimenting dying those in that pink tone that you want.

Omg I just bought these but the 110 in (I have 10 ft ceilings) I'm going to try the pleat hangers for a more polished look.
I am envious of all your windows! The drapes make a huge difference. I learned something new today, so, thanks.
Drapery looks amazing! Nice tutorial too, thanks for showing how to elevate!
I struggle so much with curtains. This video is so helpful, and I'm definitely doing this. Thank you!
Love that your ideas are budget friendly for the average person
Such a lovely look! I love shears in a bedroom. Random thought - would you consider dying your panels lavender? The white looks great but I am just imagining the look of your room in the way you first envisioned it.
This is by far the best tutorial on this. The long ikea curtains have more than doubled in price, but still a good deal !
Beautiful! I’m wondering if you could dilute a lavender rit dye to achieve the lavender pleated look?!!!!
Great tutorial? Thanks. Are the IKEA curtains, washable and dyeable? I need lots of pink colored panels.
I have been looking for curtains and haven't found anything I love that isnt super expensive!! Perfect timing
You're a great teacher! Thank you for being real and not over produced
THE LINEN LOOK EXPENSIVE, THE WINDOWS LOOK PROFESSIONALLY TREATED, I LOVE HOW THE SOFT WHITE PANELS LOOK AT THE WINDOWS, GREAT VIDEO, FABULOUS INFORMATION, THANK YOU. 🫖
