It's no surprise why IKEA's blinds and curtains have become a fan favorite. The company famous for its flat-pack furniture brought that same simplicity to window treatments, offering products that are easy to install and use. Customers love the wide variety of colors available and the added safety features, such as hidden cords and cordless options. IKEA's shades and blinds also fit lots of different budgets and needs. Both renters looking for a temporary solution and new homeowners in need of something quick and inexpensive can find a product that works.

Customers have left IKEA's window treatments with very honest and helpful reviews. They've praised the many options for blinds from Venetian to Roman styles. They've also detailed how effective blackout curtains and shades worked for them, giving readers a more accurate assessment of the product's light and privacy effectiveness. On price, reviewers haven't been shy about leaving their thoughts on whether the quality justifies the cost or how well those $4.99 curtains really held up. Based on customer reviews, here are the 14 best curtains & blinds at IKEA to help you on your next window remodel or refresh.

The RINGBLOMMA roman blinds from IKEA have over 1,400 reviews. Despite that high number, they've maintained a star rating of 4.5, which is quite a feat. These polyester window treatments come in shades of white and beige in multiple sizes, but unlike other options, these blinds use magnets instead of cords to raise and lower them. This eliminates the need for pesky cords that get tangled and can even hurt children and pets. They're also washable, a major plus if they'll be hung in a child's bedroom or a playroom.

Reviews of these shades are overwhelmingly positive. Reviewers praised the simple design, and they loved the ease of installation. The amount of light filtering matched the product description, which made many customers happy and confident in their purchases. One word of warning from reviewers: the plastic ribs that encase the magnets on the treatments are likely to break after several years of use. For those renting their first apartment, these blinds might be a good fit for a short-term home with an affordable price of $44.99.

The HOPPVALS cellular blind is a delicate sleeper's best friend. The gray shade darkens rooms (though it's not a true blackout shade) and helps keep the sun from disturbing valuable sleeping time. Additionally, the honeycomb design of the cells uses the trapped air within as insulation. This will help block noise outside and keep the room temperature stable inside. While this blind does use a cord to raise and lower it, it is kept hidden inside the blind, which means it's a safer option for homes with children.

Almost a thousand people reviewed these blinds and gave them a 4.5 rating. Customers praised the easy installation and the room-darkening effect. Some reviews called out IKEA for inaccurate measurements on their products, which is a good thing to know before you buy window treatments. One reviewer said the listing said 64 inches, but when it arrived and was installed, the product was actually too short for their 60-inch window. Others said that after several years, the blinds did not roll up. Like many IKEA products, these are best for a short-term room darkening solution at an affordable price point.

The TRETUR blackout blinds provide customers with a white option instead of the more typical dark-colored blackout curtains and shades. This allows for a perfectly bright, neutral palette to accommodate many design options while still keeping that harsh sunlight out of the room. They're cordless, which makes them safer to be installed in children's bedrooms. The cover panel is also removable if you ever want to repurpose these treatments in rooms where blackout features aren't important.

Out of almost 1,100 reviews, these blinds managed an average rating of 4.3. Reviewers praised the blinds' affordability, easy installation, and total blackout features, which certainly helped reviewers who need to sleep during the day. Several, however, noted that their blinds broke after a year. Some reported that their blinds did not come with the necessary screws, which the product listing says it should include. If you order these blinds, make sure you check for all the parts before starting to install them.

Measuring windows for shades correctly can be tricky. Being even a half inch off can result in gaps in the sides of the treatments, rendering the blinds useless. For peace of mind, the SANDVEDEL Roller blind is made to be cut to fit an exact width. The beige color of the blind filters light and provides privacy by blocking views of your living room or dining room. Although this product requires a little more installation work, the product page includes a video showing users how it's done.

Over 600 customers reviewed the SANDVEDEL blinds, giving them a 4.2-star rating. Customers loved their sheerness, able to let in filtered light, but the question of privacy divided reviewers. Some felt the blinds provided enough cover to prevent prying eyes from looking in, while others disagreed. If privacy is a major concern, you may want to test these first before installing, and keep your receipt handy.

The TANDLUNDFLY is a double-layered blind, which means customers have options for adjusting light and privacy. It is also easy to push the blind up or down to set it at your preferred height, a great option for playrooms. The built-in soft closing function means the blinds won't fall down fast and risk hurting someone. The blinds are also cordless, which is a huge plus for families with young children.

Although the product has a 4.4-star rating, it only has 28 reviews, compared to others on this list with hundreds of them. It's not that the reviews are inaccurate, but the product may be newer, and fewer people may have tested it on their windows. Out of those reviews, 21 gave the blinds a 5-star rating, highlighting the clean look and ease of use. One reviewer did note that the roller broke after only a few months, and another noted that water marks will show, a good warning if you plan to use these in a kitchen or bathroom.

Blinds and curtains don't have to be mutually exclusive. They often work very well together. IKEA's SKOGSKLÖVER roller blinds fit with the defining window treatment trend of 2026: pairing blinds and curtains from IKEA for better lighting and privacy control privacy solutions. The fabric is sheer, which will filter some light but won't provide much privacy. People outside will be able to see shapes and silhouettes through the blinds during the day, and the blinds will not provide any privacy at night when the lights are on. But if curtains are part of the design, then these might be just the solution needed.

The SKOGSKLÖVER blinds netted a 4.2 average star rating with over 1,600 reviews. Customers loved the internal and external mounting features and the light filtering level. Multiple reviewers, however, pointed out that installation screws and materials were not provided, something to keep in mind when making a decision. Plan to swing by a hardware store on your way home or put in a separate order to your preferred online retailer.

What a deal! At just $4.99, the SCHOTTIS pleated shade helps block light and glare on TV screens and adds privacy without completely shutting out the world, though silhouettes will be distinguishable at night. This budget-friendly window treatment option does not require any drilling, and it can be cut to fit the right size. For privacy in a pinch, these shades might be the best low-cost solution.

A whopping 3,700 people have reviewed the SCHOTTIS shades and given them a 4.2 average rating. A number of people highlighted the effectiveness at light-blocking and the price, praising these shades as temporary solutions until they could buy something more permanent. Remember, price isn't the only representation of good or bad quality, but as many reviewers note, these shades rip easily and won't last long. For college dorms or short-term uses, these may be an excellent find, but if you're looking for something that will hold up well over time, then it may be best to choose a different option.

Scalloped, elegant, and a little feminine—that's the ALVINE SPETS sheer curtains from IKEA. These simple curtains won't offer much privacy, but they will filter sunlight and can be paired with heavier curtains for a more layered look. The curtains measure 98 inches long, perfect for high ceilings and large windows. However, they can also be hemmed to any specific length. If hemming seems daunting, taping with a product like the Marcobrothers hemming tape can also work. This means you won't have to worry about curtains that are too long or short, and you can also hang them above the window if you really want to take advantage of the length.

For many reviewers, these curtains were just what the doctor ordered. They gave them an average rating of 4.8 out of 718 reviews. Customers looking for feminine or cottage vibes with beautiful window treatment trends praised the beauty and floral details, and many raved about the quality for the price. The biggest complaint reviewers noted was the lack of sizes available, but that's why they're particularly long. Otherwise, these are beloved curtains that can give any room a soft touch.

Fruit and florals meet in the VILDPERSILJA curtains. Available with a white or black background, these cheery drapes also measure 98 inches long, perfect for potentially hemming or hanging the curtains above the window. The curtains filter in daylight and block views of the interior. The blend of cotton and ramie keeps the fabric durable and wrinkle-resistant, though not washable.

Scoring a 4.8 average rating out of 76 reviews is no easy feat, and 67 of those reviews were 5 stars. Customers praised the garden print on the curtains and gushed about the many compliments they've received. It should be noted that these curtains are not double-sided, so the pattern is not visible on the back. If you want the pattern on both sides, then you'll need to purchase a second set and sew or tape them together. Hemming will be needed if your windows are shorter than 98 inches, but if you are handy with a sewing machine or have some fabric tape on hand, then these are all fixable issues.

The HÄGGVECKMAL room darkening curtains bring a classic pattern and a practical purpose. They filter light perfectly through a classic gray tartan fabric (front and back), which complements a variety of styles. The tartan pattern feels at home in bedrooms, but it can also make eat-in kitchens feel cozy and warm. The curtains are also heavy enough to keep out the summer heat and winter drafts. For those with children, the washable feature will keep these curtains looking clean and fresh.

These plaid curtains only have 47 reviews (perhaps they're newer to IKEA stores), but they garnered a 4.9-star rating. Of those reviews, 46 of them netted 4 and 5 stars. Reviewers loved the light filtration, praising its balance of light and dark, and the classic, masculine pattern. The curtains also felt heavy and of high quality to a number of customers. The only reason for caution here is the low number of reviews compared to other products on this list, but if you're not afraid of being among the first to try these elegant curtains, then they might be a great option for your home.

The LILL sheer curtains have one major advantage over the ALVINE SPETS option: price. A set of LILL curtains cost just $4.99. They're made from polyester, and they are machine washable. They're also 98 inches long and can be hemmed or taped as needed to fit your windows. These can be great options for buyers who need light filtration and privacy right away, but need more time to decide how they really want to style their windows.

Customers gave the LILL curtains an average 4.6-star ranking out of over 1,500 reviews, the vast majority being 5-star raves. LILL's ranking below ALVINE SPETS comes down to price and design. One review said the LILL material "feels like mosquito netting," and another urged viewers not to buy them because they "look so cheap." While LILL lacks the design and quality of ALVINE SPETS, they're a great option for layering or adding a delicate touch to a temporary space.

Not all room darkening curtains need to be gray or black. The MAJGULL curtains come in beige-yellow, gray-turquoise, and light gray, providing options that block light without sacrificing color. They can offer a pop of color in rooms where it's often hard to decorate, like small kitchens or laundry rooms. For living and dining rooms, these products can both reduce the light coming through and provide plenty of privacy. They're also heavy enough to keep the room warm in winter and cool in the summer.

The MAJGULL curtains have a 4.6 rating average out of over 700 reviews. Customers had no problem hemming and ironing their curtains upon arrival, making them look perfectly proportioned when hung up. The room-darkening quality varied from customer to customer. Some felt it was enough while others disagreed. This can be pretty subjective, so keep in mind that you may want to trial these drapes before hemming.

Elegance and simplicity meet in the RITVA curtains. The included tie-backs add practicality and give the curtains a polished silhouette. They can also be hung without the tie-backs if light blocking is needed. Available in white and black, the lightweight fabric filters the light coming through the window, though passersby will be able to see through when the lights are on at night. Because of the tie-backs, hemming may be more complicated, so measure carefully for the best size.

With almost 600 reviews, RITVA impresses with a 4.6-star rating. Customers loved the quality of the curtains and felt the weight of the fabric filtered just the right amount of light. The one big concern reviewers raised? The curtains shrank in the washing machine. The label says this will happen, as one customer notes, but they shrank much more than the 4 percent listed. Another customer notes that the curtains looked more off-white than white, so keep this in mind if that factors into your design.

Ready for a strong dose of color? The GINSTMOTT curtains come in gray and white neutrals, but they shine in customer-favorite shades of bright pink and navy blue. The lightweight fabric will let in light without giving up too much privacy, and the fade-resistant polyester drapes elegantly. These curtains are both washable and 98 inches long, ideal for years of use and custom hemming if needed.

At a 4.6 average rating from almost 200 reviews, customers have high praise for GINSMOTT curtains. They loved the feel of the fabric, which one review described as looking "much more expensive than they are." Remember, these are not blackout curtains, so they may not be a great option if you really need full darkness in a bedroom. The light coming through the blue and pink curtains may be tinted by those respective colors, so be aware of that when choosing where to hang these reviewer faves.

The goal of this article was to find the best curtains and blinds from IKEA using customer reviews as a barometer. We presented them in a list that covers multiple use cases and buyer needs. We ranked each product using the highest average star rating given by customers. The number of customer reviews was also a ranking factor. The average number of reviews for each category were noted and factored in the number of reviews into the product's ranking. In blinds, for example, the TANDLUNDFLY had a higher star rating than other products, but it had 28 reviews as opposed to RINGBLOMMA and TRETUR's hundreds of reviews. For curtains, which had many more options than blinds, products with only one review were excluded.

Each product on this list is both highly rated and offers something unique, whether it is a style, a light-blocking function, or customizability. If the same product was available through IKEA in slight variations, such as color, only one entry for the product was included in this list. This prevented the list from being overrun with the same product or focusing too much on just one type of curtain or blind.
