Ikea Curtains

Does anyone have a set?

We need a really cheap pair to last about a year or so. The measurements are

145 wide by 300 cm drop.

Is the 145 wide per curtain or is that how much window both curtains when pulled across will cover?

Are all curtain measurements the same?

It's 145cm wide per curtain. I think. Not got a tape measure handy tho.
The curtains are all the same size iirc.

Might need to line them though as they aren't very thick.

Yes, love them. The 145cm is per curtain, so you would cover a window up to 260cm wide approx (as long as the curtains are tab top/eyelet i.e. sit flat when drawn). I think the curtains are all a standard size yes. Some are lined, but most aren't going to be much cop at shutting out light. Depends what you want them for I suppose!

Yes they were 145cm per curtain, i used to have some of the ones you hem up yourself before we moved house. They are ok but are very thin i ended up lining mine myself, i now make all my own curtains in between making them for other people as i never found any to fit my new windows that are 350cm wide lol.

I used to have a very thin woven cotton pair that were terribly thin, but currently have some chambray ones which are excellent at keeping light out.

Way too long though - "hemmed" with pins just to keep them off the floor Grin. (They did come with some of that iron-on webbing but I mislaid it Sad)

actually, thinking about it, the first (thin) pair were less than 300 cm long - maybe 230 or something like that. But I think the long ones are all 300cm now
