Product Information

The downside to virgin polyester is that it is made from oil, coal or natural gas. This means that when we use virgin polyester, we are exhausting the planet’s natural resources. Our response to this, is to replace all virgin polyester with recycled in our products.

IKEA is committed to end the dependency on virgin fossil materials and only use renewable or recycled materials by 2030. The term "Retail" price refers to the manufacturer's or supplier's suggested retail price for an item. The initially displayed Retail price is specific to a product with the selected dimensions and default options/features. Please note that the Retail price for the selected product will be provided upon specifying its width, height, features and options. Now, there's one more detail at this stage that's very important, and then it gets easier from here! Promise! Magnets have two sides to them, and you need to make sure you have the right side facing the right way, so that they will attract rather than repel. From the top, your first set of magnets will be face up, and the other two sets will be face down. Again, it's hard to explain in writing, but if you do it this way, the magnets will be attracting each other when folded up:

If there are multiple blinds/shades in the same room, only the defective product will be replaced/repaired. Now that you have those calculations worked out, and while your shade is still turned inside out, you can add pins on either edge of your lining to mark where your magnets are going to be sewn in. Pin your fabric and lining together with right sides facing each other. I like to use plenty of pins to keep everything secure when I'm sewing.

In 2020, IKEA replaced 79% of the virgin polyester used in IKEA textile products with recycled polyester. In volume, this means we converted 130,000 metric tonnes of recycled polyester, and saved 200,000 tonnes of virign polyester. Keep collections to yourself or inspire other shoppers!

Then attach the headrail to the shade with the velcro, and carefully drill the screws into your window frame. If you've been following along with my One Room Challenge from the start, you might remember that one of my biggest anticipated hurdles of this project was to make make five cordless fabric shades— without crying or losing my mind. I'll admit there were a few tears along the way, but I'm happy to say that I have survived to tell the tale and my windows are now fully covered! Once you have sewn three seams, you can trim the excess fabric, and snip diagonally across the two bottom corners (being careful not to cut any of the stitching.) This will give you a nice crisp finish when you eventually turn it right side out.

She also gave me a lot of advice and help along the way via FaceTime—thanks Mum!

Next, grab your roman shade tube tape or your wide ribbon, and cut two pieces to fit the width in between the magnets, with a little extra for hemming. If you are using tube tape, you can hem both ends as there are slits to insert the dowel. If you are using ribbon, fold and iron it in half width ways and hem one end, leaving an end open so that you can insert the dowel. At IKEA, we demand that all recycled polyester used in IKEA products shall come from recyclers that are compliant with the Global Recycled Standard and traceability is secured to the IKEA product through requirements toward the IKEA Suppliers. We use the latest enhanced magnetic technology when it comes to our magnetic controls. Our magnetic controls are the easiest to raise and lower in the industry, not only does this improve the user experience, it also puts less strain on the internal mechanism which makes our system more durable, which is why we offer the longest warranty in the industry, 10 years!As a rough formula, though, take three inches off the length of your blind (you want a little bit of room at the top) and divide the remainder into 5 (three pleats=5 sections.) This number is how long each pleat will end up being. Then, from the bottom of the shade, your magnets will go 1/5 of the way up, 3/5 of the way up, and 3 inches from the top. I would definitely suggest testing this method out on a small-ish window. The magnets work much better on the two narrower shades I made (31 inches). The wider ones (46 inches) take a bit more tweaking to get them to stay put. (I might figure out a longer term solution for this at some point, but that's definitely a project for another day!) And if you value your sanity, then please don't do what I did and launch into this project with five shades to make and a deadline looming. (Or if you do, then don't say I didn't warn you ;)
