MATILDA sheer curtains, 1 pair, white, 140x300 cm

Cotton is one of the world's most appreciated and used natural fibres. Textiles in cotton are soft, hardwearing and can be washed at high temperatures. They are also good at breathing and absorbing moisture – making them pleasant to wear close to the body. Today at IKEA we use more and more recycled cotton and strive to make sure that all the new cotton we use has been grown and produced with less and less amounts of pesticides, fertilisers and water.

With SY iron-on hemming strip everyone can "sew" curtains. All you need to do is cut your fabric to size, fold the hem, lay the strip in place and fix it with a warm iron.

The sheer fabric diffuses daylight entering the room when it is brighter outside, and softens glare on TV’s and digital screens. It gives a sense of still being connected to the world outside. In the daytime, people outdoors can perceive shapes and silhouettes indoors, but at night, when the room is lit, there is no privacy. Sheer fabric is ideal for layered window solutions.
