When you don’t have enough money to buy curtains, and you need to cover the window with something, good old newspapers or a sheet immediately come to mind. But the aesthetic appearance of such “curtains” leaves much to be desired and spoils the overall impression of the brand new renovation and furniture.
The ideal way out of this situation would be to buy SchottisIkea blinds. This is an example of temporary pleated window curtains that are very easy to install and cost much less than full blinds. And their appearance is quite pleasant and neat. The photo shows examples of placement on the window and on the balcony.
Schottis blinds
Roman curtains
Roman blinds allow you to slightly muffle the sunlight (but do not block it completely). They can be described as both universal and laconic. Roman blinds look best in the kitchen, although it is also a good option to use them in a work office where there is a computer or tablet. Unlike roller blinds, Roman blinds do not roll into peculiar rolls with each lift, but form beautiful and even folds. Their edge can be easily fixed at the desired level using a special built-in magnet.
At Ikea, Roman blinds are represented by the Ringblumma . Dimensions – 60/80/100/120×160 cm. Colors – yellow, green, white, white and blue. Price – from 999 to 1,599 rubles.

Operation and care
Paper blinds from Ikea are horizontal, the main part consists of polyester, the clip is made of polypropylene. All material is recycled. The kit also includes Velcro to secure the curtains from the bottom. The top has adhesive tape already attached. Models are available in dark and light colors, measuring 100 by 190 centimeters.
A special feature of these blinds is their ease of installation. First, you should measure the width of the window sashes, since a separate package of blinds is purchased for each sashe, unless the sashes are too narrow. After measuring, you should cut the blinds to the desired size. Clean the area where the curtains will be glued, remove the protective film from the adhesive tape and press it to the attachment point.
It should be noted that it is better to cut exactly to the width of the glass, since when opening the window for ventilation or for washing, the curtain may interfere.
To secure the blinds when opening, Velcro is attached to the bottom of the window sill (or glass) and to the bottom of the curtain for convenience. There is no special mechanism for opening the blinds, but a special lock is provided with which you can vary the degree of openness of the curtains. When opening a window, you must remember to unfasten the curtain from the Velcro if it is glued to the window sill, otherwise you may tear the fabric.
These blinds cannot be washed, bleached, tumble dried, ironed or dry cleaned. To keep them clean, just brush or vacuum using a brush attachment.
The best model that is suitable for any window is “Schottis”. It is made of polyester, and the plastic parts are made of polypropylene. These blinds are easy to use and very wear-resistant.

When developing a new interior design, changing a style, or during a routine renovation, window design is an important step. Nowadays, any major home improvement store offers all kinds of window shading and window treatment options. One option is blinds.

Due to their density, they completely block sunlight, so you can be absolutely calm: nothing will disturb your sleep - not a street lamp, not a bright moon, not the sun's rays (if you want to sleep until noon). The fabric of Blackout curtains is heavy, which is why they drape wonderfully.

Advantages and disadvantages of Schottis blinds
Thanks to polyester canvas, Schottis blinds from Ikea allow light diffused light to pass through, protecting from direct sunlight. Inexpensiveness, ease of installation and maintenance, as well as a pleasant appearance have made these filters a favorite not only among residents of houses and apartments, but also among summer residents. Some are especially relevant for ground floor windows, as they protect residents from prying eyes.
Customers often leave reviews about the quality of the product on the Ikea website. Having analyzed them, we highlight the following positive qualities of curtains:
- simplicity and accessibility of installation - no need to drill holes or have a special tool, anyone can attach them without any special skills;
- protection from bright sun - the white color of the canvas muffles the solar flow, but does not block it completely, so there will be pleasant diffused light in the room;

Shottis on the window
Analyzing customer reviews, we found out the main shortcomings of the product:
- the adhesive tape with which Schottis blinds are attached to the window sometimes holds poorly and does not resist the wind well;
Tip: if the adhesiveness deteriorates, use regular double-sided tape according to the same principle.
- you cannot wash, wash, dry clean - this will cause the curtains to lose their appearance and not be able to perform their functions;
- a special clamp that regulates the degree of unfolding of the fabric weakly holds the pleated folded;
Tip: If the clip does not secure the pleated tightly enough, use clothespins or hair crabs to block the unfolding.
- The fragility of the product.
Despite the disadvantages, the price-quality ratio is absolutely justified, which makes the Ikea product popular in its niche.

Mounting features
Shottis, like other Ikea products, requires self-assembly. Usually buyers do not have any difficulties with installation. The design of the blinds is very simple: the set consists of an accordion-style canvas, on the top of which there is an adhesive layer for fastening, Velcro to fix the lower part in full deployment and a clip to adjust the degree of window opening.
Before installation, you should wipe the surface of the frame from dust and other contaminants and let it dry. Schottis blinds can be attached to both plastic and wood. If necessary, you can adjust the size by cutting off the excess with ordinary scissors. Next, remove the protective film and attach the sticky edge to the surface. The kit also includes three pairs of Velcro that block the folding; they need to be glued along the edges and in the middle of the lower part of the canvas, and the second pair at the bottom of the window frame, respectively. They help keep the accordion unfolded. You can clearly see the installation process in the video.
Curtains for the balcony
A balcony, if freed from storing unnecessary and superfluous things, can become a great place for solitude with a cup of aromatic coffee or a glass of wine in pleasant company. However, to create such a space, it is important to take care of all the details, including the curtains. It is best to choose curtains for the balcony in a minimalist style, while excluding lush frills and drapery. Also, floor-length curtains are not needed, as they visually reduce the space and create problems when opening the doors. The ideal option would be Roman blinds, roller blinds or blinds, which should be attached to each sash separately.

Hanger KOMPLEMENT
Multifunctional hanger KOMPLEMENT, 329 RUR, Ikea
The Swedish store is far from a champion in producing useless goods, but the KOMPLEMENT hanger takes a worthy place in this ranking. Designed as a multi-functional accessory storage solution. Everything looks wonderful in Ikea's perfect pictures.
What's the reality? The white fabric surface of the hanger quickly gets dirty and cannot be cleaned. And most importantly: hanging scarves, belts and tights look very careless. So let's go back to the classics! Since Ikea is famous for its excellent storage modules, SKUBB boxes will save us.
