niwdehos 0 Report post Posted November 9, 2007 The fabric on sale at Ikea is quite cheap, ranging from $8-15 /m. There's also a separate sewing service available (check with the stuff for details). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaCe 3 Report post Posted November 12, 2007 u have measure ur height and length of ur windows and check whether ready made curtains suit u?i think as long as it's hdb...no problem on the size except for those new flats with full height windows.just take the measurements of all your windows and go to toa payoh central/joo chiat, tell the shopowners you want readymade curtains and they will tell you which one to buy.

Lakmy 0 Report post Posted November 16, 2007 Hi!Am tagging along on this thread.I want to just install the brackets and the poles(double for the living for day n night curtains)Curtains I will buy as and when I find the right ones.But I am not sure the Ikea brackets can tahaanthe weight ...esp the metal ones. Has anyone used ikea ones over a long period of time?Also i find the screws they provide for diy brackets are not long enuf and can drop off if the plaster peel or if the curtains tugged hard by kidsWhere can I buy simple (inexpensive) but sturdy brackets for poles??I want it fast so I can ask my contractor to drill them for me.Spotlight .... I havent yet chkd out.Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
