HOME interior fans are going wild over a new IKEA hack which makes your home look instantly more expensive.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And it\u2019s all to do with one of the curtains on sale in the popular shop \u2013 specifically how you hang and accessorise them in your home.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Social media influencer Chris-Ann, who uploads content about home decor, revealed she\u2019d recently purchased several IKEA items to upgrade her bedroom.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In a post titled \u2018A custom look using Ikea Curtains\u2019, Chris-Ann shared how she\u2019d bought two single tracks and four sets of their Hilja white curtains.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Once she\u2019d combined the two tracks to create one bigger one, she then hung the sets of curtains up from the top of the ceiling with the vision of allowing them to drape down.<\/p>\n
The next<\/span> thing in her shopping basket was an iron-on hemming strip, which she attached to the bottom of each curtain while they were hung up, so that it elongated them further.\u00a0<\/p>\n The final result? Chris-Ann, aka TikTok user @cahjahoriedeco, posted a video which unveiled the curtains hanging in the windows of her bedroom, showing the high-end, bespoke look she\u2019d achieved.<\/p>\n But she\u2019s far from the only person to think it\u2019s a great idea, as her TikTok followers were quick to comment that they loved the longer curtains she\u2019d created using her clever hemming strip hack.<\/p>\n The transformation video, which racked up over 22k likes and counting, also attracted lots of attention and comments.\u00a0<\/p>\n One person wrote: \u201cLooks fab!\u201d<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n While a second typed: \u201cLove this look!\u201d<\/p>\n And a third said: \u201cThis is beautiful.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Meanwhile, another of Chris-Ann\u2019s 9,405 followers wrote underneath the clip that they\u2019ve been majorly inspired by her creation.<\/p>\n She said: \u201cOmg, thank you.<\/p>\n \u201cI just put mine up and needed to hem them back and you just provided the best solution without having to take them off.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Another impressed social media user added: \u201cI\u2019ve never thought of hemming strips!\u201d<\/p>\n Speaking about her bedroom makeover, Chris-Ann responded to comments about how lovely it looked.<\/p>\n And when one of her followers asked if they were see-through, she replied: \u201cThey are sheer so allow light in.<\/p>\n \u201cBut if outside looking in, you don\u2019t really see inside.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Fabulous will pay for your exclusive stories.
