I wanted to replace my see-through white curtains with some blinds. Nice wooden ones. I got them at Ikea.
These are the contents of 1 packet of Ikea "Lindmon" blinds.
Putting up blinds is no rocket science. These 3 parts are as difficult as it gets. They need to be side or top mounted and then you can just put the blinds in.
TIP: add 3mm to the required space between these holders. This is because the holder's hinges face inwards. This is really bad design that I overlooked and I had to cut 3mm off the rails :-(
So anyway, you should end up like this.
Now you can simply put the rails with the blinds hanging in to the holders and close those holders.
1 window done.
Two windows done :-)

They look really nice I think.
@ Gianna: Thanks! So do I :-)
Hello! I'm thinking about buying these from ikea, but I was wondering how much light they block out. I can't seem to find info about this anywhere online. Do they do a good job of blocking out sunlight? Compared to aluminum blinds? do you have any photos of the blinds closed in the sunlight?
Hi Kathryn,
I think they're doing a good job blocking out sun light. Not as good as aluminium but they keep the place cool and dark. I'm happy with them for those reasons :-)
Cheers,
V.
I have been looking at a lot of sites to see how to put these blinds up and so far, your photos are the MOST HELPFUL! Thank you so much for posting this!
