Interior and DIY blogger Byluinterior took to TikTok to share a video of her room, featuring a triple track curtain rail from Ikea that transforms her window area into something you&#8217;d see in a &#8216;luxury hotel&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The comment section was filled with admiration for how she decorated her <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bristolpost.co.uk\/news\/property\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">bedroom<\/a>, and many people described her &#8216;hack&#8217; as &#8216;amazing&#8217; and &#8216;beautiful&#8217;. In the caption, she explained how she used several items from the popular homeware shop to replicate the appearance of a &#8216;luxurious hotel&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">She said: &#8220;The easiest, cheapest way to get this luxurious <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bristolpost.co.uk\/all-about\/travel\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">hotel<\/a> curtain look from Ikea.&#8221; Going through each item and what step she took, she added: &#8220;We used the VIDGA rail system, one full-length rail and added an extra quarter of another to get the length we wanted.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;These rails are actually so easy to cut, which makes it easy to add any size you want. I then added the RIKTING hooks to create the pleats (I used 10 for each panel).<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">&#8220;And a VIDGA glider and hook, you can use the glider only, but I wanted more length, so I added the hooks. The curtains are HILJA, and I used two pairs (4 panels). I added the VILBORG to layer them up and darken the room whenever needed!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Content cannot be displayed without consent<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \">The video, which you can watch below, demonstrates how she replaced her old blinds with the <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/cat\/vidga-series-38612\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">VIDGA triple track rail for \u00a319<\/a> and purchased a <a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ikea.com\/gb\/en\/p\/riktig-curtain-hook-40212203\/\" target=\"_self\" aria-label=\"\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">20-pack of RIKTIG curtain hooks for \u00a33.50<\/a>.
