Shoppers are going mad for Ikea's £3 blinds that can be cut to fit ANY window

A pair of Ikea blinds have sent shoppers wild on Facebook - because they cost just £3 and fit any window.

The blinds, which come in white, can be cut to fit any size - and one woman has even revealed how she revamped every window in her home for just £21.

Dozens of happy customers have been sharing photos of their makeovers on Facebook page Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK - with the blinds going viral after racking up hundreds of shares.

The flat pack furniture giant is selling them for £3 online and in stores under the name 'Schottis Pleated blind'. It's described by the retailer as "easy to attach to your window frame. No drilling needed."

Measuring 90 by 190 cm, the blinds can easily be cut to size, allowing them to fit even the trickiest of windows. And there's no drilling required either as they can be stuck down using double-sided tape.

You can even pick up the black out version of them for £5.10 if you're an Ikea member in its latest promotion.

Posting online, one woman said: "Got my £3 Ikea blinds. Easily cut to size for my narrow door windows.

"Half up at the mo to let the beautiful sunshine in!"

Best and worst broadband and phone networks - where does your supplier sit?

And while shoppers admit they're not top of the range quality - they've said it does do the job at a brilliant price.

"Well I jumped on the band wagon with the Ikea blinds and I think they're OK and do their purpose," another customer said.

"Bargain at £2 each, whole house done for £21."

Elsewhere, other group members thanked those who shared the idea - and said they took no time at all to stick on.

"Thank you to everyone who posted about the Ikea blinds.

"I got mine delivered today and I put them up as easy as anything.

"Love that they still let the light through but stop the sun beaming into my eyes while we eat our dinner.

"Totally worth the £3 each."

Another buyer wrote: "They are so easy to cut, I just measured and marked them.

"I kept them together and put the bottom at the top and used a Stanley knife and it cut through the full blind like butter in one go."
