Reviews Say This IKEA Panel Curtain Is Perfect For Patio Doors

Patio coverage is essential to maintain comfort because it provides shade and keeps bugs out. There are various types out there, from doors to screens, and the best one for you will depend on your budget and the style you want. For instance, you can just hang up some curtains, or even use this TikTok hack to screen in an existing porch for less than $300. There are specially designed patio screens and curtains out there, but some indoor curtains also do the trick. IKEA'S FÖNSTERVIVA indoor panel curtain is one such option based on the reviews. The curtain has a sheer appearance and costs just $19.

The FÖNSTERVIVA panel curtains are perfect to use as patio "doors" because they give you coverage that is light but effective. Standard doors, even when they're see-through glass wall systems, are rigid and can feel closed-off. Meanwhile, curtains add privacy and style by maintaining some openness. With these coverings, you'll never feel completely blocked off from the outside world.

The FÖNSTERVIVA is designed to let light in while maintaining privacy. Per the product page, it can even be used as a simple room divider or as a curtain in other spaces in your home. One reviewer used these panels to cover their patio window doors on one side of their home. They like them as screens because light can pass through them even when they're drawn closed. Thanks to this benefit, the reviewer said they don't have to leave the inside of their home exposed to get some sunlight.

Another way the FÖNSTERVIVA comes in handy is if you need to transform your outdoor patio into the perfect workspace. It's designed to prevent glares, so you can see your computer screen properly and have enough shade so you feel comfortable on hot, sunny days. This panel curtain is made of polyester and comes in beige/gray, brown/gray, and dark gray, which makes it easy to fit into most patio designs. We see it especially fitting into a patio that features all-natural materials like rattan and other woods.
