I would like to get a precise assessment on the question: How quickly can the color fade on IKEA Billy shelves? Specifically, I am interested in how long the paint or foil coating on the shelves and side panels typically remains color stable when the furniture is mainly placed in a bright room with a lot of natural light but without direct intense sunlight. Are there differences between white and colored versions regarding UV resistance? Also, do factors like room temperature or humidity affect the fading process? Concrete timeframes would be helpful, as I want to estimate whether purchasing this for a living room window with a lot of daylight could be problematic.

I would add as a question: How much natural daylight does your room get, and how close is the shelf to the window?That’s exactly what I wanted to ask. Our Billy shelf is positioned a few meters away from the window, and so far after 2 years I haven’t noticed any change. Maybe you could also mention whether the shelf is in a room with curtains or blinds.
I do have my concerns; otherwise, this topic wouldn’t be so important to me here on the forum 🙂 I appreciate that the technical details are being taken into account.
