Lambrequins will help to decorate the traditional atmosphere of the room, to give the interior originality and uniqueness. They represent the top trim of a window or doorway. This decorative design hides the cornice and dramatically transforms the curtains.
Lambrequins differ in design, shape, color combination and structure. Therefore, even small rooms with a low ceiling with skillful and proper selection can be significantly transformed. And this is not only for professionals. Following not complicated instructions, cut and stitch everyone can do it.
To do this, select the fabric that matches the overall style of the room. Dining rooms, kitchens and children's rooms are often decorated with light, flowing fabrics, and halls, bedrooms and living rooms are more dense. Next, you need to determine the required width of the lambrequin. It depends on the width of the cornice and the number and depth of folds - the more they are, the correspondingly more fabric will be required. Folds on the lambrequin can be fixed or braided.
The height of the lambrequin depends on the area of the room and the height of the ceiling. Wide lambrequins with long fringe or ruffles are great for spacious rooms. The large design of the window opening will reduce the already small room. In this case, it is advisable to use a not wide, simple or complex lambrequin, consisting of several not large swag. Swag is a part of a pelmet with sagging folds in the form of a semicircle. Swag can be combined, decorated with braid, tassels or fringe, combined with the hard part of the lambrequin.
Hard-type lambrequins (bando), more often than strict plain colors, are excellent for designing classrooms and libraries. They can have a diverse shape and width, differ in clear geometric lines or, conversely, wavy edges.
Soft lambrequin can combine different fabrics and colors, the professional combination of which will give the composition integrity. A kind of soft lambrequin is flip - a fabric with evenly laid folds is thrown one or more times through the cornice, leaving the edges hanging from both sides. Such a lambrequin is unusual and at the same time it is great both for the modern design of the room, and for the classic.
In large and spacious rooms, the pelmet is not limited to swags. As decorative elements for composing the whole composition, cociglia, ties, cascades are used. They can also be sewn on their own, calculating the required size.
A visual change in the proportions of the room, window opening, giving the interior rigor or, conversely, comfort is possible thanks to the use of lambrequins in various variations.
