More about the types of lambrequins
There are a lot of design options for curtains with a lambrequin. Among all, it is still worth highlighting the main types:
Classic pelmet. A strip of fabric is folded using a curtain tape. The shape of the lower edge can be very different - arched, straight, wavy. Such curtains will successfully cover the upper slope of the window or an ugly cornice.
Hard pelmet. It keeps its shape perfectly, it is made of special bandeau fabric or a dense canvas with non-woven or dublin lining. In the interior of the living room, such curtains look very majestic, stylish and quite strict.
With decorative elements. The intricate design of this model includes many interesting details - swagi, jabots, chillies, ties, peroxides. Wide scope for creative imagination and the ability to create truly unique curtain compositions!
Combined Lambrequin. A typical example is the curtains, when through the openings in a hard lambrequin stretch the fabric, collected in folds. Often the design of such models is carried out by very talented professional designers.
Definitely, sophisticated forms of elaborate-shaped lambrequin curtains look more impressive and presentable, however, for a country-style interior, a direct classic lambrequin would be the best option. Therefore, pay special attention to harmony, because each style has its own model.
Decorative components of a complex lambrequin
Some models of curtain lambrequins are a more complex design in the form of a combination of varieties of drapery fabric. As a rule, up to three different elements are used in one design, but talented designers with an impeccable sense of style often experiment with a lot of details.
Flip. If you throw a strip of fabric through the cornice, a semicircle is formed, which looks very much like swag.But the flange looks more impressive on a modern tube-shaped cornice from the same fabric as all window textiles.
Swag. Perhaps the most traditional version of the lambrequin, which is a semicircle with neat smooth folds. Swag can be fixed along the entire upper edge of the cornice or only on both sides. In the second case, an empty semicircle with a smaller radius is formed. There are also symmetric and asymmetric swag options. They can be used in pairs, separately, overlay or intersect with the rest of the elements of the lambrequin.
Cocktail. Symmetric or dual construction, similar to two short and narrow swag, the long sides of which are located to each other. Located in the middle of the curtain composition between the swag.
Jabot. The asymmetric component of the pelmet with vertical folds and an oblique lower edge, located on the side of the window. Jabots are usually used in pairs, on both sides of a window opening.
Tie. A tie pattern for a lambrequin can be similar to a jabot, only the folds do not fall along the cornice, but one after the other.
The combination of various decorative elements looks interesting in a variety of color combinations. There can be plenty of options here: whether it will be contrasting colors, or consonant pastel shades - the main thing is to choose the right colors with the right taste.
Decoration for curtain lambrequins
To diversify the design and add a twist to the simplest lambrequin, you can use the original edging.
