To choose the style of curtains for the kitchen window is a task,let's say not quite simple. It would seem, what is the difficulty? After all, a kitchen is a room where dense curtains, multilayered heavy draperies that darken and close the window are not needed. However, the curtains play an important role in the overall decor of the room, it is their shape and color that become the final touch. Complex textile compositions on the windows always look beautiful. Frills, swags, long flowing jabo falling down the window give the room a refined look even with the simplest furnishings. Is it worth making lambrequins in the kitchen? Why not. The main thing is to choose a suitable shape and color, taking into account the style and specifics of this room. Lambrequin is a versatile decor. It can perfectly complement both the classic interior and the modern, shining with gloss and metal. However, we note that you should not make the lambrequins too complicated and multi-layered in the kitchen. Still, this room is designed for cooking, and this process is associated with various fumes, soot settling on all surfaces with a greasy coating that requires constant cleaning, therefore, the curtains in the kitchen are washed more often. Care for draperies is difficult, erasing, and then smoothing the folds - the whole problem. Therefore we will stop the choice on simpler, but not less attractive models. The same applies to the choice of fabrics. Curtains and lambrequins for the kitchen are sewn from well-washable materials: thick cotton fabrics, polyester, silk.
Now we will pick up a style.Lambrequins made in the form of a frill, simple but very attractive, can be stitched to the kitchen. Such simple style will be suitable for various interiors. A small flower, peas and a cage perfectly complement the classic or romantic style, and plain or striped fabrics in the color of kitchen facades, decorated with contrasting light and exquisite finishes, decorate the modern interior. Approaching the process creatively, combining several different fabrics, using braid and appliqué, you can sew light curtains and very beautiful lambrequins for the kitchen on your own (photo). New designs also offer to pick up a similar window decor for blinds or a roller shutter, which will soften the severity of the lines and add playfulness and additional comfort to the interior. For example, a window with blinds looks original, complemented by a lambrequin made of separate narrow details of two close colors, with corners decorated with a brush.
Usually the lambrequin is cut in width, constituting1/6 of the height of the curtain, and its length in the finished form should be equal to the length of the cornice. Additionally, for fluffy assemblies add at least 1/3 more length. Folds are collected using a curtain tape sewn from the back and tied to the desired distance. On the window the lambrequin is firmly fixed, it should not move together with the curtains. To do this, select a special eaves, the front side of which is trimmed with Velcro tape, which is convenient to mount the assembled fabric. You can hang it on an additional rod or fasten directly on top of the eaves.
Lambrequins fit the kitchen and flat.They also go well with blinds, tulle and roman blinds. For the manufacture of such a model must use a pattern. Paper is used to preform a figured shape and a desired size, strictly measured by the size of the cornice. Then the detail is cut out from the main and lining fabric, leaving allowances for hemming at the top and bottom. To keep the flat lambrequin in good shape, a dense adhesive backing is laid between the fabric and the lining. This model is mounted only on top of the eaves, completely closing it. This is done with the help of Velcro adhesive tape, one part of which is fixed on the cornice and the other on the pelmet. Such a lambrequin can look strictly and concisely, and it can be quite romantic if you make it out of a fabric with a bright floral print.
