Homeland Lambrequin - France, and once itthe meaning was quite different than today: reliably sheltering sleeping quarters from prying eyes, the lambrequin kept heavy curtains, hiding their hinges, fixings. He was called to create the illusion that the folds delicately appear on the fabric, luxuriously decorated with fringe, ribbons, bows, beads.
Lambrequin today has changed greatly, howeverits meaning remains the same, although it now adorns the windows, not the sleeping places. His ability to visually narrow or expand the space is actively used by designers in the design of the interior. Various technologies for creating amazing forms allow you to make any place in the house, halls, beautiful, spectacular and unique.
Lambrequins are soft and hard.Both types are popular: having come into fashion relatively recently in a new role, they have won their niche in the market with ease and never seem to leave it. After all, a variety of styles and types of elegant designs gives completeness to any interior.
Soft designs include shapes,Curtains made from fabric. They are formed by tying fabric webs, tucks of various shapes, the formation of folds. Such lambrequins are called soft. Their types are divided into swags (semicircular sags), jabots (corrugated symmetrical and asymmetrical fans), ties and puffs. Sometimes the combination of several types of lambrequins forms magnificent air structures. The main types form a variety of subspecies: bells, buds, awnings, and lambrequin designs in the form of arches, cups cuffed, an unusual look of curtains make the interior perfect. The figured lambrequin (the photo shows a combination of styles) is necessarily performed on a compacted base.
Hard lambrequins are called "gang".They are carried out on a dense material, on the front side the lambrequin is in harmony with the main type of curtains, and the reverse side is equipped with an adhesive surface.
Figured lambrequins (they are also called openwork) - the most complex type of lambrequin. But its unsurpassed elegance often serves as the very nuance and highlight in the interior of almost any room.
This type of lambrequin can be either openwork orcut out of solid canvas. You can make curly lambrequins with your own hands; the process of creating will require sewing skills and artistic taste. For the construction of a solid web, it is enough to measure the length of the desired lambrequin, correctly make a pattern, and then attach it to the eaves.
The base of the figured lambrequin must be dense,Flizelin is perfect for this purpose. It is sufficiently translucent to put on it the picture you chose. You can make a pattern by increasing the image from the millimeter scale to the desired size. There are also special computer applications with the help of which it is more convenient to do this.
Cutting the fabric on the pattern, you need to use pins so that the fabric does not move out and not crumpled.
The finished pattern with allowances transferred to the non-woven fabric is ironed with steam, this will allow the glue base to evenly distribute the fabric over the workpiece.
If you chose an elegant openwork pattern for a pelmet, it is neatly cut with a soldering iron for guilloche.
The figured lambrequin is also of several types.
Lambrequins on a hard basis - a good solutionfor not the most beautiful cornice, they hide the shortcomings of the transition from placing the curtains on the cornice to the ceiling, the faults of the cornice, if any. Figured lambrequins can be purchased in length for the entire length of the cornice. It is very easy to fix it; it is enough to remove the film from the adhesive surface and carefully attach it to the eaves. Loops can be used if the eaves are not straight, but round (i.e. have a circular cross section).
Openwork lambrequins, being an exquisite detail invisual design of the room, can be used to increase the window area visually or reduce it (for example, if the room needs to be zoned).
The location of the figure lambrequin depends onhow to transform the space. You can attach it in the central part of the eaves and focus on symmetry. Also a well-shaped lambrequin will look in one of the corners if the room is small. Both angles distinguished by lambrequins can be both symmetrical and asymmetrical, depending on the desired effect.
The figured lambrequin is often chosen as contrasting.relation to the main colors of walls and curtains. If the interior is uniform in several rooms, the lambrequins of the same type can emphasize this orientation. It can be made small in size to create corner elements of the decor or several elements of the same type for the entire length of the cornice.
