Lambrequins for the hall

Lambrequins are the perfect solution to decorate the curtain rod in the living room. A beautiful option for the hall is not so difficult to pick up, if you understand all the specifics and focus on the style decision of this room.

Lambrequins for the hall differ from models for other rooms. The living room is the main room of the house, because it is here that they organize solemn dinner parties, gathering the whole family at the big table, receive guests, spend their free time. Often the hall is combined with a library or bedroom. All this at the same time opens up a wide scope in the choice of a suitable window design option and imposes its own limitations:

• Lambrequin must be beautiful. The pomposity of this element is not necessary, but aesthetic appeal comes first. The first thing that guests see when they come to someone else's home is the interior of the hall, and the general impression of the apartment is made up according to what they see.
• Lambrequins in the hall carry a number of functional "duties". Besides the fact that they should give the room a smart and majestic look, they are expected to create illusions of various kinds. One of the most common - a visual increase in the room.
• And finally, their last function is to hide the unattractive design of the cornice. However, there are such lambrequins, which are designed, on the contrary, to emphasize the unusual eaves. They differ from the classical method of attachment.

It is not so difficult to choose such a frame that would be in harmony with the whole environment and at the same time be the central element of the whole interior composition. Today on the market are many fabrics and decorative elements. You can sew a beautiful lambrequin with your own hands if you have enough time, skills and readiness for monotonous scrupulous work.

Much more often, it is still ordered from a professional.True, this is by no means cheap; it’s not the result that justifies the investment. A professional can create a unique composition that is perfectly combined with a solid interior and meets all the necessary parameters.

These curtains are suitable only for typical window openings. If you are the owner of a window of an atypical design, you will have to order individual tailoring.

Lambrequins can be divided into three groups:

• Soft; Such models are made of elastic fabric of different density and can be chosen far from any interior.

• Hard;
• Combined.

Drapery soft lambrequins differ in their forms:

• The most commonly used element is swag. They are arcuate semicircular assemblies of different widths and depths, depending on their location on the eaves. You can often find combinations of different-sized Svag in one composition. They are made from both translucent chiffon fabric and curtain fabric and can be combined with each other.

• Tie is similar to jabothowever, the difference is in the arrangement of the folds. When draping a tie, they overlap each other, forming a narrow element, so that the short edge of the beveled panel turns to the room, beautifully showing the assembly.

• Kokilje always plays the role of a central element in the design of the lambrequin. When performing this part folds are stacked to each other so that the result is a sharp angle. Sometimes you can find not one, but two or three molds, but this is typical of wide lambrequins, which combine two or more windows.

• Perekid is also called semi-woven. Indeed, the constructions are partially similar, except for the fact that the transfer is attached to the rail by only one end. The other side is simply thrown over the eaves and it turns out a beautiful decoration in the ancient Greek style. Especially effectively perekidy looks on tubular eaves. If you place it on a baguette, it will look like a swag, complete with a tie.

• Rarely trumpet. They often have other names: bell, cone. All these words denote the same detail of the lambrequin. A trumpet is a single fold of fabric folded into a cone shape.

Rigid lambrequins are made on a wooden frame or on a soft fabric backing, depending on the budget of the customer and on the purpose of the model. Frame options are more expensive than fully fabric, but they are more durable and look more majestic. The bando on the frame is suitable for interior design of all styles, with the exception, perhaps, of Loft-style living rooms.

A bando on a soft frame can have a straight or shaped edge, and can also be supplemented with a through thread. Such "lace" models are called openwork lambrequins.

The combined lambrequins are the soft and rigid details which are collected together. This option is the most pompous of all. It is he who is usually chosen to design the window in the living room, but caution is required here. Such a lambrequin can be designed only by a professional, since an amateur who does not have sufficient artistic taste will most likely be disappointed by creating his own model. Professional designers know which elements should be combined with each other, and which ones should not.

When choosing fabrics for creating soft lambrequins, you should be guided by the style of the room. It is necessary to take into account the choice of curtains.

Light lambrequins from the veil look good in rooms with high ceilings. However, this rule can be circumvented by mixing lightweight fabrics with heavier curtains. In the setting of the living room is usually welcome if the pelmet will be created from fabrics of contrasting shades.

Among other materials are popular:

• Hard gang on the frame made from natural fabrics. Flax, cotton, chintz look good, expensive and at the same time restrained and strict.
• Bando on a soft frame can be made of any matter, but the preference is still to give polyester. It is easy to clean and costs much less than natural linen.
• Openwork gang, on the contrary, it should be chosen only from a single-colored fabric. The exception is the canvas with a gradient or fashionable chameleon fabrics that change color depending on the lighting. Pay attention to its texture: the rougher it is, the thinner the openwork should be. Soft and hard lambrequins can be made of fabric with a pattern.

At the moment there is an opportunity to make a pelmet of any size. These can be models on a large panel window with a width of 3 or 4 meters, or there can be very small, framing a small opening in the hallway or kitchen.

When choosing a color solution for lambrequins in the living room, it is not forbidden to use bright saturated colors such as rose red, emerald, deep blue, peach, light green. However, muted delicate tones remain in fashion for the first season. Gray, lilac, white, beige, light green or blue emphasize the beauty of the room no worse than flashy colors and allow you to put emphasis on something else, for example, on a beautiful sofa.

Also, designers advise:

• When choosing finishes for lambrequins, pay attention to Golden color. Gilded fringe looks appropriate with almost any style, while it adds chic to the room

• Two-tone Lambrequins are used today much more often than monotone ones. Play on contrasts. Blue tulle and canary silk, green and white organza swords, gray-blue and gold perekida will present the elegant atmosphere of the living room.
• Do not forget the designers and about related combinations. Different shades of pink, yellow, blue are found in the same design quite often.

• Flower patterns on fabric for lambrequins are welcome. In combination with light tulle swagas, dense matter, decorated with roses, looks spectacular and stylish, while the design itself gives the impression of being modest and restrained, and sometimes even a little rustic.

The design of the pelmets in the living room can be very diverse. Depending on your own preferences and needs, you can choose modern or classic models inherent in the Baroque style.

Much also depends on the size of the room. For a relatively small living room, the ceiling height of which does not exceed 2.5 meters, it is preferable to choose the simplest straight gang. Any decor will only make the room even smaller.If you still want to make a little holiday in a familiar setting, buy a lambrequin openwork. Cut-out “laces” will create the illusion of lightness, which will help to visually “lift” the ceilings and expand the space.

Making out the corner windows, you should also prefer the openwork gang to all others. Only this option allows you to stretch the pelmet also on the nearby wall, visually stretching the space and making the window larger.

For village windows with shutters, it is enough to sew only lambrequins, not complemented by curtains. Such a move will save space and help to put more light into the living room, while at the same time adding gloss to it.

Solutions for large windows are much more. For example, making out a window with a balcony, it is necessary to give preference to asymmetric models. Ties and jabots help to balance the proportions of the room.

There are several types of fasteners for different lambrequins:

• Hard bando attached to the eaves, either with glue or on a sticky tape. The second option is preferable, because from time to time the pelmet will have to be removed and cleaned, and with the help of the velcro this process will become much easier.

• Soft lambrequins They are usually mounted on a curtain tape, which is then hung on the framing eaves in front of the main curtains. However, designers also offer a mounting option on the grommet, making the eaves, which in theory should be hidden, the main focus. In this case, the presence of lambrequins is intended only to emphasize its beauty and unusual.

We present to your attention new items and classic samples of lambrequins for the hall with a detailed analysis of each of the proposed solutions.

Stylish lambrequins can be used not only for framing windows. This photo clearly shows how you can use curtains with svagami and jabobs to delimit the space of one room. Lambrequins made of thick linen fabric are complemented by a modest decor in the form of a silk ribbon in a delicate color.They fit perfectly in a classic interior.

Asymmetry is often used to decorate a window with a balcony door. Fashionable combined lambrequins of contrasting colors decorate the space between the ceiling and the window opening, visually expanding the area of ​​the hall and increasing the height of the ceilings. The drawing on tulle is made in the same color range as the gang.

Classic swags from thick curtain fabric look modest, allowing you to make a luxurious leather sofa the center of the composition. In this case, the pelmet serves as an addition to the unusual scalloped French curtains, delicately emphasizing their beauty and not drawing attention to themselves.

Here is an example of a fashionable combined corner lambrequin. The choice of gold colors allows you to give the room a luxurious look, while the white trim of a hard gang under the color of the ceiling slightly balances the element, making it less fussy but not losing its festive look.

In this case, the designer successfully “made friends” combined lambrequins and French curtains. Emphasis is placed on the purity and geometry of the lines. The colors chosen are almost identical in order to avoid overloading the structure.A brush in the middle of the lambrequin is a piquant addition.

Fashionable lambrequins with a floral ornament are made in a duet with Roman curtains of matting. They look stylish and at the same time at home. Pay attention to how well selected textiles: the cushion on the chair is made of the same material as the pelmet, and flanked on the sides with the same fringe.

The room in a rustic style seems to be filled with sunlight due to the choice of yellow fabric. A modest checkered pattern on framed rigid lambrequins with a figured bottom complements the overall interior, at the same time acting as a bright accent against the background of monochromatic surfaces. The choice of this option gang visually increases the height of the ceilings.
