If the eaves are round, the products are mounted using loops.

By production of soft lambrequins soft fabrics which are draped without problems are used. You can use a non-stiff curtain fabric. Designs consist of various decorative details:

• bell (bell) - single cone-shaped fold;

How to choose material for a lambrequin, see below.

The subject compositions of openwork lambrequins are very diverse - from wide fields to smooth bends in combination with the finest virtuoso lines. To build a tracery pattern, the easiest way to use ready-made stencils.It is important to accurately calculate the length of the gang, since trimming the finished lambrequin is impossible by definition, because the entire pattern is broken. Using a computer program for constructing patterns is the best option, though not all applications are free. But, saving time and convenience are worth it. Options for azhura there are countless.

The most popular floristic themes are stylized roses, tulips, lilies, compositions of climbing plants in a heart, combinations of leaves of fanciful shapes with cascading curls for angular details. Various fantasy drawings, butterflies, bows, large symmetrical flowers or combinations of geometric figures as a central element of a modular lambrequin are also relevant.

Choosing a pelmet, you need to take into account its shape, size and color, not forgetting about the functional load of the room in which you want to design windows with a gang.

The easiest way to use the following options:

1. Pick up Kohler, which will maintain the shades that dominate the color palette of the interior. There is no need to find a pelmet in an identical color, the main thing is to achieve a harmonious combination of fabrics.
2. The contrast of colors and textures - An excellent solution that allows you to emphasize profitable lambrequin on the background of flowing smooth curtains. For a classic interior, the gradations of noble brown + golden, beige + shades of a dark palette become ideal color duets.

In this case, they are guided by the only rule: for compact rooms, the simplest patterns are chosen, and the larger the room, the more difficult it is to use patterns. Of great importance and style of the interior.

To determine the width of the lambrequin, it is important to clearly understand what kind of "visual" window size you plan to achieve with the help of curtains-gangs. If in reality the window opening is small, then partial or full filling of the walls will help to correct its proportions.

Do not forget to get a cornice of the appropriate length.Moreover, in this situation it is important that draperies frame only the opening, and not overlap the window space. The combination of curtains of weightless threads with an openwork pelmet is another winning solution for the design of small window openings.

In standard apartments, where the ceilings are rarely high, you can visually change the proportions of the space with the help of a wide bar with a carved pattern. If the pattern with the thinnest lines will be sustained in a dark gamma, then you can not fear the effect of weighting the curtain composition.

In the living room or bedroom, designed in the trends of baroque style or classics, not to mention the Empire style, elegant curly lambrequins become a logical continuation of luxurious design, organically fitting into the design. Whereas with interior solutions in modern styles, it is worth being careful: these trends are more or less into minimalism, denying various designer delights.

Design options with a gang. To give the "thread" expressiveness, you can use contrasting materials. If the curtains and the slat will differ by a couple of tones, the pattern will be lost.. It is sometimes difficult to choose the decor for the kitchen space in a classic design. Here, a complex multi-layered solution with a pattern in the center and an ordinary metric lambrequin with repeating elements of the pattern will look equally organically. But it is important to comply with the measure. If the kitchen is of a modest size, then decorating a gang window in a single-color contrast version with an unobtrusive air openwork will be a good option.

Planning to update the interior of the whole room at the same time? Try using a single shade to design multiple zones. The material of the carved bando is used for sewing covers on the chairs in the living segment. For country design or Provencal motives of kitchen premises, lambrequins with restrained design and color solutions in soothing shades are best suited. Universal option - a combination of white organza with a hard carved gang as an accent.

As already mentioned, carved lambrequins are universal in the sense that they can be used in any room. The exception concerns the decoration of windows in kitchens, where the appearance of the openwork accessory may suffer due to constant humidity and high temperature. Under the influence of steam, the plank begins to swell and deform, and the fat drops from the hob will be too noticeable on the shiny material. The problem solves only heavy duty hood. Machine wash is not recommended for openwork lambrequins, so caring for them comes to periodic surface treatment with a slightly damp cloth.

There is a huge number of interesting and at the same time practical options for decorating window spaces with gang curtains:

Combining the surfaces of the window opening and the free wall solves two problems at once - visually increases the available area and creates the illusion of the window for the entire length of the wall. In addition, an empty section of the wall is a canvas on which you can create any fantasy pattern.

What is the point to hide the beauty of curtains behind pieces of furniture? In this case, it is best to resort to a one-sided design and an asymmetrical openwork, at the same time visually adjusting the length of the short cornice.

If you need to drape windows and a balcony door, then for the decoration of the door glass a fixed curtain in the form of a bow is used, and as an addition - a one-sided decor. In this case, the color solution is formed from three shades of one line of the spectrum, and the combination of a rigid structure and a figured edge becomes an alternative to a sharp pattern.

No special need to darken the room with heavy curtains? Try a contrasting design! The window is half draped with dark translucent material, and the opposite corner is beaten up with an openwork lambrequin - this touch will give the curtain composition completeness.

Models of dense fabrics sometimes look too massive. It is possible to correct the defect with an interlaced frame with a ready-made pattern, complementing the design with angular segments.

Openwork lambrequins complete with pickups from similar fabric, decorated with identical patterns, look luxurious.For the kitchen, this solution is also convenient: the curtains fixed in the corners retain a neat look and at the same time look no less elegant than freely hanging canvases.
