Pelmets in the bedroom

Window decoration is an important element of the bedroom decor. The bedroom needs a special comfort. That is why the use of lambrequin is important in this room. This creates comfort, completes the design of the room to sleep, closes the excess wall space, scatters too bright light.

The advantages of using lambrequins in the interior of a modern bedroom:

• this type of decor gives comfort, aesthetic completeness to the interior;
• helps to hide the irregularities of the window opening and walls;
• use is allowed in any kind of interior, except minimalism and Japanese style;
• the ability to independently produce;
• wide price range for ordering products from both natural fabrics and from artificial materials.

Despite the wide use of lambrequins, there are some features of the application of this type of decor:

• pelmet should take at least 20% of the window, so in dark rooms with low ceilings and small windows it is impractical to use;
• Lambrequin should not blend in color with the wall or carpet;
• the bedroom should be well ventilated in order to ventilate the fabric and prevent unpleasant odors from being absorbed by textiles;
• the final design of the window should be made upon completion of the finishing of the entire room using design modeling programs.

Types of lambrequins are classified depending on the technique:

• on a frame or a rigid base - a gang;
• soft - swag, de jabot, bell, tie, trifolium, chill, perekid;
• combined - connection of a rigid basis and corrugated soft folds.

Technique gang is to fix the fabric products on non-woven base. Bando closes the entire eaves. Lambrequins of this type have been used by designers since the beginning of the 17th century. Bando gives sophistication and makes any interior expensive and rich.

Often gangs are a continuation of the ceiling, which with their help seems to flow over the walls.Bando can be horizontal and vertical. Vertical view is rarely used to replace curtains and is very expensive to produce. A horizontal gang is an appropriate solution for a bedroom, as it closes part of the window, preventing the ingress of excessive light.

Soft lambrequins are draped fabric laid in a variety of semicircle folds, vertical columns, conical single folds, sockets, etc. The folds are evenly distributed along the eaves.

Lambrequins can be made in any style and complement any interior. The exception is the minimalist style and interiors with Japanese motifs.

A certain stylistic classification does exist: classical, with decorative elements, without decorative elements, and combined.

• Classic lambrequin - this is a narrow strip of fabric on the frame without assemblies or on a hard drape tape that covers the cornice and part of the frame.As a rule, the classical lambrequin is made of dense fabric.
• Pompous classic palace style involves the use of decorative ornaments and inserts in lambrequins, as well as various types of complex drapery fabrics (tie, bell, etc.).

• Lambrequins without decorative elements differ from classical ones using complex textures of fabrics, corrugated materials, depending on the style of the room.
• Combined lambrequin style permissible to use on windows with a large area. In this case, mixed with the classic style and a variety of textures of fabrics, draperies, decorative elements and ornaments, various types of lambrequins.

Soft lambrequins are differentiated by the form of draperies:

• de jabot - looks like a piece of clothing jabot. For the manufacture of using transparent or flowing fabrics that keep their shape well folds. The ends of the de jabot cut diagonally, reach the middle of the window or window sill;
• swag - fabric assemblies in the form of semicircles, arranged mirror to each other or asymmetrically;
• chill mold - a type of lambrequin with a central acute angle of vertical folds,the sides of the product ends with folds of semicircles. This view is used on large windows;
• tie - breaks the classic swag semi-circles with vertical stripes with a beveled triangular bottom;
• bell - a large fold of matter in the form of a bell. It is applied both in classical design, and in style of a country or Provence.

The quality and aesthetic appearance of lambrequin largely depend on the correct fabric. To decorate the window looked organically with the style performance of the bedroom, the material must be in harmony with the textiles in the room, be contrast or in tone with tulle.

A number of matters that are categorically not suitable for use because of their texture and density:

• brocade;
• taffeta;
• wool with lavsan;
• fabrics with water-repellent impregnation;
• matter of coarse weaving.

In the manufacture of lambrequin on a dense basis should be selected dense fabric without a sliding base, for example, cotton fabric, satin, velor. Natural dense fabric makes it easy to achieve the desired look of a gang, and to care for such a product is much easier than for artificial materials.

For a soft type of lambrequin, any kind of soft, flowing fabric that is easy to lay in the folds will do:

• veil;
• organza;
• silk;
• satin;
• chiffon;
• linen.

Color pelmets plays an important role in the final completion of the style of the entire bedroom. Naturally, the color should be in harmony with the design of the room. The choice of colors and patterns is limited only by fantasy, but still psychologists do not recommend using red in the bedroom.

• green;
• yellow;
• blue;
• blue.

Color can be selected by the tone of tulle, under the shade of the walls or the main textiles bedroom. The hue of the lambrequin must be selected a few tones darker than the walls, textiles or carpet, then the window design will stand out from the general palette, attract attention and visually enlarge the room.In this case, you can choose a monophonic material without a pattern or textured.

Lambrequin fabric pattern can be selected in a dialog with a wallpaper, carpet or tulle pattern. Actual designs that are increasingly offered by designers for window decoration in the bedroom are floral motifs. Large floral patterns should be used in large bedrooms.

When ordering lambrequin should consider the height of the ceiling in the bedroom. In low rooms it is necessary to use a narrow strip of light, openwork fabric 15-20 cm. In a standard apartment with a ceiling height of 2 m 70 cm the lambrequin can be 25-40 cm. In new-plan apartments with high ceilings from 2.90 to 3 meters the lambrequin can be more 40 cm. On average, the length of the lambrequin is 1/4 - 1/5 of the length of tulle.

Each designer pays special attention to the design and design of the window. Selecting the color and texture of the bedspread, bed and lambrequin is a fashionable design direction. This choice looks very stylish and as a single set.

Complex models of lambrequins can act as an independent window decoration, but nevertheless tulle and curtains serve as the basis for the decor.Lambrequins of different types are harmoniously combined from any fabric with transparent tulle. Light tulle creates the effect of airiness, and lambrequin drape scatters direct sunlight and completes the design of the window opening. The combination of tulle and pelmet creates comfort and harmony in the bedroom.

Fashionable is the use of identical patterns of tulle or curtains on the fabric pelmet. The monophonic material of a lambrequin looks impressively several tones darker than a tulle with a pattern. This technique adds depth and volume to the window. Romantic atmosphere creates a simple tulle in tandem with lace or curly lambrequins.

The status of the bedroom will give a thick fold of transparent tulle paired with lambrequin of dense fabrics with glitter (satin, velvet).

Textile windows for the bedroom - the final stage of the decor, which follows after all the finishing work.
