Curtains with a lambrequin do not lose their relevance; we will look at a photo of this decorative element with a detailed description of its features in this article.
The main property of this design element, which attracts most homeowners, is its openwork and lightness of appearance. Lambrequins will be an excellent addition when decorating a room in the Baroque style; they look great in rooms with a luxurious design.
Openwork lambrequins originally emphasize the design of curtains
This type of textile product allows you to very harmoniously disguise all possible shortcomings that window openings have. For example, if the window has any flaws in terms of plaster or the texture of the window partitions themselves is slightly damaged, then this type of decor will mask the flaws very well.
Advice! Of course, in order for them to look as harmonious as possible, it is important to correctly combine them with the main style of the room design. If we are talking about modern room design, then the lambrequins will have a slightly different shape than in a room with royal furnishings.
Some skeptics are sure that openwork lambrequins are only suitable for luxurious palaces or huge country houses, well, in extreme cases, a spacious apartment with high ceilings. I would like to immediately dispel this myth; today, experienced designers have developed quite a lot of design solutions that allow you to harmoniously combine lambrequins with an interior made in any style.
Openwork lambrequins traditionally imitate forging and are great for classic interiors

What are lambrequins?
Craftsmen have always used beautiful folds and carved patterns to decorate windows. A panel with lace inserts was attached to a baguette to give the composition more grace.
Openwork lambrequins are not just decoration, they are a functional element that covers the fastening of curtains. Swirl strip strips do a great job of filling the top of the wall near the ceiling. Carved products made from practical materials do not need frequent washing. It is enough to sometimes wipe them with a slightly damp sponge. The felt surface is vacuumed about once a month.
Product Features
- The production of openwork lambrequins using the laser cutting method ensures perfectly smooth edges and precise detailing of even the most complex ornaments.
- Guarantee of long-term operation of all products.
- Bandon lambrequins require special care or regular washing. All you have to do is wipe off the dust with a damp sponge and they will look like new again!
- To secure the lambrequin with Velcro, simply lean it against the cornice.
How windows are designed
The lace design of the window opening is the result of design experiments. The elegance of patterns in the Art Nouveau style, the curls of Vologda and Romanian lace gave the openwork lambrequins a lot of original elements.
The idea of adding soft linings to curtains has been known since Baroque times. Carved wooden baguettes became popular in the second half of the 19th century. Openwork strips for the cornice, carved felt overlays, and a bandeau lambrequin are modern elements.
Designers of curtain compositions regularly offer fresh ideas in addition to traditional solutions. Original window decoration solutions can make the interior of a country house or city apartment inimitable. Combined lambrequins are the most attractive; they combine elements of different complexity. Parts with soft folds - swags, molds, interceptions - are attached to the rigid base.

Important criteria for selecting finished products
Not so long ago, multi-layer curtains returned to fashion, so the production of openwork lambrequins was launched.
- the length and width of the decorative element depends on the format of the window opening, the purpose of the room and its area (for a small kitchen, a carved triangle or an elegant strip is suitable);
- to visually expand the space of a bedroom or nursery, you need a cornice that occupies the entire wall;
- for the hall or living room the most expensive decor is selected, for other rooms something more modest is suitable;
- the color may differ from the main palette; a contrasting shade or a slightly darker shade of curtains and accessories for them will do;
- the format of the decoration and the complexity of the ornament should emphasize the style;
- You shouldn’t overload the windows with decor; it’s unreasonable for the patterns to dazzle your eyes.
When choosing carved decor, you should think about the practicality of what cleaning method the curtains need with the addition of a new module. The easiest way to clean a hard plank is with a sponge and household products. Soft lambrequins can only be vacuumed.
Basic tools for creating window decorations
- The fabric chosen for the given room, lining material - if necessary.
- Threads (it is more convenient to baste with bright ones, matching the color of the fabric - for sewing).
- Needle, scissors, pins, etc.
- Sewing machine.
- Ruler and chalk, tape measure.
- Most likely you will need bias tape and a border with fastenings for the cornice, but here it all depends on the chosen shape of the lambrequin.
- Experience. If you have no sewing skills at all, then they will be difficult for a novice needlewoman. It’s worth choosing the simplest option, without decorative elements, to begin with.
- Availability of space. Since the work is quite voluminous, the floor will be an ideal option if there is no large table.
First way. How to make an openwork lambrequin with your own hands
No matter how complex the pattern of the decorative overlay may be, anyone who has the skills to work with fabrics can do it. There is a detailed video tutorial on how to make an openwork lambrequin with your own hands (at the top of the article).
If you have the ability, the easiest way is to copy a sketch from a beautiful illustration. You can take a ready-made template, enlarge it, print it on a printer, or make a stencil. This will be the pattern for the openwork lambrequins, as in the picture.
To work, you will need thick fabric that matches the format of the carved element; scraps from curtains will do. It will be placed with the front side facing the room, so check where the back side is. On this side, the base is sealed with a special lining (dublerin, non-woven fabric, preferably the same color). This backing will stick after ironing without steam.
A stencil or pattern is applied to the compacted workpiece to mark the perforations - the holes that form the pattern. It is difficult to cut through lined fabric with scissors without damaging it. With synthetics, it is convenient to use a household electrical appliance for burning patterns with the smallest nozzle.
A solid ribbon with a curly loose edge can be slightly scorched with matches - synthetic threads shrink from the fire. The finished openwork lambrequin can be attached with Velcro to the cornice.
Openwork lambrequins with laser processing
Materials with loose edges must be carefully overlaid or overcast with your own hands. The process takes a lot of time, and not all seamstresses can process the edges manually. It is much easier to take bandeau fabric (synthetic felt), this is a suitable base for a hard lambrequin with laser processing (perforation).
Most studios have a laser cutting machine. It makes it much easier to make a carved design on any material. Openwork overlays made of synthetic felt are made according to preliminary markings, then perforation is performed with a cutter.
How to make a lambrequin from cord and wire
A beautiful decoration for curtains can be made without fabric. For an openwork lambrequin made of cord, you will need steel or aluminum wire, which is tightly wrapped around a silky braid.
Textile decor is offered in specialized stores for handicrafts:
- silk tassels and cords;
- fringed braid;
- large beads, crystals;
- border with tassels, bells;
- satin ribbons for fixing curtains.
All this is used as a basis for wire structures or applications on a rigid lambrequin.
First you need to draw a template, maintaining mirror symmetry. A wire should be laid out along it, tightly wrapped with a cord, which is glued to “liquid nails” at the ends.
At the junction of several flexible elements, the cords are hemmed from the inside out with thin fishing line or matching silk thread. You can add tassels, pebbles or beads to the finished product, as in the photographs.

Types of lambrequins
Elegant lambrequins with openwork patterns differ in the manufacturing method:
- modular or shaped products;
- strip and strip lambrequins (with alternating identical patterns along the entire length).
Modular
Working with combined decorations can be difficult, but the finished curtain composition will impress with its beauty. Modular lambrequins differ from roll ones in that they are formed from individual elements that can be arranged in different ways.
Openwork modules are arranged in different ways:
- horizontally (in the center of the composition, along the entire length of the cornice);
- vertically (at the edges, mirror-symmetrical), in the middle (like a single tulle decoration).
Solid lambrequins with an expressive pattern are attached to small hooks of the cornice, like any other element of the curtain composition.
Plank
Tape or strip lambrequins cover the multi-level fastening of tulle and curtains. This decor is not complicated in design. It resembles a wallpaper border, but is much tougher and features a beautiful openwork pattern.
Applications
In some cases, a volumetric element in the center of the composition is appropriate on the cornice. You can create entire compositions from multi-colored parts. Volumetric appliqué also looks good in the corners if the curtains are positioned symmetrically.

Materials
The sample you like in the picture can be made with your own hands if you have a suitable base. For openwork lambrequins, you need a hard material - thick fabric, decorative plywood or a metal rod entwined with a silk cord.
Felt
Compressed materials made from synthetic fibers are an ideal basis for carved decor. Do not heat-treat (burning or laser cutting) natural felt; natural wool has a specific smell.
Only a synthetic analogue is used (polyester or nylon), it can be cut with a stationery knife or carpenter's cutter. It has a high density, so it is not necessary to place the loose edge, it is better to lightly burn it.
Cords
Cord fringe, tiebacks and braid are used not only as accessories for finishing and supporting curtains. They are used to make beautiful openwork on wire.
Software
Some types of openwork strips are made from new materials. The software resembles velvet paper or cardboard with a matte velor surface.
Tree
Wooden baguette strip is an expensive basis for luxury curtains. High-quality laminated plywood will help reduce the cost of window opening design. Apply an openwork stencil, transfer the design to the workpiece and cut it out with a jigsaw.
Chanzelize
Double-sided curtain fabric is a new generation synthetic textile resembling satin. Smooth, pleasant to the touch, the new product with a French name is suitable for glossy lambrequins with perforations.
Interior design ideas
Complex compositions require a thoughtful solution. Expensive openwork lambrequins are impractical and not suitable for every room, so not every choice is justified.
Kitchen
In this room, functionality comes first, practicality is more important than aesthetics. An openwork baguette strip made of washable material is quite appropriate in the kitchen interior, without any additions.
Living room
In the reception room you can afford more luxury than in other rooms. Design experiments with openwork inserts on combined lambrequins are appropriate. They go well with soft draperies (svagami, crossovers, molds).
Bedroom
The romantic atmosphere in the privacy room will be emphasized by a spectacular lambrequin with 2-3 carved elements on the sides.
Children's
In this room, nothing should distract the child’s attention when going to bed. It is better to limit yourself to a laconic satin ribbon “chanzelize” on the cornice or symmetrical felt details.
conclusions
Lace curtains are the best way to decorate the interior of a room, making the atmosphere cozy, soft and elegant.
Translucent material can be called the most functional, especially when it is necessary to emphasize the play of light with the help of a beautiful chandelier - curtains will help create unique lighting effects.
From luxurious designer to stylish and simple. Today, homeowners have a huge selection of lace curtains to suit every taste and budget.
Stylistic options
The elegance of openwork lambrequins can update a thoughtful style solution. They look great in laconic minimalism, extravagant art deco, luxurious baroque.
Classic
Multi-layer curtains add their own flavor to an elite interior with precise proportions. In this case, openwork inserts made of dense fabric can become the basic component of window decor.
Modern
General urbanization and new technologies are the main idea of hi-tech, loft or urban minimalism. There is a tendency to simplify textile compositions. They do not always have room for openwork additions, with the exception of rolled lambrequins. They complement the curtains with scallops, as in the photo.
Modern
There is a distinction between modern style and modernism, which reigned in art at the beginning of the twentieth century. Modern in translation means “modern”. The era of decadence (decadence) gave birth to the Art Nouveau style - with asymmetry and grace of lines. The characteristic “modern” design looks good on a wire lambrequin or a wooden insert with handmade carvings.
Folds
Folds are:
Jabot. Soft one-sided folds on one side, and on the other in the form of a falling wave. The shape is oblique, multi-layered, double. The cut and sewing is very simple, which makes it possible to widely use it in decorating curtains.
13
Swag. Freely sagging arcuate horizontal folds. Sometimes there are also vertical ones. Can be framed with decorative elements.
Transfer. A decorative element included in the combination of most lambrequins. In form it is the same swag, only there is a certain space between the arcs in this element. Easy to make and looks great in any combination.
12
Tie or bell. A narrow strip of fabric folded vertically. In appearance it resembles a men's tie.
Coquille. A decorative detail like a frill is only doubled. It can be with an elongated middle or vice versa. The folds are made in opposite directions.
Lambrequin design
To create something original, you will have to review a lot of other examples of window design with carved patterns. As a basis, you can take various style solutions, lambrequins with monograms, floral patterns, and curls.
It doesn’t matter whether the pattern is complex or simple, it’s worth thinking through all the steps - from the sketch to the method of fixation. The slightest inaccuracy or the wrong decision about how best to hang a finished element can ruin the results of your work.
With flowers
A rigid lambrequin is often complemented with overhead elements. You can sew voluminous flowers made of shiny or matte fabrics, attached to an openwork lambrequin, yourself.
Ready-made leaves and artificial flower petals are suitable. They are attached on top of drawn or embroidered outlines. It is better to cover the joints with beads and ribbon knots.
Two-color
The easiest way to complement a two-color combination is to apply an openwork ribbon to the surface of the baguette. It is better to combine the light part with the darker part, so the pattern will be even more expressive.
Bright shades do not go well with a pastel palette. Shades that are close in degree of saturation are recommended. Dark or contrasting edging should be in harmony with other elements of the fabric.
Asymmetric
Among the most interesting ideas for the design of balcony windows are asymmetrical lambrequins. Most often these are multi-layer compositions that combine hard and soft parts plus an openwork module on the opposite side of the passage to the loggia.
With rhinestones and on one side
It is important to observe moderation when decorating a room with shiny or shimmering additions to a patterned lambrequin. It is better to place pebbles or beads in the form of an edging of an openwork ribbon attached to the cornice.
You should not sew rhinestones all over the surface, it may look tasteless.
On a window with a window or in a passage with a balcony door, it is easy to touch the lambrequin part with your hand. Single-sided inserts with patterned elements are suitable.
Modern style
Modern design only favors lace curtains with ornate openwork patterns on the windows. Such a design will bring airiness and lightness to the surrounding environment.

Combination with curtains
Variability in window design does not imply rigid boundaries. Bold experiments are acceptable to find those duets that are in harmony with the openwork details of the lambrequins.
Drapes and curtains
The classic duet “curtain + tulle” or thick fabric for hall curtains with a veil can be complemented with a lambrequin with openwork modules in a contrasting color. These details are perceived much more interesting in artificial light; during the day, the drawing looks more modest.
A beautiful curtain does not need to be complemented by a day/night curtain, with the exception of the bedroom. An ornate wire overlay entwined with silk cords will suit a classic baguette with a spectacular curtain.
Roller blinds
The lifting type of curtain fits perfectly into the design of a small kitchen. In this duet, a cornice ribbon with lace perforation, reminiscent of the cutwork embroidery technique, is appropriate.
Roman curtains
The Italian style of kitchen curtains is considered very common. Roman blinds go well with rigid “bandeaus” or a patterned baguette strip, as in the photo.
Non-standard window shapes
Private houses differ from city apartments in their original layout and non-standard window openings. Instead of curtain rods, brackets, suction cups, and Velcro are sometimes used. They can ruin the entire aesthetics of the window. They have to be covered with patterned lambrequins.
Bay window
The most difficult thing is to choose a design for alternating bay windows. An example in the photo is the author's design of the hall curtains with patterned felt overlays under the cornice.
Arch
Many architects claim that arched windows are the most beautiful, but they are the most difficult to decorate with tulle. A simple way is to fix the curtain with small brackets along the arch line, hiding the fastening with a lambrequin or openwork felt module.
A rigid gang for a non-standard window is attached to the ceiling cornice; there may be suction cups or Velcro underneath it, which is better to hide.
For two windows
The ornate decor for two openings should be mirror-symmetrical or identical in design. The duo looks good, where curtains with identically shaped tiebacks on different sides are complemented by vertical patterned elements.
It is important to be selective when choosing an original design, having good taste. A selection of illustrations in the interior gives a general idea of the use of this type of decor; there may be other options.
Which curtains to choose
When choosing lace curtains, most people mistakenly believe that they will suit an interior decorated in the style of the Victorian era. However, this is not at all true - lace looks great in both modern and classic interiors.
This is a durable and reliable material, despite its external lightness and airiness. These curtains are easy to care for.
Just put them in the washing machine, select the delicate cycle and wash in cool water, then hang to dry. When choosing curtains, designers recommend choosing a little longer. This gives a luxurious effect to the room.
