Openwork lambrequins, echoing the ornamental elements of the Baroque style (luxurious carved ornate details), look elegant and allow you to solve a lot of practical problems - for example, to mask the flaws in the architecture of window openings.

Many are sure that only an expensive palace interior is a suitable place for an amazing carved accessory. Well, this misconception is easy to dispel! We offer you a selection of photos with examples of openwork lambrequins in the interior.

Kinds

Today there are 2 types of openwork lambrequins: curly accessories and strips on the eaves.

Solution for every room

To complement the curtains with an openwork lambrequin would be appropriate in almost any room. The only limitation is their use in the kitchen: humidity and periodic temperature rise can adversely affect the appearance of the carved element. However, if the room is equipped with a powerful modern hood, there are no obstacles to choosing a stylish decor!

Openwork lambrequins of any type do not weigh down the curtains, have an affordable cost and are suitable for all cornices.

The advantages of these accessories include:

• practicality;
• a huge selection of colors and shapes;
• simple fastening.

These decorative elements do not make the curtains heavier at all, rather, on the contrary, they give them lightness.

Lambrequins and window sizes

Figured ornament is able to change the size of the window - albeit only visually.

Lambrequin, located above the opening and occupying the entire wall, lengthens the window. In order not to “lose” the proportions and, as a result, not to get a tall but narrow window, you should give preference to a long cornice: the curtains should frame the window without blocking it even a centimeter!

Too narrow a window can be masked by a combination of an openwork lambrequin and a curtain fabric laid in a fold in the background. The drapery will "eat" the extra space without causing a feeling of clutter due to the openwork ornament.

Three rules of choice

1. 1 Color .
   • The first winning option is to choose a shade that dominates the color scheme of the room. It is not necessary to choose a tone-on-tone lambrequin with curtains - it is enough for the fabrics to harmonize.
   • Playing on the contrast of color and texture is a great way to highlight the lambrequin against the curtain fabric in the background. In a classic interior, the gamut "brown - gold" and "beige - dark" is often used. The only thing worth taking care of is a couple of accessories, the shape and color of which echoes the carved decor of the curtains.
2. 2 Shape . There is only one rule here - the smaller the room, the simpler the ornament. Choose a lambrequin based on the style of the room: today the assortment allows you to find an accessory of a suitable shape even for a minimalist interior!
3. Size 3 . The width of the product will depend on what "visual" size of the window you want to end up with. The smaller the window in reality, the greater part of the wall should be occupied by a lambrequin.

An openwork lambrequin is a noticeable element of any interior! Spend enough time choosing this accessory, taking into account all the recommendations, and the room will “play out” in a completely new way.
