Lambrequins
Lambrequins offer a different look for your windows
A lambrequin is a unique type of window treatment that incorporates a rigid frame covered in fabric. Lambrequins typically hang from the top of a window. They are a great alternative to valances and pelmets, and look particularly impressive when hung above a roller blind or a Roman blind.
Lambrequins are currently quite popular in the interior design world, probably because they lend themselves to the minimalist window treatments that are all the rage. They are great for dressing up smaller windows and bathrooms. If you’re looking to dress up a window or two in your home, we recommend considering a lambrequin.
Making lambrequin curtains
If you’re interested in making a lambrequin, we recommend that you search online for directions. There are a number of excellent resources to be found. Poke around and you might find detailed instructions for the lambrequin of your dreams.
Remember that constructing a lambrequin is quite a bit different from sewing drapes. That’s not to say that you will need a set of power tools, but it’s important for you to realize that it will be closer to a carpentry project than a typical sewing project. You will likely require hot glue and staples. Remember – do you work in a workroom, not on your good dining room table.
