A departure from the canons, window decoration is sometimes very useful. It's about asymmetry - curtains are an extremely useful and attractive option. Why and whether it is worth using such models in the interiors of rooms for different purposes - details in the article.
Brief definition
If for the townsfolk, the phrase - one-sided curtains does not mean anything and raises a lot of questions, you should disassemble it in detail.
In order for each of them to drape beautifully on one side, the mount on the cornice must be rigid. For this, a bar with fixed hooks is used.
- Provence, country are decorated with single-layer curtains. The best option would be a lambrequin on one side. The structure is important - chintz, linen or silk of a sunny color - this is for him. Minimalism, high-tech welcomes light white tulle, coupled with roller blinds on the window. The main accent will be the fabric on the sashes - organza will soften the severity of the style.
If the owners of the apartment are not strong in defining the style or it is not planned to create it on purpose, then they follow the canons of the classics - the color is matched to the walls, differing from it by several tones, the size is focused on the height of the ceilings, the structure of the fabric is optional. One-sided curtains for the living room in a modern style in a light shade and natural quality are an excellent solution.
Choice of one-sided curtains
To visually imagine how this or that room will look when decorated with canvases on one side, below are recommendations for decorating each room in an apartment or house. So:
Regardless of the style, a curtain on one side of the window, made of printed fabric, arranged on a cornice with a rigid attachment, is a win-win option. To create layering, a lambrequin or tulle is used. It is located inside the window opening or just below the level of the window sill.
The sophisticated version is a one-sided macrame style - a thin knitted fabric made of cotton threads. Collected on one side, it will emphasize the Art Nouveau style in a country house. On large windows, or in living rooms with double light, it looks like a king.
Bedroom
Traditionally, the room is designed for privacy and quiet pastime without distracting external factors - strong sunlight, heat. Accordingly, the fabric is dense, without gaps, and dark. colors on one side are the perfect solution.
In general, in a bedroom with a balcony - a one-sided canvas is appropriate, like no other. All wishes were met - free entry and exit and high-quality cover. natural fabrics or at least their imitations.
With a standard ceiling height of 2.5 m, one-sided curtains for the bedroom are chosen to the floor or even below its level. Low ceilings with such canvases will decrease, therefore, they are matched with a height below the windowsill and nothing more. If the height exceeds the usual parameters, then they are inappropriate, but long ones will stretch the room even more - a golden mean is required. The installation of a cornice below the window opening will help to balance the bedroom.
Kitchen
Using a kitchen curtain on one side is very practical. This is especially good when the window is adjacent to the work area. When decorating a kitchen window with the usual option, the curtain strip gets dirty, overdried, constantly moistened.
Fixing the cornice with one canvas will save the hostess from all this - the processes will not leave a trace on the canvas, which is not close to the slab.
An interesting option for using a one-sided curtain in the kitchen in the form of a lambrequin. Fixation, in the traditional sense, does not occur - a strip of fabric is wound on the cornice, swags are formed, and are fixed with rod restraints. The edge of the lambrequin hangs down from one edge with a tie. Such a canvas cannot be single - an additional layer in the form of tulle or a roller curtain is required.
Accessories
Of course, these are primarily decorative woven tie-backs fixed on one of the walls. They are chosen almost invisibly, or, conversely, stand out - they themselves are a worthy element of window decoration. In addition to them, the following options are used, no less worthy:
An unconventional pickup will be a flower scarf located in the right side of the window opening. It remains only to make a loop on the curtain, and gently bending the edge, hook the fabric on the stand.

Whatever the curtain is on one side for a bedroom, kitchen or living room, you should choose the fabric, accessories and fastening method as you wish. Harmony with the interior is important, but if the design does not cause satisfaction, you will have to change it - the canvases are out of place, they will be discordant with everything in the apartment or house. You should not rush to make a choice - a thoughtful approach is a guarantee of quality.
Window decoration plays an important role. This element of the house is a connecting detail of the external and internal space of the house, a source of clean air and natural light.
But this kind of functionality should be beautifully presented. Lambrequins will help to cope with this.
Lambrequins are often used to hide flaws in window frames, to divert attention from the fastening of curtains and tulles. It is an elaborately designed fabric panel that hangs over curtains.
The creation of this beautiful decor component can be as simple or complex depending on the type, model. Consider the popular variations of the implementation of lambrequins.
Variations
Before you start sewing lambrequins, you need to choose a base option, and it happens:
- Soft;
- Tough;
- Combined;
- Curly.
Soft - a mixture of both thin and thick fabric base. The surface can be leveled or folded, and the bottom of the panel is straight.
Decorate with decorative flowers, satin bows, bugles, lace, make curly folds. They are also draped with braid, ribbons or thrown over the cornice.
Rigid lambrequin - performed on a durable adhesive material (proklamin, non-woven), plastic and wood are also suitable. The pomp of this option is achieved by giving an unusual curly shape and edging, framing.
Combined - combines a thick, dense base and supplemented with auxiliary elements with a thin, soft fabric.
Curly - a base with a massive, voluminous pattern and characteristic holes. From such a basis, openwork lambrequins are made, the execution of the pattern of which is carried out by burning out with laser equipment. This view does not burden the space.
Sewing decorative lambrequins. Sample templates
The panels are varied in their design. They can be decorated with different drapery materials, swagas. Before sewing them, you need to familiarize yourself with the templates and decorative elements of the product.
The swagi element is a semicircle made of thin fabric with characteristic folds. Semi-swag - the same swag, only with a hole in the upper half.
A decorative de jabot element in soft fabric that is located on the sides and includes an elaborate bevel and folds.
Tie - this element is formed by stitching 2 frills along the side seam.
Instructions for making templates
Be sure to leave room for the side and top edging (up to 3 cm), for the bottom about 12 cm.
The allowances are varied, depending on the details. For example, for such an element as swags, the floor of a circle is drawn on special paper and folds are added, while calculating the cost of material.
Making a panel from a rigid base
For a rigid panel, we need a wooden box, if its weight is very large, then you need to take a closed one to provide a solid support. The components include the facade, mount and shelf. The facade is made of wood.
Note!
In addition, we need:
- Fabric cut out on a pattern with gaps up to 4cm.
- A sheet of thin foam, cut to the size of a panel, but with an allowance of up to 5 cm.
- Backing material, also cut from the pattern with 2 cm gaps for full-panel hem.
- Fastening tools (glue, stapler).
Panel making instructions
The padding material is glued to the facade and to the side of the wooden box. Cut off unnecessary details.
The fabric is attached to the base. If the fabric is with a large pattern, then it is shifted to the middle.
The lower edge is also attached so that nothing sticks out on the bends, you need to cut off the excess.
The most popular and skillful lambrequins are openwork
Having studied equally complex rigid lambrequins, we learn to make an original model - an openwork lambrequin. More and more attention is paid to them, as they will give the room softness, weightlessness.
