Damask Wallpaper: An All-Time Classic
Damask is a timeless design inspired by a woven cloth style dating back to the Middle Ages. Once the fabric of choice for royal families, everything about damask implies opulence and luxury. Once upon a time, damask was woven in one of five unique techniques passed down through generations. Modern damask is still popular in fabrics for furniture, draperies, bedding, and even clothing. Damask wallpaper is an expansive category. Damask wallpaper has exploded in popularity in recent years, leading to its creation in countless styles in every size, color, and material. That means damask wallpaper has something for every taste, and every room of your home—from assertive to muted, for hallways or formal dining rooms—there's even damask wallpaper that looks great in bathrooms!
When you think of damask wallpaper, you might recall rich deep tones and regal designs, something decidedly old-fashioned, or purposefully distressed. There's a time and place for those classics, but today's damask wallpaper can be found in updated designs, fresh color choices and with an overly modern vibe. A single wall of a contemporary damask design can make all the difference in a bedroom. Or, try an unexpectedly fun damask pattern in a playroom or family room. Use damask wallpaper for a splash of color, or give a staircase or hallway a quiet elegance.
A
few basic rules apply when selecting damask wallpaper. First, consider the size and shape of your
room. A small room may be overwhelmed by
large patterns, while delicate patterns may get lost in a larger space. In addition to color, damask is largely
defined by contrast. Subtle colors
and low-contrast patterns
will create a very different effect than sharp contrast or highly saturated
hues. In the end, there's no right or
wrong way to utilize damask wallpaper.
It's all about getting the look you want. With hundreds of years of history at their
backs, damask is more than ready to do its part for your home.
