Styling Damask Wallpaper for Fall

Damask patterns, originally created in woven silk, have been around for hundreds of years. Numerous technological advancements have brought them to more and more people and adapted them for all kinds of uses—including wallpaper! From hand-weaving to the Victorian-era Jacquard loom to today’s digital printing, damask patterns have stood the test of time. These richly patterned silks often passed along the Silk Road through the city of Damascus, where they earned their name. Today, you can add a touch of this traditional pattern to your space in a variety of ways! Read on for three ways to style these wallpapers.

Bring the Drama

Here, our Empire wallpaper creates a dark, dramatic, royal purple feature wall. The luxe tufted headboard, crisp white sheets, and gray velvet throw pillows are calm and inviting against this rich pattern. The silver lamp also sparkles in contrast to the dark wallpaper, adding a bit of shine. This indulgent bedroom is perfect for catching Zs worthy of royalty.

Choose a Sunny Hue

Unexpected colors bring new life to this traditional pattern. The bright, warm yellow is the perfect backdrop for displaying your houseplants and would beautifully brighten up an entryway or breakfast nook. As summer fades to fall, bring in the sun all year round with our Manchester damask wallpaper!

Go Tone-on-Tone

The subtle denim blue hues of our Imperial wallpaper mean this allover pattern takes a backseat to the rest of the space's decor. Since it’s medium blue, brighter items (like the artwork) and darker items (like the piano) still stand out against it, and the oversized motifs keep it from feeling too busy. Here, the adjoining room is painted a similar color for continuity throughout the space.
