Damask fabric for a luxurious look
If you are wanting to create a luxurious look then look no further than using damask fabric. Look for silk damask fabric and use for a curtain fabric using regal colours such as ruby red, deep purple and emerald green. For a more opulent feel have as full-length curtains and use with an interlining for added elegance. Add tie-backs as a finishing touch and to complete the formal look. Silk fabric can be expensive so for a more affordable option look for a faux silk fabric.
Reversible and durable damask fabric
Many damasks can be used as an upholstery fabric and would be great for covering a chair or sofa, a raspberry damask fabric would make a real statement. If you are using them for fixed upholstery then you are likely to need the fabric treated to make it fire retardant - check with your upholsterer. Self patterned versions are ideal for loose covers and will add some texture and interest rather than using a completely plain fabric.
Traditional style and elegance
Damask fabric is the perfect choice if you want to create a traditional interior that will exude opulence and style. This versatile fabric is reversible – top tip – make sure your curtain maker or upholsterer knows which side you want to use! If using for curtains then use a formal heading such as triple pinch pleat
Accessorise with cushions
Damask fabric also looks great when made into cushions and will add a sense of style to a formal living room or when piled high on a bed in a traditionally styled bedroom. Damask fabric comes in a variety of colours so there is sure to be one that fits in with your scheme. Coordinate with other materials such as velvet fabric, chenille or silk for a sumptuous and relaxed look.
If you don’t want to completely redecorate your room use cushions to give your room a quick update.
