Tips for using Damask Print in your Interior Design
They were history for over a decade, Damask and Toile fabric looks. Their look was heavy and dated, screamed 1960′s decadence and 1970′s over-the-top decorating. An interesting thing happened in the last couple of years, they underwent a make over, I would even consider the new softer, less intense presentation that these prints can offer a window opening, chair or room. We are going to focus solely on black and white damask print. While the damask print is pretty traditional – the combination of black and white give it a very modern and chic edge. If you’re considering using damask and toile fabrics – you’ll definitely want to consider the black and white trend.
-Damask is actually a weaving technique of threads that creates a reversible pattern.

-High-end Damask in silk are coming back strong-though they tend to remind me of the earlier over-done look. Be careful with silk it can formalize anything faster than you think.
-Toile’s have been creeping back into vogue longer than Damask. Known to portray pastoral scenes and tales, they have been revamped with a fresh look-adding North American scenes. Old-line Toile’s were a mainstay in Britain, but now, many US based companies manufacture Toile fabrics and wallpapers.
