A Little About......Damask

When you think about Damask what springs to mind? An old country house? A stately home? Or perhaps a beautiful national trust building?

For many of us, that is what the word “Damask” would mean, there is an old quality even to the name. But don’t forgot what was once old can be reinvented into the new

.

For me a damask print has always been a timeless classic, something that will always be a staple. Like the “little black dress” or that one film you just have to watch, over and over again, it will always stand the test of time.

When thinking of a Damask the first thing that needs to be remembered is, with any timeless piece, there will always be something to suit your own style. Be it a classical look brought to you by Arthouse with their Da Vinci Damask in black, Malmaison Damask by Zoffany in black and cream, simple, elegant and seductive.

On the other end of the scale you have the big, bold and bright look of the Damask by Eijffinger it’s larger, over sized style with subtle tones of pink, mixed with a metallic silver print. Then you have TimorousBeasties, the company which will always deliver something that little bit special, with their deep black print on top of a bright yet modern, pink background, creating a different kind of elegance to a space.

 This is why this was the perfect choice for a final collection, the idea of my own damask, done in my own style; but keeping the elegance that drew me in to begin with. 

This collection consisted of Damask in all forms. 

The modern, the tried and tested, and something completely of my own design. Collating all of the ever changing styles of Damask into one collection (which obviously) would be perfect for any home.

So if you are looking for something that little bit classic or even that little bit quirky, to fit within those rooms that you just don’t know what to do with, look no further than a reinvention of an everlasting classic.
