Damask vs Arts & Crafts Wallpaper: What's the Difference?

Quick answer

Damask: Damask takes its name from woven silks traded through Damascus. Arts & Crafts: The Arts & Crafts movement championed hand-craft and nature, producing densely layered foliage patterns. In practice: Hang damask centred on a chimney breast or bed so the medallions line up symmetrically. Perfect for period homes, snugs and dining rooms. Our range has 105 damask and 125 arts & crafts designs.
