Dark & Moody Damask Wallpaper for Bedrooms
Damask takes its name from woven silks traded through Damascus. Its mirrored, scrolling medallions bring formality and heritage character.
Bedrooms are the perfect place to experiment because they are private and lived in mostly at night. A papered wall behind the bed acts like an oversized headboard.
Dark and moody wallpaper makes rooms feel cocooning and dramatic, and paradoxically can make small rooms feel larger as the corners recede.
Our edit of 11 original designs includes baroque damask, classic damask, heritage damask, regency damask. Highlights from the edit include Dudley Heritage Damask, Dorrit Baroque Damask, Elowen Heritage Damask.

Styling tips
- Tone-on-tone damask is a sophisticated backdrop for antiques; high-contrast versions suit modern gothic or maximalist schemes.
- Use warm lamps rather than overhead light to make dark walls glow.
- Calming palettes and organic patterns help bedrooms feel restful.
- Hang damask centred on a chimney breast or bed so the medallions line up symmetrically.
How much will I need?
A typical bedroom wall of about 3.6 m wide × 2.4 m high needs 7 drops. With a 64 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 3 rolls – from £132.60 on Standard paper to £217.62 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.
