Dark & Moody Damask Wallpaper for Hallways
Damask takes its name from woven silks traded through Damascus. Its mirrored, scrolling medallions bring formality and heritage character.
The hallway makes the first impression of your home. Pattern disguises scuffs and adds interest to a space you pass through many times a day.
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 16 original designs includes baroque damask, classic damask, heritage damask, regency damask. Highlights from the edit include Rigby Classic Damask, Dudley Heritage Damask, Elowen Heritage Damask.
Shown: Rigby Classic Damask Wallpaper in Dusky Plum.

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.
- Choose our scrubbable Premium paper for high-traffic areas.
- Hang damask centred on a chimney breast or bed so the medallions line up symmetrically.
How much will I need?
A typical hallway wall of about 5.0 m wide × 2.5 m high needs 10 drops. With a 64 cm pattern repeat you get 3 drops per 10 m roll, so you would order 4 rolls – from £176.80 on Standard paper to £290.16 on Luxe. Use the calculator on any product page for your exact walls.

Every design in this edit can be recoloured, rescaled and previewed on a photo of your own wall in Design Your Own, then printed made-to-measure.
