damask

One of my favorite classic patterns is damask. It’s easily most appropriate for home decor, as I have only once found the perfect skirt and magically scored a hoodie from Target last year.

I really like the graphic nature of this pattern and how well it can fit as an accent in almost any setting. It can be dressed up to feel luxurious or can be approached casually. It’s all about how you present it and what size, pattern, tonal qualities and degree of contrast you choose. Color combinations have also gotten more bold recently.

Here’s a list of affordable damask print items for your home that I’ve managed to dig up:

• Set of 4 salad plates from Pottery Barn in a rare autumn hue.
• Pretty adorable switchplate to spruce up a lightswitch, or 3
• Teal and brown damask wool rugs in all sizes on sale at Horchow.
• One of many damask stencils available to do an inexpensive wall treatment. (Oh, and this chandelier stencil is being used everywhere right now!!!)
• A $2 4.25″ rubber stamp
• PILLOWS: classic shabby chic that reverses to a lattice pattern – these are a super modern take on the pattern, in silk, and a bit more expensive – at Amazon.
• Tons of fabric colors to make your own designs with! I’m really excited about this special fabric with animals embedded into the pattern! Two color variations, avaiable at two places. Blue & Black.
• A 16-piece dinnerware set at Target! I really like the modern take with the off-center placement and close-ups.
• Candle holders of sandblasted glass with a rich textural feel.
• Target also has a comforter set that I looooooove! (and curtains)

• Never forget Etsy – at this time, 127 pages of things I can’t even begin to imagine!
