What is Damask Paper?

Damask is an Arabic word for a reversible figured fabric of silk, wool, linen, cotton, or synthetic fibres, with a pattern formed by weaving. Damasks always looks symmetrical and can look two toned because they are woven with one warp yarn and one weft yarn, usually with the pattern in warp-faced satin weave and the ground in weft-faced or sateen weave. The Damask design is particularly striking which is why our fantastic damask border paper will surely enhance and enrich your project work. As it comes in such a variety of colours and patterns the different looks that can be achieved are limitless.

How can I use my Damask Border Paper?

There are many things you can do with border paper as it is such a versatile product. Damask border paper in particular can be sourced in rich striking colours or more muted and softer shades to create a huge variety of appearances to your project work - here are some ideas to get you started.

Home Decorating – you can completely transform the style of a room with very little time and effort. If you are aiming to create a glamorous effect you could go for lovely gold tones combined with rich deep blue or purple. Simply use your damask border paper to frame doors or windows, even mirrors and pictures can be framed.  Remember to mitre the edges by trimming each edge on angle for more professional look. If you are going for an even bolder look you put a border on the ceiling, just start a couple of inches in from the edge and follow all the way round angling the corners. For a more discreet look, go for pretty pastel shades, silver and white are also a nice combination. Whichever you choose you’re sure to be proud of your D.I.Y and will want to show off your handy-work to friends and family.

Decoupage – this is the art of decorating with paper and was first used by the Victorians. Damask border paper is ideal for this craft especially if you want to create a decadent, opulent finish. This is very easy to do, you will just need to paste the paper, fix it on to the object that you want to decorate and then simply glaze it. You transform a boring beside cabinet into a beautiful, individual looking piece of furniture. Why not use the same paper to make over a dressing table or chest of drawers for a co-ordinated appearance. Decoupage is a delightful way of revitalising worn or damaged objects such as a trinket box, a vase or plant pot. In fact there are lots of smaller items which can be enhanced by this charming craft. Damasks can be luxurious and sumptuous looking, pretty and sweet or contemporary and modern, it really is up to you how you use it.
