Old-school patterns are making a comeback in modern interiors. Traditionally, damask patterns have been used on rich silk fabrics in classic home design. Today, they’re found on everything from rugs to wallpaper, painted stencils to tiles! Damask tile can be used to add character to any kitchen or bath.
If you’re fearless, go for a look that’s big, bold and beautiful. If you’re a little timid about using patterns, try something more subtle, soft and light.

FEATURES AND ACCENT WALLS
Keep it simple and use the pattern on one wall, or even just a small section. If you can’t find a pattern that you love, try a custom tile design to feature in your decor.
