Classic and modern damask patterns add a sense of elegance and luxury to backgrounds.

Also, fun fact, damask isn’t technically a pattern. It’s actually a method of weaving that allows a pattern to be seen on both sides. However, the most common patterns, like floral sprigs woven on a glossy fabric, became so popular the design is what is recognized by most people as being damask now days.
