Damask & Traditional Curtains

Our damask and traditional curtains collection features richly patterned, woven designs that have been a fixture of elegantly dressed rooms for centuries. The characteristic reversible pattern of damask fabric gives these curtains a depth and quality that printed designs rarely match.
Damask curtains tend to work best in rooms with a clear traditional or formal aesthetic. A lining will always improve both their insulating properties and the way they fall. Pencil pleat headings are the traditional choice and suit the weight and formality of damask fabric well. When measuring, allow for a generous gather of at least double the pole or track width so the full pattern shows properly when the curtains are drawn. Rich jewel tones like deep red, navy, and forest green tend to work best with damask.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is damask fabric?

Damask is a richly patterned woven fabric where the pattern is created through the weave structure itself rather than printed on, giving it a characteristic reversible appearance and natural depth.

What heading styles are available for damask curtains?

Pencil pleat is the most traditional and appropriate heading for damask curtains, giving a structured gather that suits the formal quality of the fabric.

Are damask curtains fully lined?

Lining varies by design. Many of our damask curtains are fully lined to improve insulation and the quality of the hang, though always check the individual product listing.

What drops are available?

We stock a range of standard drops to suit most window sizes from sill length through to full floor length pairs.

Do damask curtains suit a modern home?

Traditional damask works best in rooms with a formal or period aesthetic. For a more contemporary setting, look for damask designs in updated colourways such as grey, teal, or monochrome.

How do I care for damask curtains?

Damask curtains are generally dry clean only to protect the woven fabric structure. Always check the specific care label for each product.

What colours are available in the damask range?

Classic jewel tones including deep red, navy, gold, and forest green feature alongside more understated cream, silver, and taupe colourways.

How much fullness should damask curtains have?

We recommend at least double the pole or track width to allow the full damask pattern to display properly when the curtains are closed.

Damask & Traditional Curtains

Damask is one of the most enduring fabric patterns in interior design. The characteristic reversible woven pattern gives the fabric a depth and richness that printed designs struggle to replicate, and when used for curtains it creates a sense of considered elegance that immediately raises the quality of the room. Our damask and traditional curtains collection brings together a range of designs in the classic damask weave alongside similarly styled traditional patterns that share that same formal, settled quality.

These curtains suit period properties and formal rooms particularly well. For the most polished finish, pair them with a set of rope or tassel tie backs that complement the richness of the fabric. Our jacquard curtains collection has similarly rich, woven designs that work alongside damask in a layered scheme, and our fully lined curtains range ensures your new curtains hang with the weight and insulation these formal designs deserve.

Why Choose Damask Curtains?

  • Rich, Woven Pattern: The reversible damask weave gives genuine depth and quality that printed alternatives cannot match.
  • Formal Elegance: Particularly well suited to period properties, formal dining rooms, and traditionally decorated bedrooms.
  • Excellent Hang: The weight of woven damask fabric gives curtains a natural, settled fall that lighter fabrics do not achieve.
  • Timeless Choice: Damask has been used in interior decoration for centuries and shows no signs of dating.
