Today damask designs come in a range of bold, high-contrast colors on everything from rugs and tiles to neon wallpaper, painted stencils and fashion runways.

To give a classic print a modern twist, opt for using a damask pattern in electric colors, such as this eye-popping blue and green. Keep the rest of your home neutral to avoid competition between walls and furniture.
