This classic wallpaper in black and the fireplace are lightened up by the window view, and white moulding and couch.
Kathryn added this to The Dazzle and Drama of Damask Decor
This is an example of the dramatic use of damask wallpaper as an accent wall in a large room. Had the black-and-white theme of the room been carried out in the wallpaper the room might be overwhelming. The decision to use a more monochromatic damask pattern is an interesting, smart, stylish choice.
Janell Beals - House of Fifty added this to Black & White Rooms
A black damask wallpaper lining the walls of an ornately appointed room doesn't sound at all modern. But paint the mantel black, hang strikingly simple white drapes and bring in a mix of clean lined black and white furniture and accessories, and modern is the result.

This room is totally my style with the Victorian-style wallpaper, Art Deco mirror, modern furniture, and lots of black.
