5 Free Vintage Wallpaper Textures

Update: Vintage Damask Textures: Part II is up now! Check it out if you like the textures below.

This is a set of textures I've wanted to do for a long, long time. Unfortunately I don't have access to any cool, old wallpaper around here...so I just had to make my own.

Each one of these textures consists of 4-5 different images layered together in Photoshop to get the end result you see here. I usually used one fabric texture, two paper textures, and a grunge texture along with the pattern to get the effect that I wanted. If you guys would like I can make a tutorial on the process that went into these textures. Let me know if you guys like them! I plan on making a much bigger set of these in the near future and would love some input on these first five.

Here are the patterns I used to make the textures:

• damask wallpaper
• damask wallpaper 2
• damask wallpaper 3
• Ornate Wallpaper Pattern

Click on the textures below to download the high-res version or download them all in a zip file at the bottom of the post. Enjoy!
