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!

Oh man, I know I'm going to sound like an idiot here, so please forgive me. WHAT exactly are we to do with these? I mean, I know that I can use them as desktop wallpaper, but other than that, are they offered up just because they are pretty to look at, or can we have them reprinted, or what? See, I told you I'd sound like an idiot. Would someone respond via email please. Thanks. {p.s. I'll actually be using my copies to print out, enlarge, and make a stencil for painting my daughters' bedroom wall}
