Few designers have had as lasting an influence on interior design as William Morris, the pioneering force behind the Arts and Crafts movement. His wallpapers — inspired by nature, craftsmanship, and historic textiles — are celebrated for their intricate detail, rich narrative, and timeless beauty. Classic Morris designs bring depth, elegance, and heritage to interiors, making them ideal for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, and entrance halls alike.
1. William Morris at Garden Wallpaper Wallpaper
One of Morris’s most recognisable patterns, Garden Wallpaper reflects his fascination with nature. Its elegant, intertwining stems and curling leaves create a flowing rhythm that’s deceptively simple yet deeply refined.
2. William Morris at Dove & Rose Wallpaper
The Dove & Rose pattern captures the essence of late 19th-century Arts & Crafts design — detailed natural motifs, flowing vines, botanicals and symbolic birds. It’s a classic choice for:
-
Period homes looking to stay true to traditional decor
-
Studies, dining rooms, or lounges where you want elaborate pattern and depth
3. William Morris at Blackthorn Wallpaper
Originally designed in 1887, Blackthorn is a fine example of Morris’s love of wild flora. With flourishing meadow flowers, blossoms, and foliage, it brings the garden indoors — transforming walls into botanical tapestries.
4. William Morris at Pimpernel Wallpaper
Classic block-print design from the At Home collection, capturing Morris’s original 1876 Pimpernel pattern with its large flowers and swirling foliage — perfect for a feature wall in a dining room or study.
5. William Morris at Brother Rabbit Wallpaper
Brother Rabbit is unique among Morris’s repeating patterns for including an animal motif — a playful rabbit hidden among foliage and flowers. It’s a classic design with a gentle narrative charm.
