Sanderson - Morris Wallpaper

The Sanderson William Morris Wallpaper Collection features a range of wallpapers inspired by the designs of William Morris, one of the most influential figures in the Arts and Crafts Movement. The collection was created in collaboration between the British wallpaper brand Sanderson and the Morris Estate, which holds the rights to his work.

William Morris (1834–1896) was a designer, craftsman, poet, and social activist who founded the Morris & Co. company. He was known for his distinctive textile and wallpaper designs, which were characterized by intricate patterns based on natural motifs, such as flowers, leaves, and birds. His work emphasized craftsmanship, a return to hand-made artistry, and a reaction against industrialization.

The Sanderson William Morris Wallpaper Collection typically includes re-imagined versions of Morris's iconic designs, such as:

1. "The Willow Bough" – A design featuring flowing, graceful willow branches and leaves.
2. "Fruit" – A design filled with ripe fruits, vines, and tendrils.
3. "Trellis" – A highly detailed geometric pattern with flowers and climbing plants.
4. "Anemone" – A floral design featuring stylized anemone flowers.
5. "Golden Lily" – An elegant pattern with lilies and other ornamental plants.

These wallpapers are often printed in rich, earthy color palettes that reflect Morris's love for nature and traditional handcrafts. Sanderson, known for its high-quality production, brings these historic designs to life with modern printing techniques, often making them more accessible to contemporary interiors while maintaining the spirit of Morris’s original vision.

The collection featured here allows people to bring the beauty of Arts and Crafts design into their homes, whether in traditional or modern settings, with a touch of timeless elegance.
