Design Details

About the Pattern

The Acanthus wallpaper features intricate, flowing motifs inspired by the acanthus plant, renowned for its lush foliage.

Description

Designed by William Morris in 1874, Acanthus is one of his most enduring and recognisable patterns. Drawn from the bold, sculptural leaves of the acanthus plant — a motif with deep roots in classical architecture — Morris transformed it into something distinctly his own: layered, naturalistic, and full of movement. It marked a turning point in his work and remains a cornerstone of the Arts and Crafts movement.

In Chalk, the design takes on a softer, more restrained character. The muted tones lend themselves beautifully to living rooms, studies, bedrooms, and hallways, sitting equally well in traditional and contemporary interiors. The Chalk colorway pairs naturally with warm whites, aged linens, soft greens, and earthy terracottas, and brings a calm, considered mood to any space.

Each roll is 20.5" wide and 11 yards long, with a 24" straight match repeat, printed on paste-the-paper stock. It hangs with a professional finish and wipes down gently with a damp cloth.
