Design Details

Created in 1874, the stunning Acanthus wallpaper stands out as one of William Morris's most iconic designs, signifying a transformative era in his artistic journey.

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 remains one of his most celebrated wallpapers, marking a pivotal point in his transition toward bolder, more sculptural pattern-making. Inspired by the rich, undulating foliage of the acanthus plant, the design's deep relief and rhythmic curves reflect Morris's lifelong devotion to nature and his belief that beauty and craftsmanship belonged in every home.

In this Charcoal/Grey colorway, the design takes on a moody, sophisticated character suited to dining rooms, studies, hallways, and living rooms alike. It complements traditional, Arts and Crafts, and modern eclectic interiors equally well, lending depth and drama without overwhelming the space. Pair it with brass or aged-gold accents, deep emerald or burgundy textiles, and warm wood tones to create an atmosphere that feels both grounded and elegant; alternatively, soft ivory and dove-grey furnishings keep the look airier and contemporary.

Each 20.5-inch wide, 11-yard roll features a straight match repeat of just over 24 inches, and the paper surface can be cleaned with a gentle, lightly damp cloth.
