Design Details

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 is one of his most celebrated and enduring patterns — a turning point in his artistic vision that moved toward richer, more densely layered compositions. Inspired by the bold, sculptural leaves of the acanthus plant, long a symbol of classical beauty, Morris rendered it with the fluid, handcrafted energy that defines the Arts & Crafts movement. This Slate Blue/Thyme colorway breathes new life into that Victorian masterwork, pairing cool, smoky blue tones with soft sage green for a palette that feels both grounded and quietly dramatic. It creates a sense of calm sophistication that works beautifully in living rooms, studies, dining rooms, and primary bedrooms — equally at home in traditional, eclectic, and modern-classic interiors. Pair it with warm brass fixtures, natural linen, and walnut furniture to bring out its depth. Each roll is 20.5" wide with an 11-yard length and a 24" straight-match repeat, printed on paste-the-paper stock. Order with confidence — we ship across the US with delivery in 5–7 working days.
