Morris & Co. - Morris Wallpaper

Morris & Co. wallpaper refers to a line of wallpapers designed by the British arts and crafts designer William Morris and his company, Morris & Co., which was founded in 1861. William Morris is renowned for his intricate and nature-inspired designs that epitomize the Arts and Crafts movement, a style that sought to counteract the industrial revolution's impact on craftsmanship and design.

The wallpaper designs from Morris & Co. typically feature rich, detailed patterns inspired by natural motifs such as flowers, leaves, birds, and vines.

These wallpapers were part of a broader vision to bring art into the home, elevating the quality of everyday surroundings through handcrafted, beautiful designs. Morris & Co.'s designs continue to be highly regarded and are still produced today, maintaining the same high standards of craftsmanship and design that William Morris championed in the 19th century.
