Explore the collection in more detail:

Arbutus:

A traditional surface printed, hand painted effect wallcovering featuring trailing leaves and vibrant berries. Designed by Kathleen Kersey, a member of the Morris & Co. design studio on the eve of the First World War; this design has been reimagined in a vibrant and contemporary colour palette, whilst maintaining its classic William Morris character.

Available in Sunflower, Cochineal Pink and Rose.

Meadow Sweet:

Whimsical and nostalgic, this design is a reinterpretation of a classic floral motif design, with a delicate symmetry, in a typical Arts & Crafts style. Reimagined and recoloured into a fresh and contemporary palette with the authentic surface printed technique.

Available in Weld Yellow, Sage and Aegean Blue.

Willow:

The ultimate iconic classic William Morris design, with its soothing, curved willow branches against a warming metallic background. Used frequently within Morris' work, the entwining leaves climbing vertically through this design is a reminder of nature's virility. 

Available in Russet, Weld Yellow, Olive and Woad.

Brer Rabbit:

The classic bird and rabbit symmetrical design, featuring as its subject, the cheeky protagonist of a children's book from the 19th century. Revisited with this two-colour design using a layering of printing techniques, to create a truly special textured overall finish. 

Available in Leaf Green and Blush.

Honeysuckle and Tulip:

Inspired by Morris' watercolour paintings of Honeysuckle from 1876, this early Morris design creates a trellis effect with large tulips and stylised honeysuckle. Reimagined with a contemporary metallic background and vibrant colour palette.

Available in Gold, Peacock, Sunflower/Thyme and Olive/Woad.

Marigold:

A vibrant new interpretation of the classic 1875 design which remains true to its engraved roots, this delicately complex two-colour leaf and marigold floral design with its undulating vertical stripe effect, a classic, simple and elegant Morris design.

Available in Silver, Soft Teal, Thyme, Chocolate and Pewter.

Blackthorn:

A darkly dramatic colourway of this striking all over, classic Morris flower and leaf design. Designed in 1892, this complex yet calming design works exceptionally well in small spaces, reimagined in a colourful and contrasting colour palette. 

Available in Forest and Indigo.

Acorn:

A pretty single colour design, with willow, oak leaves and acorns in a pleasing symmetrical pattern, first designed in 1879 with traditional wooden hand-printing blocks, now reimagined in soothing and uplifting colourways. 

Available in Blush, Denim Blue, Indigo, Fennel, Vintage Brass and Lemon.

Owl and Willow:

Created to celebrate the 160th anniversary of Morris & Co., charming wildlife, stylised trees and delicate florals combine in this enchanting scene. Drawing from the many motifs and subjects that populated over a century of Morris & Co.'s Arts & Crafts style, Owl & Willow's bucolic scene offers pause to reflect on the beauty of nature. This design is printed in 3 sections on 1 roll that can then be cut & joined, together to make a full scene. Each roll comprising of 3 x 300cm panels (A B C) with spacing between each panel for cutting/trimming. The 3 panels make a total scene width of 205.5cm when hung.
