The Arts and Crafts Movement was a design revolution that turned traditional interiors into spaces full of timeless, handcrafted beauty inspired by nature. Emerging in the late 19th century as a response to the industrial era's mass-produced look, this movement focused on quality, artistry, and designs drawn straight from nature’s palette. Now, as more of us seek calming spaces filled with personal, meaningful touches, the principles of the Arts and Crafts Movement feel especially relevant. Embracing this style brings warmth, authenticity, and a lovely connection to nature into our homes. And with our latest William Morris-style wallpaper collection, bringing this elegant aesthetic into your space is easier than ever - whether you’re drawn to iconic designs like Strawberry Thief, Willow Boughs, or Golden Lily.
Meet Morris & Co: A Legacy of Timeless Craftsmanship
The Arts and Crafts Movement was all about elevating everyday spaces with beauty, harmony, and high-quality craftsmanship - a vision led by designer William Morris. His design house, Morris & Co, became a landmark of the movement, creating wallpapers, textiles, and furniture that celebrated nature with intricate florals, bold colours, and the finest materials. Today, our Morris & Co wallpaper collection gives a fresh take on Morris’s iconic patterns, bringing character, charm, and a touch of magic into your home.
How to Style Our Favourite Morris & Co Wallpapers for an Arts and Crafts-Inspired Space
Willow Boughs Wallpaper
With its gently flowing leaves, Willow Boughs brings nature’s calming essence indoors, making it ideal for bedrooms or peaceful corners. In the green colorway, pair Willow Boughs with earthy tones like Herball to enhance its organic feel, while the blue colorway pairs beautifully with River Wandle for a more coastal touch. For added warmth, consider the linen or seaglass options alongside Olive Fruit or Dearle to create a serene, timeless setting.
Strawberry Thief Wallpaper
A true icon, Strawberry Thief captures a lively garden scene with birds and berries, infusing any room with rich detail and charm. It’s a perfect choice for dining rooms or cosy lounges. In the Indigo/Mineral colorway, pair it with Webbs Blue for a cohesive look or use Thorned Rose to complement the Crimson/Slate variant. For a touch of greenery, Blackthorn works beautifully with the Chocolate/Slate colourway, adding an earthy dimension that enhances this vibrant pattern.
Pimpernel Wallpaper
With elegant floral swirls, Pimpernel adds a refined touch to formal spaces like dining rooms. Choose the Brick/Olive or Bullrush/Russet colourways and pair them with Twining Vine or Bayleaf/Manilla for an earthy flow. For a bit of depth, Herball or Chrysanthemum bring drama to the Weld/Leaf Green and Woad colourways, giving Pimpernel a stately, artistic presence.
Golden Lily Wallpaper
Lush and vibrant, Golden Lily is a celebration of florals that brings warmth to any room. In entryways or living rooms, it creates a welcoming and cosy vibe. To emphasise its earthy tones, pair the Slate/Manilla option with Chrysanthemum or use Sweet Briar with the Olive/Russet colourway for a delicate, feminine touch. For a brighter look, Leafy Arbour with the Pale Biscuit option creates a fresh yet grounded aesthetic.
Snakeshead Wallpaper
Bold and detailed, Snakeshead makes a stunning feature in large spaces like hallways or entryways. In the Gold/Linen colourway, pair it with neutral tones like Citrus Stone or Morris Trellis for Forest/Thyme for a sophisticated palette. Add a pop of colour with Webbs Blue for the Indigo/Cumin option, or go with Thorned Rose in the Madder/Gold variant to highlight its intricate hues.
Fruit Wallpaper
Bringing the beauty of a country garden indoors, Fruit is perfect for kitchens or breakfast nooks. The Blue Gold & Brown colourway pairs effortlessly with River Wandle, while Herball complements the Beige/Gold/Coral tones, making the space feel warm and inviting. For a cosy touch, add Weld Yellow in the Leaf Green/Madder variant, enhancing the natural charm of the design.
