Compendium II wallpaper with willow, blossom and fruit by Morris & Co

Compendium II wallpaper brings together eleven Morris & Co patterns drawn from the garden: willow branches, flowering thorn, briar roses, honeysuckle and ripe fruit. In the designs shown here, leaves are outlined and stylized, with fine line detail that keeps a dense repeat legible from across the room. Some colorways sit quietly on cream or pale pink grounds. Others go dark, with navy carrying red and ochre blooms. You can paper a bedroom wall to wall or turn a small bathroom into a walled garden of pattern.

The designs in Compendium II wallpaper by Morris & Co

Willow Boughs wallpaper sends dark green willow leaves diagonally across a pale pinkish-beige ground, in a pattern that dates from 1887. Willow Boughs Minor wallpaper grows its branches from wavy upright stems, hatched in two greens on a cream ground. Blackthorn wallpaper goes much darker: cream blossoms, red-orange flowers and checkered fritillaries in a mirrored repeat on navy. Standen wallpaper lifts the leafy background of the Lily pattern and gives it a wall of its own. May Morris drew Honeysuckle wallpaper in 1883, a tangle of trailing vines and small flowers. Sweet Briar wallpaper, a 1912 design by JH Dearle, scatters small rose heads between slender stems. Brer Rabbit wallpaper is reproduced from a fabric based on 17th-century Italian silk. Fruit wallpaper hangs heavy with pomegranates, citrus and leaves. Arbutus wallpaper, Owen Jones wallpaper and Chrysanthemum Toile wallpaper complete the set.

Morris & Co Compendium II wallpaper in bedrooms and bathrooms

The willow designs suit rooms where you want pattern that still feels calm, like a bedroom with plain linen and wood floors. Blackthorn holds its own in a small space, and painted cabinetry in teal or a yellow window seat only sharpens its colors. At Selected Wallpapers you can pair a quiet leaf print from Compendium II by Morris & Co in one room with a dark floral in the next.
