Cornubia wallpaper collection Morris & Co

Morris & Co Cornubia wallpaper with flowers you can name

Cornubia wallpaper from Morris & Co fills the wall with plants you can point to and name: blackthorn, tulip, thistle, fritillary. Every pattern is dense and drawn in outline, with flowers and leaves set in symmetrical repeats. What changes from design to design is the ground color and the scale. On dark navy, the flowers sink back and the room closes in around you. On speckled teal they float. On cream, red and orange tulips jump forward and the wall stays bright. Some patterns are tightly mirrored, while others grow more loosely.

Designs in the Cornubia wallpaper collection

Blackthorn wallpaper packs small cream blossoms, red-orange daisies, red fritillary bells and blue leaves onto a navy ground, with branches stacked in mirrored, tree-like columns. In a bathroom with a teal vanity and white marble, it makes a small room feel deep and enclosed. Woodland Weeds wallpaper, first printed in 1905, works at a larger scale. Pink lilies with long leaves, cream bells and pink thistles are linked by scrolling stems on speckled teal-blue. Compton wallpaper, a design from 1895, sets red tulips, olive-yellow flowers and light blue foliage among upright green leaves on cream. Bachelors Button wallpaper is all movement, with swirling leaves and growing tendrils. Windrush wallpaper is a layered design William Morris drew in 1881, colored in a vibrant palette.

Choosing Morris & Co wallpaper by ground color and scale

Pick the ground color first, then the scale. The navy of Blackthorn pulls a small bathroom inward, and yellow trim or a dark floor balances it. Woodland Weeds needs calm around it, such as white paneling and plain wood, so the large repeat can carry the wall. Compton on cream stays light next to blue-and-white china and painted doors. At Selected Wallpapers you can compare every Cornubia design side by side and match each one to a room.
