Morris & Co Simply Morris wallpaper with botanical and geometric repeats

Simply Morris wallpaper from Morris & Co brings existing William Morris designs back in new color schemes. On the wall that means dense flowers on a dark brown ground, willow leaves on beige or a soft pink damask, each drawn in a stylized line that reads clearly from across the room. Green foliage runs through most of the range, so one palette can carry from room to room. You can keep a library dark and enclosed and a hallway light and calm with patterns from the same family.

Pimpernel, Willow Boughs and other Simply Morris wallpaper designs

Pimpernel wallpaper sets large pink and cream flowers with red veining among curling olive leaves and small blue blooms on a dark brown ground. The stems interlace in a mirrored repeat that forms ogee shapes. The design dates from 1876, and Morris used it in his own dining room at Kelmscott House. Willow Boughs wallpaper is lighter. Narrow dark green leaves run diagonally across a beige ground in a dense overall layout, so the wall reads as one continuous canopy. Simply Severn wallpaper arranges white flowers that resemble peonies, lily shapes and acanthus leaves in a symmetrical damask on pale pink, with ochre accents and soft shading. It began as a print on fabric. St James Ceiling wallpaper switches to geometry. William Morris designed it in 1881 for a redecoration of St James's Palace in London.

Decorating with Simply Morris by Morris & Co

Let the ground color set the mood. Pimpernel on dark brown suits a living room with warm lamps and a sisal rug, Willow Boughs gives a bedroom a quiet leafy backdrop, and Simply Severn keeps an entry soft and pale. Striped upholstery and plain linen sit well against all three, as the room photos show. Selected Wallpapers carries Simply Morris wallpaper next to other Morris & Co designs, so you can compare patterns side by side.
