William Morris turned the English garden into repeat pattern: Golden Lily's dense stems, Acanthus's curling leaves, Honeysuckle's climbing vines, Strawberry Thief's thieving birds. We reproduce his designs as framed prints, made to order in the UK, for anyone who wants pattern with a history behind it.
The collection covers Morris's wider catalogue: Golden Lily, Acanthus, Honeysuckle, Larkspur, Snakeshead, Tulip, Kennet and Wey. Trellis, his first wallpaper design of 1864, came from the rose trellises around the well-court garden at his own Red House. Snakeshead is named after the snake's head fritillary that grew wild around Kelmscott, the Oxfordshire manor he rented from 1871.
These are faithful print reproductions, not originals. Morris designed the patterns between the 1860s and 1890s for Morris & Co., later run partly from workshops at Merton Abbey. We have no partnership or licence with any Morris estate or archive: we print his public-domain designs onto fine art paper and frame them to order. To see the originals, visit the UK museums that hold and display them.

Artist Biography
William Morris
Morris learned his craft through a unique blend of academic study, artistic collaboration and hands-on experimentation. While at Oxford University he immersed himself in medieval literature and architecture, forging lifelong friendships with Pre-Raphaelite painters who shared his passion for nature and medieval aesthetics. After graduation he studied pattern making, dyeing and weaving techniques by working directly with artisans and by founding the firm Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. in 1861. This workshop-school model allowed Morris to develop his signature style—melding historic motifs with innovative colour palettes—while training a generation of craftsmen in hand block printing and tapestry weaving.
He became known for his most popular artworks through an enduring series of textile and wallpaper patterns that remain iconic today. Designs such as Strawberry Thief, inspired by thrushes in his own kitchen garden; Willow Bough, with its dancing branch motif; and Trellis, featuring interlacing vines, exemplify the seamless blend of function and beauty at the heart of Morris & Co. These bestselling William Morris wallpaper designs and fabric prints were exhibited at international fairs and commissioned for country houses and town residences throughout Britain and beyond. By combining rich botanical imagery with meticulous handcraft techniques, Morris's most popular artworks set new standards in decorative design and continue to influence interior trends worldwide.

Choosing your William Morris print
Sizing: go big (60x80cm) for one statement wall, or small (30x40cm, A3 or A4) in twos and threes for a considered spread across a hallway, stairwell or gallery wall.
Frame colour: black for contrast and a modern room; natural or light wood for a softer, more traditional setting closer to Morris's own Arts and Crafts interiors.
Room: dense florals such as Acanthus or Golden Lily suit living rooms and bedrooms with room to breathe; smaller-scale repeats like Snakeshead or Honeysuckle work well in hallways, studies and kitchens where the pattern is seen up close.
