These were created for the firm he founded with his partners in 1861, <a href="/wiki/Morris_%26_Co." title="Morris & Co.">Morris, Marshall, Faulkner and Company</a>, and later for <a href="/wiki/Morris_%26_Co." title="Morris & Co.">Morris and Company</a>. He created fifty different block-printed wallpapers, all with intricate, stylised patterns based on nature, particularly upon the native flowers and plants of Britain. His wallpapers and textile designs had a major effect on British interior designs, and then upon the subsequent <a href="/wiki/Art_Nouveau" title="Art Nouveau">Art Nouveau</a> movement in Europe and the United States.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_1860s_-_experiments_and_early_designs">The 1860s - experiments and early designs</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Morris_wallpaper_designs&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: The 1860s - experiments and early designs"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>His partners in the company were members of the <a href="/wiki/Pre-Raphaelite_Brotherhood" title="Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood">Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood</a>, a group of painters who rejected the art and design of the Victorian era, and sought to revive earlier themes and techniques of art and craftsmanship.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The first wallpaper pattern he designed for his company was the <b>Trellis wallpaper</b> in 1864. It was inspired by the roses he grew on the trellis at his residence, the <a href="/wiki/Red_House,_Bexleyheath" title="Red House, Bexleyheath">Red House</a>. However, two years passed between the time he designed the paper and the time he was able to print it to his satisfaction. His primary objective was to make the wallpaper by hand, with transparent oil colours on zinc plates. However, when he could not make this work to his satisfaction, he gave the task to an established wallpaper firm, Jeffrey and company, which printed it with wood blocks and <a href="/wiki/Distemper_(paint)" title="Distemper (paint)">distemper</a> colours. Since Morris was a perfectionist, this also was a long process. He was dissatisfied by the early versions, and at one point threw away the entire set of printing blocks. The final versions were printed in different colours. For the bedroom of his own residence <a href="/wiki/Kelmscott_House" title="Kelmscott House">Kelmscott House</a>, which he decorated in 1879, he used the trellis design with a blue background. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019166_3-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019166-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-packed"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 193.33333333333px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 191.33333333333px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Design for Trellis wallpaper (1862)"><img alt="Design for Trellis wallpaper (1862)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg/287px-William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg" decoding="async" width="192" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg/430px-William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b4/William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg/573px-William_Morris_design_for_Trellis_wallpaper_1862.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1131" data-file-height="1184" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Design for Trellis wallpaper (1862)</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 164px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 162px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Finished Trellis wallpaper printed in 1864"><img alt="Finished Trellis wallpaper printed in 1864" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg/243px-Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg" decoding="async" width="162" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg/364px-Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7b/Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg/486px-Trellis_MET_DT255077.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3239" data-file-height="4000" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Finished Trellis wallpaper printed in 1864</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 134px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 132px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Daisy Design (1864)"><img alt="Daisy Design (1864)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg/198px-Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg" decoding="async" width="132" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg/297px-Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/9/9b/Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg/396px-Morris_Daisy_wallpaper_1864.jpg 2x" data-file-width="970" data-file-height="1468" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Daisy Design (1864)</div> </li> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 162.66666666667px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 160.66666666667px;"><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg" class="mw-file-description" title="Fruit or pomegranate (1866) (Metropolitan Museum)"><img alt="Fruit or pomegranate (1866) (Metropolitan Museum)" src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg/241px-Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg" decoding="async" width="161" height="200" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg/362px-Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/70/Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg/483px-Fruit_or_Pomegranate_MET_DP109416.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1609" data-file-height="2000" /></a></span></div> <div class="gallerytext">Fruit or pomegranate (1866) (Metropolitan Museum)</div> </li> </ul> <p>In the following years, he made two more floral designs, <b>Daisy</b> (1864), and <b>Fruit/Pomegranate</b> (1866). All three were created in a variety of different colours. The multitude of colours used and the careful work involved made these wallpapers particularly expensive. Since he was running a business, he had to adapt to the wishes of the market. At the end of the 1860s, in order to bring in more orders, he created an entirely different group of four papers based on a new design, called the Indian. Since they had only two colours, they were less expensive. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeecroft201950_4-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeecroft201950-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1868, though he disliked the Victorian idea of using several different designs of wallpaper in the same room, intended especially for the ceilings of rooms. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201763_5-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201763-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_early_1870s_-_mastery_of_technique">The early 1870s - mastery of technique</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Morris_wallpaper_designs&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: The early 1870s - mastery of technique"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1870s, through practice and continual refinement, he achieved a mastery of the technique and a more sophisticated and subtle style, with a finer balance between color, variety, and structure. He wrote later in his 1881 lecture, <i>Some hints on pattern designing</i>, of the necessity "to mask the construction of our pattern enough to prevent people from counting the repeats of our pattern, while we manage to lull their curiosity to trace it out." The purpose of a good pattern, he wrote, "was a look of satisfying mystery, which is essential in all patterned goods, and which must be done by the designer." He added that "colour above all should be modest," since the wallpaper was part of the household, meant to be lived with and seen only in passing, not meant to attract attention to itself. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019184_6-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019184-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During this period he created some of this most famous designs, creating an illusion of three dimension, with lavish flowers interwoven with a complex and lush background.

wallpaper designs. In his wallpapers of this period, he reverted to more naturalistic themes, somewhat less three-dimensional than his earlier work, but with an exceptional harmony and rhythm, as in his designs <i>Poppy</i> (1885) and <i>Acorn</i>. </p><p>In the 1880s, his work finally received royal attention: In 1880 he was asked to redecorate rooms <a href="/wiki/St._James%27s_Palace" class="mw-redirect" title="St. James's Palace">St. James's Palace</a> in London. He created a particularly complex design, named 'St. James's', which used sixty-eight separate printing blocks to make a section of two wallpaper widths, with a height 127 centimeters. In 1887 Queen Victoria again commissioned Morris & Company, this time to another special design for wallpaper at <a href="/wiki/Balmoral_Castle" title="Balmoral Castle">Balmoral Castle</a>, based on the 'VRI' initials of the Queen. <sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201763–65_9-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201763–65-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>During this time, however, Morris was devoting more and more of his time to literary and political work. He also became increasingly involved in other media, especially textile and tapestry weaving. He relocated the workshops of his company to <a href="/wiki/Merton_Abbey_Mills" title="Merton Abbey Mills">Merton Abbey</a> in the 1880s to focus on these. He also began to create wallpapers with a single color, such as <i>Acorn</i> and <i>Sunflower</i>, which were much simpler and much less expensive to produce. Among his final wallpapers was the Red Poppy design. </p> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-packed"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 144px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 142px;"><span

experimented with printing them with blocks of <a href="/wiki/Zinc" title="Zinc">zinc</a> but decided that this was too complex and took too long. He turned to a commercial company, Barrett of Bethnal Green, which made the first blocks for him in the traditional way from pearwood. For the printing, he turned to the firm of M.M. Jeffrey & Company of Islington, which eventually produced all of his papers.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201761_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201761-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The technique used by Morris for making wallpaper was described in some detail in <i><a href="https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Arts_and_Crafts_Essays" class="extiw" title="s:Arts and Crafts Essays">Arts and Crafts Essays</a></i> by Members of the Arts and Crafts Exhibition Society published in 1893. The chapter on wallpaper was written by <a href="/wiki/Walter_Crane" title="Walter Crane">Walter Crane</a>. He describes how the wallpapers of Morris were made using pieces of paper thirty-feet long and twenty-one inches wide. (French wallpaper was eighteen inches wide). The design therefore could not exceed twenty-one inches square, unless a double block was used. This was the greatest width for which the craftsman could comfortably handle and print the paper with a block. </p><p>The block itself was made of wood twenty-one inches wide. The design was first outlined on the block, and carved in wood, cutting away everything except for the part of the design to be printed in one colour. Details and fine lines were reproduced with flat brass wires that were driven edgewise into the block. The pigments, made with natural ingredients, were mixed with <a href="/wiki/Sizing" title="Sizing">sizing</a> or a binder, and then put into shallow trays, called wells. The long papers were passed over on wooden rods overhead, with the section of paper to be printed placed flat on a table in front of the craftsman. </p><p>One block was used for each colour. The typical Morris design used as many as twenty different colours, but some were more complex. The Saint James design (1881) required sixty-eight different blocks. The printer painted a pad with the first colour, then pressed the block down onto the pad to put the paint onto its surfaces. Then he moved the block to the paper and used a hand press to print the color onto the paper. The location of the block was marked precisely with pins, so all the colours would align. This process was repeated time after time for the length of the first paper. When the colour on the first sheet was dry, he took another block and printed the next colour over the first and so on, colour after colour, until the design was complete.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Producing a single set of a wallpaper design with this process could often take as long as four weeks.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="The_Morris_Style">The Morris Style</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Morris_wallpaper_designs&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: The Morris Style"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the 1850s, during the Victorian era prior to Morris, most English wallpaper was inspired by the geometric and historical designs of <a href="/wiki/Augustus_Welby_Pugin" class="mw-redirect" title="Augustus Welby Pugin">Augustus Welby Pugin</a>, who had created the neo-Gothic interiors of Westminster Palace, and Owen Jones, notable for his abstract geometric patterns.

He declared in an 1881 essay, <i>Some Hints on Pattern Designing</i> of the need to "mask the construction of our pattern enough to prevent people from counting the repeats of our pattern, while we manage to lull their curiosity to trace it out." The goal, he wrote, was "to attain a satisfying mystery, which is essential in all patterned goods, and which must be done by the designer." He also declared that "colours of all things should be modest, designed to be seen only in passing, and not drawing attention to themselves."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019184_6-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBeecroft2019184-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Morris sought to depict nature, particularly the plants and flowers of England, without excessive naturalism. He placed his flowers and plants in series which were carefully created to be rhythmic and balanced, giving a sense of order and harmony. He did not want his wallpapers to be the center of attention in a room. In the 1870s and 1880s his designs became denser, richer and more complex, but they preserved the sense of and harmony and equilibrium which he sought.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201761–63_14-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEFiellFiell201761–63-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Associated_artists">Associated artists</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Morris_wallpaper_designs&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Associated artists"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In later years the Morris style influenced and was adapted by the other designers who worked for Morris and Company.
