William Morris

William Morris (1834-1896) is regarded by some as the greatest designer and one of the most outstanding figures of the Arts and Crafts Movement. He was also a poet, artist, philosopher, typographer and political theorist.

William Morris believed that everybody has the right to a beautiful house., hence in 1861, with a group of friends, he started the decorating business Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co. providing beautiful, handcrafted products and furnishings for the home. Morris was motivated by the desire to provide affordable ‘art for all’ and driven by his boundless enthusiasm, the output of the company was prolific.

Victoria and Albert museum has been showing a beautiful collection of William Morris wallpapers. You can also find an informative video of how wallpaper design was being produced back in the 1874.
