Acanthus Blue Wallpaper
Acanthus leaves decorate many of Morris' designs and are made a central feature in his 'Acanthus' pattern for wallpaper. First used in Ancient Greek friezes and on the capitals of Corinthian columns, these swirling, curling leaves have decorated walls and buildings ever since. Morris found this classical motif ideal for repeating patterns and believed the large pattern he created here was perfect for smaller rooms, creating a more restful atmosphere than a smaller, dense pattern. Acanthus Blue from William Morris at Home displays the beauty of Morris' large leafy designs in calming yet engaging deep blue and teal tones. The matt paper finish of this wallpaper accentuates the fusion of classical and contemporary.
