Strawberry Thief from 1883 is one of Morris’s most iconic and beloved patterns. Morris, who often grew strawberries in his gardens, frequently saw his crops disappear to hungry birds. These stolen berries inspired him to create this beautiful pattern with birds, strawberries, and leaves.

Fruit, also known as Pomegranate, was designed in 1864. It is one of Morris’s first wallpaper designs, structured on an exact square grid. The pattern features repeating rectangular elements with diagonal branches laden with lemons, peaches, oranges, and pomegranates.

The Pimpernel pattern is from 1876. This elaborate symmetrical pattern is the first example of Morris using a ”repeat pattern.” Centered on large tulip flowers and loops of foliage, the title Pimpernel refers to the small flowers dotted throughout the design. The pattern can be found in Morris’ own dining room at Kelmscott House in Hammersmith.

Sunflower was designed in 1879. It is a beautiful symmetrical pattern featuring central sunflowers, abundant grapevines, and lovely curly leaves. Sunflowers were one of Morris’ favorite plants and could be found in several of his gardens. Sunflowers also appeared in Morris’ designs, prose, and lectures.

Golden Lily, 1899. One of the most admired patterns from William Morris. Golden Lily is richly populated with many flowers in a wide array of beautiful colors. The lily leaves, adorned with a speckled pattern, liea longside swirling leaves and dotted stems that curl around this strongly diagonal arrangement.

The Vine pattern from Morris & Co was designed in 1874. Morris’ daughter, May, led an embroidery workshop and used Morris & Co’s ’Oak’ damask in dark green as the base for the embroidery, adding depth to the panel and making it look like a dense thicket. A beautiful pattern with small grape clusters, just as popular today as when it was first created.
