seamless hand drawn floral pattern for interior textiles and wallpapers
I’d like to introduce my new pattern dedicated to to the art of William Morris, legend of Victorian Britain. This pattern is not a just copy of original iconic artworks, but it is inspired by this amazing style. It is characterised by fancy botanical motifs with intricate flowers and leaves. Floral elements smoothly flow into each other.
William Morris (1834-1896)
William Morris’s designs for fabrics, wallpaper, and other decorative arts revolutionised Victorian taste and contributed to the revival of traditional textile arts, generating the Arts and Crafts Movement in England.
Botanical inspiration is everywhere in William Morris’s textile and wallpaper designs. Floral and leafy forms, distilled from meadow, hedgerow and garden plants, define his patterns and conjure a mood of abundant romance.
Morris understood plants deeply, but he refrained from copying them. Indeed, he denounced “sham-real boughs and flowers”, and instead translated their detailed three-dimensional forms into flat patterns, with little depth between foreground and background, often taking inspiration from Renaissance and Islamic motifs.
It’s a beguiling combination which continues to inspire interior design today.
