MEDIEVAL REVIVAL To mark 160 years of William Morris’ iconic design house, Morris & Co has created Owl & Willow, a beautiful wallpaper inspired by the Verdure panel of the Holy Grail tapestries at Stanmore Hall, London, originally created by Morris & Co in 1890. A testament to Morris’ deep appreciation for medieval craftsmanship, the wide-width paper, £299 per roll, features original handpainted artwork.

For thousands of years people have been adorning walls with decorative designs, from cave paintings and medieval tapestries, to Italian Renaissance frescoes and elegant French toile de Jouy wallpapers, so there’s a wealth of inspiration to draw from when decorating a period home. Whether it’s an authentic reproduction of an archive design, or a fresh interpretation for the 21st century, heritage wallpapers are a brilliant way to create statement interiors with stories to tell.
