I've had a long-time love for the patterns of William Morris.
A true fan of the Arts & Crafts Movement,
I'm attracted to many of its aspects that contribute to
an attitude of comfort and serenity in the home:
deep, saturated colors, lots of rich wood,
Frank Lloyd Wright architecture (think Fallingwater),
mica or Tiffany-style glass lamps, stacked stone,
oil-rubbed bronze metals, and soft leathers.
Textile designer William Morris' boldly patterned fabrics, wallpapers and
embroideries played a big part in defining this decorating style.
I've gathered some of my favorites to show you here on the blog.
(Starting with Compton, above.)
And here's a bonus - a fabulous quote by Morris.
I love his way of thinking!
"The true secret of happiness lies in
