William Morris V Prints & Wallpapers from Fabricsandpapers.com

Horsham, United Kingdom, November 10, 2008 --(PR.com)-- Designs have been newly updated and interpreted for the contemporary decorator whilst retaining the integrity of Arts & Crafts, a movement currently enjoying a revival in the design world. The hand-crafted feel and unique style for which Morris is known and loved has been maintained and developed; unusual engraving techniques and earthy colours have been applied to give a bolder, less traditional feel, making this a collection to be used in both period and modern interiors.

Emma Vans Agnew, design director www.fabricsandpapers.com, said: “The collection encompasses varying translations of the Morris look, from bold interpretations of typical hand-weaves and block prints, to designs that are less obviously Arts & Crafts in style. This diversity reflects the way in which Morris designs would have been used in an eclectic mix with other beautiful furnishings and is typical of how interior designers are using this product today.”

From striking adaptations on rustic linen, to single colour bleached out trails and tiny all-over leaf designs, the fabric collection takes Morris in a fresh, new direction. The wallpaper collection introduces old favourites in new colourings and contemporary designs inspired by the interiors of Arts & Crafts houses. Traditional surface prints are combined with modern treatments of metallic
inks, inspired by the hand applied gold leaf work in Morris’ interiors.
