Acanthus Curling leaves Green Wallpaper by William Morris 124227

Featuring acanthus leaf motifs, prominently showcased in his 'Acanthus' wallpaper, this design draws inspiration from Ancient Greek art, where these intricate, spiralling leaves adorned friezes and Corinthian columns. Morris favoured this classical motif for its ability to form harmonious, repeating patterns. He believed the large-scale design was perfect for smaller spaces, offering a serene atmosphere compared to more compact patterns. The 'Acanthus Green' by William Morris at Home highlights his love for grand, leafy designs in rich forest green, complemented by striking sand-coloured accents. Its matte finish enhances the luxurious texture and timeless elegance of the pattern.
