Acanthus Curling leaves Sage & Duck Egg Wallpaper by William Morris 124228

Acanthus leaves are a key feature in many of William Morris's designs, particularly his iconic 'Acanthus' wallpaper. Inspired by Ancient Greek architecture, where these intricate, spiralling leaves adorned friezes and Corinthian columns, the motif has been a decorative staple for centuries. Morris valued this classic design for its ability to form seamless, repeating patterns, and crafted the large-scale 'Acanthus' specifically for smaller spaces, believing it created a more tranquil atmosphere than dense, intricate designs. The 'Acanthus Sage & Duck Egg' collection by William Morris at Home showcases his love for bold, leafy patterns in soothing shades of sage, grey, and duck egg blue. Its matte finish adds a refined touch, bringing understated luxury to any room.
