William
Morris was the nineteenth century’s most influential designer. Morris was a
great artist and was well known for his typefaces and unique designs, he was
also well known for his textile designing, architectecture and his wallpaper
designs. William Morris created some of the most unique wallpaper designs which
are really natural and were very specific with his fine patterns. Morris’s
wallpapers have a mixture of historic and modern patterns mixed together. He
repeated his patterns and used different colours which made his work
a lot more attractive. William Morris’s
wallpaper patterns are some of his best-known pieces of art which were inspired
by the natural world. William Morris also specializes in poetry writing and
fiction translation of ancient and medieval texts, which made him from other
artist's. Above is William Morris’s
first wallpaper design which is called the ‘Trellis woodblock’. This was
inspired by the rose trellis in his garden. I really admire this first piece
that he’s designed as it shows reality using rose plants and birds on wood. William
Morris’s main source to wallpaper design was plants and
gardens which he observed in his garden or the country walks he went on.
