Vote for your favourite William Morris pattern!

William Morris: the man who made dramatic, symmetrical designs for fabrics, wallpaper and furniture was a towering figure of the Arts and Crafts movement. Morris was a 19th-century designer, writer, and all-round creative powerhouse who believed your home should be as beautiful as it is functional. Rejecting the soulless mass production of the Industrial Revolution, Morris championed craftsmanship, nature-inspired design, and a return to traditional techniques. The result? Some of the most iconic patterns ever created – lush, detailed, and unapologetically busy. From swirling vines to perfectly poised birds, his designs have stood the test of time, influencing everything from interiors to fashion to your nan’s curtains. But now comes the important question – which William Morris pattern reigns supreme? From our V&A collection – cast your vote now and compare to others tastes!
