Chrysanthemum Chalk

Morris 160th Anniversary Wallpaper WallpaperMOW0037-02

Chrysanthemum Chalk presents Morris & Co.’s chrysanthemum design in a pale, chalky cream colourway. Fine grey-green botanical outlines sit gently against the light ground, giving the repeated flowers a quiet, washed appearance.

About this fabric

The design is filled with open chrysanthemums, curling stems, pointed leaves and smaller clustered blooms, all rendered in delicate, low-contrast linework. Its cool grey-green and ivory detailing creates a softer, airier impression than a strongly contrasted floral wallpaper, while the chalk ground keeps the overall effect light. The vertical pattern repeat is 52.1 cm, with no horizontal repeat listed. Each standard length measures 10.05 m, with a 52 cm usable width and a stated weight of 194 gsm.

How to use it

Use this pale chalk-and-grey-green colourway where a room benefits from gentle pattern without visual heaviness, such as a bedroom, landing or light-filled sitting room. Pair it with warm ivory paint, pale timber and understated natural textures to retain its softly faded character.

The low-contrast chalk palette brings a softly layered botanical character to bedrooms, hallways and refined living spaces.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Chrysanthemum Chalk without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
