Owl & Willow Bayleaf/Orange

Morris 160th Anniversary Wallpaper WallpaperMOW0095-01

Owl & Willow Bayleaf/Orange unfolds across a muted bayleaf-green landscape populated by a white horse, a reclining lion, birds, flowering trees and sweeping willow branches. Warm orange blossoms and fruit bring gentle contrast to the cool green ground.

About this fabric

The detailed scenic composition combines winding blue-green water, clustered foliage and finely drawn woodland animals, with orange-pink blossoms punctuating the bayleaf background. A 68.9 cm vertical pattern repeat gives the design its generous, mural-like rhythm, while the horizontal repeat is listed as 0 cm. The supplied specification records a 68.5 cm usable width, a 10.3 m standard length and a 150 gsm weight. In this colourway, the olive green reads softly muted rather than bright, allowing the warm orange flowers, ochre lion and pale horse to stand out with measured depth.

How to use it

Use this bayleaf-and-orange colourway to create a richly illustrated feature wall in a study, bedroom or garden room, pairing it with warm timber, soft blue-green textiles and restrained rust accents.

A luxe scenic wallpaper for bringing woodland animals, willow trees and warm orange accents into a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Owl & Willow Bayleaf/Orange 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.
