Pimpernel Wallpaper – Ocean – William Morris

This hand block printed design features large sensual tulips and their curling leaves, intwined with foliage and small pimpernel flowers. The pattern is a wonderful example of William Morris’ sense of humour since on initial inspection your eye is drawn towards the dominating, graphic tulip heads and yet the name of the design is attributed to the secondary floral detail; the smaller Pimpernel flower. Pimpernel Ocean displays a depth of detail through its multi-tonal palette of mid-tone blue and light grey hues, subtly accentuated by notes of blush pink represented in the flowers featured weaving throughout and finally brought to life by a soft beige feature colour. This wallpaper comes in a matt finish, adding a contemporary feel to a classical design.
