William Morris Designs IX – Snakeshead Pattern

A bold and beautifully structured William Morris design, the ‘Snakeshead’ pattern is a true celebration of symmetry, colour, and craftsmanship.

Featuring a rich tapestry of intertwining foliage and striking floral motifs, this design is instantly recognisable for its rhythmic layout and intricate detail. The deep blue background provides a strong, grounding base, while the soft creams, muted greens, and flashes of red create contrast and visual interest without tipping into chaos.

It’s one of those patterns that rewards a second glance… and then a third… and before you know it, you’re standing there analysing wallpaper like it’s fine art. Which, to be fair, it kind of is.

Perfect for adding depth and character to a space, this piece works especially well in living rooms, studies, or anywhere that could do with a bit of classic English charm.
