Wallpaper has been used to cover and decorate the walls of homes for centuries; it has been an important part of interior decoration. William Morris designed some exquisite patterns of wallpaper, many which are still reproduced today to decorate homes.
William Morris led the Arts and Crafts movement of the late nineteenth century. The arts and crafts movement was made up of English designers and writers who started a return to well-made, handcrafted goods as a competition to poor quality machine-made items. Morris set up his own company with fellow artists called Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co in 1861, (later just Morris & Co), which produced everything for interior decorating from furniture and textiles to wallpaper and jewelry.
