This has not one but two rooms fully covered in wallpaper designed by William Morris and the effect is just impressive.
While we usually see William Morris’ wallpaper and fabric designs in more traditional interiors (think London townhouses), in this apartment, they have been mixed up with Scandinavian touches for a more toned-down and minimal look that is still full of character and personality.
A mix of wallpaper designs and a minimal Scandinavian touch
The main bedroom has been covered with the Pimpernel design, while the guest bedroom is a perfect showcase of the natural forms in the Willow Boughs minor design. The living room and the kitchen have a more minimal look with painted walls in a natural color palette.
The patterns and colors in the wallpapers add a lot of texture to the interior, which has been toned down by a modest Scandinavian interior design with a mixture of Danish classics, vintage pieces, and fabrics in soft and natural tones.
Pimpernel wallpaper from Morris co
The master bedroom has been covered in the from Morris co, which has an impressive effect on the interior of this room. The popular design inspired by the natural world is feminine yet robust and the complex structure of the pattern was chosen by William Morris personally to decorate his Kelmscott manor.
The warm tones in the flowers in the wallpaper design come back in the beautiful mixture of textiles on the bed, in the natural wood tones of the furniture, and in the textile lampshade next to the bed.
The light oak bench behind the bed combined with the textured area rug give the bedroom a light Scandinavian look which contrasts the Morris co wallpaper nicely.
Off-white walls and vintage pieces in the living room
The living room has been painted in a subtle off-white wall color that makes the white trim on the ceiling stand out in a subtle way. The light hardwood flooring is darkened by the dark beige area rug underneath the sofa and the mixture of warm wood and beige textiles makes the interior look cozy and inviting.
The daylight coming through the windows is softened out by the sheer beige curtains and the vintage furniture pieces add a lot of character to the space. The floating shelves by the bedroom doorway are built all the way up to the ceiling, which gives them an impressive look.
A simple dining area in the kitchen with greige walls
While the kitchen itself is a bit outdated, I think the dining area really makes up for it. The kitchen walls are painted in greige, which is paired up with a beautiful round oak dining table and .
The white area rug lightens up the color palette in the kitchen and the is the perfect place to gather glass containers in the kitchen.
A more modest wallpaper design in the guest bedroom
While the wallpaper in the main bedroom has quite a bold design, for the guest bedroom combined home office space a more modest William Morris design was chosen.
The design has a subtle look that is perfect for smaller spaces and depicts patterns of delicate willow leaves that is also available as fabric designs. William Morris designed this pattern in 1887 and it’s so impressive to see it in so many interiors still today.
