Wallpaper in the 19th century included many distinctive wallpaper patterns designed by William Morris, father of the Arts and Crafts movement.Using stylized forms and motifs from nature, Morris created flat but intricate patterns inspired by Pre-Raphaelite painters and late–Middle Ages tapestries. Several designers worked with Morris, and many of the original Morris & Co designs are still in production today. This laundry room shows the fresh, delicate pattern of Iris, designed by J.H. Dearle, one of the designers at Morris & Co in 1887.
