The archive, and why the patterns still work
The designs Morris & Co. draws on were made for hand-blocked wallpaper and woven textile, which means they were built to repeat at close quarters without the repeat becoming obvious. That is a harder problem than it sounds and it is why the patterns hold up on a duvet cover, where you look at them from thirty centimetres away every night.
The drawing is dense. Acorns, willow boughs, birds and pomegranates fill the ground rather than sitting on it, so the pattern reads as texture from across a room and resolves into detail when you are close. A sparser print does the opposite and looks thin on a large surface.
The palette
The colours are muted and layered rather than bright, drawn from natural dyes: herbal greens, indigo, madder red, ochre and undyed cream. They sit comfortably against wood, brass, painted panelling and stone, which is why the range suits an older house and a plainer modern one equally.
Because the palette is consistent across the archive, pieces from different designs work together. A bird and pomegranate sheet under an acorn duvet cover is a deliberate look rather than a clash, which is not true of most patterned bedding.
What we stock
Bedding runs to duvet cover sets and fitted sheets, in percale cotton with a garment-washed finish. Bath covers mats and towels in pure cotton. Cushions carry the same prints in a smaller format, which is the easiest way to bring the pattern into a room that is not a bedroom.
Sizes run through the standard UK range. Where a piece is a set, the product page states what comes in the pack rather than leaving it to convention.
Care
Many pieces in the range are pure cotton and wash at 40 degrees. Wash darker prints separately for the first few cycles, and keep bleach away from anything dyed, including the optical brighteners in some detergents, which grey a natural-dye palette faster than almost anything else.
Tumble dry on a low heat where the product page allows it. Percale rewards being brought in slightly damp and pressed warm if you want the crisp finish it is capable of.
