William Morris’s Morris & Co. wallpaper has had incredible staying power. And now, for those ready for a fresh take on the Arts and Crafts genre, there’s Ellen Merchant’s growing line of nature-inspired patterns.

The rising young British textile and wallpaper designer is a traditionalist with a sense of verve. She works out of an old barn in East Sussex where she hand draws her work and figures out the repeats. She then has the patterns fabricated in ways Morris would recognize and approve: the fabric is screen printed in London in a sequence of layers; a fourth-generation family outfit in Lancashire uses engraved rollers to make the wallpaper.

“My designs celebrate the handmade, color, and the joy of pattern,” says Merchant, who is offering her line in the US for the first time at Studio Four NYC. A capsule collection is also available at Anthropologie (scroll to the end for a glimpse).

Merchant writes: “My wallpaper is produced using a traditional roller printing technique dating back 100 years, a process that has changed very little in that time. We print on FSC-approved paper using nontoxic, water-based inks that maintain all the charm and character of the original hand-blocked design.”
