William Morris Strawberry Thief Washed Blue Wallpaper

60 GBP

Perhaps William Morris' most recognisable design, Strawberry Thief was inspired by the thrushes that crept under Morris' strawberry nets in his garden at Kelmscott Manor, Oxfordshire. The original pattern took several days to print using hand-carved woodblocks to build up the different colours, and Strawberry Thief was consequently one of Morris' firm's most expensive cottons. Whilst waiting to see the first piece printed, Morris endured sleepless nights in his lodgings at Merton Abbey. Designed in 1883, Strawberry Thief remains one of William Morris' most popular and iconic designs. Strawberry Thief Washed Blue provides an artist interpretation of Morris' classic design, introducing multiple shades of beige with a deep teal blue, beautifully accented by pops of light cream, against a dark teal blue backdrop. Providing a soft intricacy to any room that it features in. Design Match: Straight Pattern Repeat: 52 cm Washability: Spongeable Application: Paste the Wall Paste the Wall - Please note: When using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper, the paste is applied directly to the wall before hanging each strip. This wallpaper is made with a special backing that does not expand when wet; therefore, it does not need to soak as in other application methods. Using Paste-the-Wall wallpaper could cut your hanging time in half. Since the wallpaper does not need to soak prior to hanging, it can be hung more easily and quickly. Also, you won't need to set up a pasting table which can also save you some of the mess and clean up. It is also fully strippable when you fancy a change. Design Match: Straight - Please note: When using a straight design match, the wallpaper design begins and ends within the width of the roll. This makes it easy to see where the seams should line up. The match begins at the ceiling line ensuring that the design will match up on either side of the strip. This creates a horizontal pattern sequence. Please check that all batch numbers are matching before hanging the wallpaper.
