Daisy by William Morris – Liberty London Art Print

Daisy by William Morris – Liberty London Art PrintBack in 1864, this daisy pattern belonged to another kind of home painted panelling, oak dressers, rooms that were lived in rather than styled. It still does that job. Hang it and the wall calms down. The repeat is busy up close but reads as a soft green wash from across the room, which is why it works in spaces where you'd usually default to a plain framed botanical. Best on a hallway wall, beside a bed, or above a painted dresser in a country

There's a reason illustrators kept returning to cats

effortlessly and affordably

Faded vintage rugs love it too

Give it some clear wall space and let it be loud

Skip the loud florals and busy patterns next to it — this one prefers quiet company

the soft cream ghost doesn't soften the room

fruit trees crowding the edges

the side of a bright living room — and the whole space picks up a holiday warmth without going full beach house

plaster — while the dark ground gives the wall something to settle against

Pair it with oak or walnut shelving

Pair it with oak or teak furniture
