The parlour was a striking room even by the standards of Penhallick House. The Morris paper on the walls held a dense pattern of leaves and clusters of flowers in red and blue and yellow, woven through with thorny tendrils studded with tinier flowers in startling white. It filled the walls in wide panels between dark, carved wood that stretched from the floor and formed arching ribs where it met the ceiling.

THE DEFENCE OF GUENEVERE AND OTHER POEMS by William Morris. (London/New York/Bombay: Longmans, Green, 1900) Reprinted from the Kelmscott Press edition. Art binding.
Originally issued in 1858 when the author was just 24 years old. Morris first became enamored with all things medieval while a student of Oxford. This unattributed binding is a lovely example of the Arts and Crafts style.

The World of Interiors presents Visitors’ Book from Emery Walker’s House at 7 Hammersmith Terrace. Together with William Morris, Emery Walker was a trailblazer of the arts and crafts movement during the 19th and 20th century. Emery Walker’s Georgian terrace overlooks London’s River Thames, and is preserved as a snapshot in time with Walker’s furniture and objects.
From the drawer containing some of William Morris’ personal items to the hand-embroidered coverlet by William’s daughter, May Morris, the densely-decorated, jewel-toned interiors preserve a vibrant slice of Walker’s milieu. “Emery Walker’s house is a really unique survival of a truly authentic arts and crafts interior,” says Helen Elletson, curator of the William Morris society. Watch the full episode of Visitors’ Book as we explore Emery Walker’s charming and historic house, and view the new collection of wallpapers and fabrics from Morris & Co, which are inspired by the house.

Finally got to Shadowbringers on ffxiv and I both hate and love the Crystarium. Hate it because i keep getting lost, the map is NO help. Love it because that aesthetic though.
I got spoiled by accident on the Exarch's identity long ago and I must say, I never thought he'd be such a dedicated student of the Arts and Crafts movement but I'm sure not complaining...

The willow rooms were a pair of matched bedrooms tucked down the end of a corridor. The furniture was modern and thin-limbed, the walls painted a pale green from waist height down and papered above that in a pattern of willow boughs.
In the room assigned to him, Robin ignored the bustling of the upstairs maid who was clearly doing her best to prepare a room on five minutes’ notice, and went to run his hands over the wallpaper.
“This is William Morris.”

PARADISE LOST by John Milton. (London: Hammersmith: Doves Press, 1902). Bound at Cobden-Sanderson.
Although influenced by his friend William Morris, founder of the Arts and Crafts Movement, Cobden-Sanderson had his own idea of what constituted “the book beautiful”. He favoreds clean open lines and margins, in a modern translation of Renaissance ideals. Each book was an individually created work of art.
