Wide width fabrics, including a range of beautiful sheers, emerge from Morris & Co. this spring in Simply Wide Width. Where layers of heritage are a must in design schemes, this considered and thoughtfully crafted collection offers a fresh perspective on the most iconic Morris & Co. designs, transforming spaces, connecting indoors and out. These light filtering, wide width fabrics and sheers are pared-back in style, offering new perspectives on age-old design stories.
“Simply Wide Width embraces the beauty of layering patterns in interiors, pairing garden palettes with soft neutrals in these much-loved prints that perfectly frame that view outside,” discussed Jess Clayworth, Lead Designer at Morris & Co. “It’s a new perspective on Morris & Co., offering a new view on utilising iconic heritage patterns.”
The collection take a fresh look at The Brook, which takes a nostalgic, almost magical turn in sage and linen. The crispness and beautiful detail of the original design come to the fore in this wide-width fabric. For Morris, tapestry was the highest form of decorative art. Inspired in part by J. H. Dearle’s The Brook Tapestry and the friezes beneath the Holy Grail Tapestries, this digitally printed fabric design recreates the crispness and beautiful detail of the originals. With fresh,
airy colours and mineral tones, The Brook takes on a nostalgic, almost magical element for Simply Wide Width.

The swirling, figure-of-eight hero Pimpernel delights the senses in a wide-width fabric. Produced in 100 per cent cotton in tonal colours reminiscent of some of our most adored shades. Inspired by the 1876 wallpaper of the same name, these new shades soften the dramatic tulip leaves and wildflowers of this iconic Morris & Co. design, and become the perfect frame for windows and doorways.

Pure Acorn is a beautiful monotone fabric featuring a pared-back representation of acorn branches originally designed in 1879. The artwork was created using the original wooden Morris & Co. hand-printing blocks and is now printed as a wide-width, crafted from cotton and lyocell.
Pure Willow Boughs is an offshoot of another much-loved Morris design, reproduced as a printed wide-width fabric, echoing the wallpaper design. The original pattern from 1887 has been updated and printed on cotton and lyocell fabric in two soft colourways.
Inspired by colours from the Pure Morris palette, Pure Marigold works beautifully as a wide-width design. Stripped back and subtle, this tranquil monotone
print was designed by Morris in 1875 and is one of the few designs Morris produced for wallpaper and fabric. Crafted from cotton and lyocell.
A muted palette with tranquil neutrals, heavenly greens, and the softest shades of blues, pinks, and lilac creates new design stories for heritage icons. Brand new wide-width sheers complete the collection, offering a glimpse of the outdoors through delicately crafted fabrics in iconic heritage designs.
