About Me and Willy
Welcome to Willy Morris Home Emporium - a curated haven where timeless design, everyday beauty and artistic craftsmanship come together. My retail model is Print on Demand and my online store was established in December of 2023.
I've always wanted to live in an old English Victorian Manor house, every room decorated in an over flowing abundance of William Morris & Co patterns, comfy couches, fluffy cushions, a wood fire burning in the grate, long walks in the English countryside and back for Tea!
Willy Morris Home Emporium lives for you to curate a lovingly crafted home with classic maximalism William Morris textile designs and create a contemporary rustic cottage feel.
Inspired by the visionary William Morris and the soul of the Arts & Crafts Movement, my collections celebrate the idea that your home should be both a work of art and a sanctuary. Every piece I offer - from the richly patterned textiles to the heirloom-worthy ornaments and botanical prints - is chosen with heart, history and intention.
At the heart of my emporium is a love for the hand-crafted, the meaningful and the magical. Like Morris himself, I believe that “Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful" and I champion the return of artistry to the everyday - whether that’s a throw cushion in your reading nook or a hand-turned wooden ornament on your holiday tree.
Each item in my store tells a story - of craft, care and quiet rebellion against the disposable. I honour the old world charm of Morris’s nature-inspired motifs and infuse it with a touch of modern joy for the dreamers, makers and homebodies who long for something more soulful.
This is more than décor.
This is your invitation to slow down, find beauty in the details and fall in love with your home all over again.
Welcome to the emporium. I'm so glad you’re here.
With warmth,
Deborah (Chief Curator - Willy Morris Home Emporium)

I love Maximalism but I hear you ask, what is Maximalism?
Maximalism is the art of more-is-more; layered patterning, beautiful colours, ample accessories and art (likely hung "salon-style"), and a real sense of playfulness and bold gestures. And who sums up this look better than the OG of pattern and colour himself, William Morris!
William Morris (24th March 1834 – 3rd October 1896) was a revolutionary force in Victorian Britain whose creative work dramatically changed the fashions and ideologies of the era. As a craftsman, designer, poet, printer, socialist, novelist, and environmentalist, Morris was not only influential in his own time, but his legacy remains alive and important today.
