Directly sourced from one of the earliest Morris & Co. designs (Trellis, 1864), Morris’s Trellis is a gorgeously earthy green with hints of brown. Within the garden at William Morris’s Red House, the rose trellis was a gathering place for notable figures of the Arts & Crafts movement. Highly opaque and low sheen, the eggshell paint finish offers a fresh, enduring quality. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying. All surfaces to be painted should be clean, dry and free from loose and flaking material including dirt and grease. Prime base surfaces with an appropriate primer. Rub down previously glossed painted surfaces with fine waterproof abrasive paper and rinse thoroughly. Avoid the inhalation of dust. Wear a suitable face mask if dry sanding. Special precautions should be taken during preparation of pre-1960’s paint surfaces as they may contain harmful lead. Prime base surfaces with an appropriate primer. Stir well before use and apply by brush or roller. Apply 2
Despite being a paint product, this Morris & Co eggshell finish is surprisingly versatile for styling. Its water-based acrylic formulation ensures a durable, low-odour surface, making it ideal for spaces that require both aesthetic appeal and practicality. I love how it pairs with neutral or muted tones, allowing textured rugs, such as natural fibres or subtle patterns, to stand out without clashing. It works particularly well in living rooms or bedrooms where a calm, sophisticated backdrop is desired. Practical tips include balancing this sleek colour with warm textiles and layered accessories to add visual interest and comfort. For a cohesive look, incorporate elements that echo the colour palette in your rugs and upholstery, creating a relaxed yet refined environment.
