Collection: Morris & Co Paint

One of the single most influential figures of the nineteenth century, William Morris was a political theorist, publisher, environmental campaigner alongside a brilliant designer. Under his direction and guidance, Morris and Co quickly grew into a fashionable Arts & Crafts decorating firm renowned for its wallpapers and textiles. 

Fast forward to today, the Morris and Co brand is now looked after by the Sanderson design group who build on that proud heritage with inventive reimaginations of Morris & Co. classics.

Upholding the impeccable standard of craftsmanship which has defined all Morris & Co. products since their inception, Sanderson design group designs are inspired by treasures in the Morris & Co. archive.

Featuring a timeless collection of 40 beautiful colours, Morris and Co paint collection has been hand mixed by expert craftspeople who ensure to uphold the legacy of its founder. Some of our favourite colours include:

How to prepare your surfaces:

Before application can begin, all surfaces should be clean, dry and free from loose, flaking material including dirt and grease. Base surfaces should be primed with an appropriate primer, whilst any previously glossed painted surfaces should be rubbed down with a fine waterproof abrasive paper. (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.

Applying Morris & Co Paint:

Stir paint tin well before and apply using a brush or roller. For optimum results, apply 2 coats however additional coats may be required on new plaster or where a larger colour change is desired.

The Morris and Co paint range is made up of two popular finishes, they include:
