William Morris Animal Art Prints

Morris drew animals the way he drew everything else, flattened, patterned, tucked into leaves and branching stems. Hares sit among foliage, birds face each other across a repeat, creatures peer out of dense green. It's a good look for hallways and quiet corners that need pattern without noise. If you have a specific creature in mind, the William Morris bird art prints, fox prints and butterfly designs each have their own collection.

Which William Morris animal print should I choose for a living room?

Strawberry Thief is the one most people fall in love with, and for good reason. Its symmetrical composition and rich jewel tones make it a natural focal point above a sofa. We'd recommend a framed 70x100cm print in our black or natural wood frame, hung centrally about 15cm above the backrest. The deep indigo background works beautifully against warm neutrals like cream, sage, or terracotta walls, so it slots into most living rooms without clashing.

Do William Morris animal prints work as framed wall art, or are they better as wallpaper?

A framed William Morris animal art print gives you the beauty of the pattern without the commitment (or cost) of full wallpaper. You get a contained burst of that intricate detail rather than overwhelming a room, which is especially useful in smaller UK spaces like hallways or bedrooms. Our framed prints arrive ready to hang with solid wood frames and UV-protective glazing, so the colours stay true for decades. It's also a much easier gift, if that's what you're here for.

What animals appear in William Morris designs?

Birds dominate, especially thrushes, which star in the famous Strawberry Thief. You'll also find peacocks, hares, rabbits, foxes, and various songbirds woven into dense floral and botanical backgrounds. Morris drew from real wildlife he observed at his Kelmscott Manor estate, so the animals always feel grounded in the English countryside rather than purely decorative. If you're drawn to birds specifically, our William Morris bird prints make a lovely pair when hung side by side in a study or reading nook.

Are these prints good quality enough to give as a gift?

Honestly, this is one of our best-selling gift categories. The prints are museum-grade giclée on thick matte paper, and the framed versions arrive ready to hang with solid FSC-certified wood frames and no bubble-wrap-and-pray assembly required. We hear constantly from customers that the quality looks even better in person than on screen. With our 99-day returns policy, even the most particular recipient has plenty of time to decide.

What is the most famous William Morris print?

Strawberry Thief, without question. Morris designed it in 1883 after watching thrushes stealing strawberries from his kitchen garden at Kelmscott Manor, and it became one of the most commercially successful textile designs in history. As a wall art print, it's the perfect entry point into Arts and Crafts animal prints because it balances bold pattern with a colour palette that works in almost any room. If you want something a little less expected, look for his Woodpecker or Bird designs, which carry the same DNA but feel more like a discovery.
