FAQs
What is the historical significance of the Pimpernel design?
Pimpernel was designed by William Morris in 1876 and was notably used to decorate his own dining room at Kelmscott Manor.
Can I use this wallpaper in a bathroom?
While the paper is high-quality, it is best suited for dry living areas. Excessive moisture in bathrooms can impact long-term adhesion and surface integrity.
Does this wallpaper come in other colors?
Yes, Morris & Co offers the Pimpernel design in various colorways, including blue options, to suit different interior themes.
How do I ensure the pattern matches correctly?
Align the patterns along the edge of each sheet as you hang it, ensuring the swirling tendrils flow seamlessly from one strip to the next.
Is this wallpaper pre-pasted?
Please check the specific roll packaging for application instructions, as most high-quality Morris & Co wallpapers require the application of a suitable adhesive to the wall or the paper.
Troubleshooting
Pattern misalignment at seams
Check your pattern repeat measurement again and ensure that the plumb line is perfectly vertical before applying the next sheet.
Visible air bubbles after drying
Use a wallpaper smoothing tool to gently push the air toward the nearest edge; if bubbles persist, you may have used too little adhesive.

- Sophisticated and bold black color palette
- High-quality material suitable for high-traffic areas like dining rooms
- Classic symmetrical pattern that provides timeless appeal
Cons
- Requires professional-grade measuring for pattern alignment

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before installation, ensure that your walls are smooth, primed, and clean. Given the complex nature of the Pimpernel design, it is essential to calculate your pattern repeat carefully before cutting the paper. For best results, seek the assistance of a professional wallpaper hanger, particularly when matching the swirls and circular trellis components at the seams.
For maintenance, use a soft, dry cloth to dust the wallpaper regularly. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the finish of the printed pattern. If spot cleaning is necessary, gently dab the area with a slightly damp cloth, ensuring you do not soak the paper.
