William Morris Jasmine Art Print V&A Centenary Exhibition Poster
William Morris Jasmine Art Print — V&A Centenary Exhibition
One of the most delicate and graceful designs in the entire William Morris canon, Jasmine captures the climbing, curling quality of the plant with the characteristic lightness and botanical precision that made Morris's work so enduringly loved.
This print is presented in the format of the iconic William Morris Centenary Exhibition poster, held at the Victoria & Albert Museum, South Kensington — one of the most celebrated Morris exhibitions ever staged and a landmark moment in the renewed appreciation of Arts and Crafts design. The exhibition format gives the print a gallery quality that feels both historically significant and beautifully contemporary.
About the design
Jasmine was designed by William Morris in 1872 as a wallpaper, and reflects his deep study of climbing plants and their natural growth patterns. The design features the delicate star-shaped flowers and paired leaves of the jasmine plant, arranged in a flowing, asymmetric repeat that winds and curls with the natural movement of the vine.
The palette is characteristically soft and light — sage green, warm terracotta and cream on an ivory ground — making Jasmine one of Morris's most airy and serene designs. Where some of his patterns achieve their impact through density and richness, Jasmine works through restraint: the open composition and pale tones create a sense of space and calm that feels entirely at home in a modern interior.
The design was later reproduced for the V&A's Centenary Exhibition as one of the defining examples of Morris's botanical wallpaper work, cementing its status as one of the most important designs of the Arts and Crafts Movement.

How to style it
Jasmine's soft, pale palette makes it one of the most versatile Morris prints for light, contemporary interiors. The cream and sage tones work beautifully in bedrooms, living rooms, hallways and home offices — particularly in neutral, Scandi or Japandi-inspired schemes where the delicacy of the design can breathe. The V&A exhibition format gives it a particular elegance that suits a solo display as much as a gallery wall.
A simple white or natural wood frame is the natural choice, keeping the focus on the beauty of Morris's design. Pairs beautifully with other pale-toned Morris prints — Willow Bough, Daisy or Chrysanthemum — for a cohesive, light botanical gallery wall.
A perfect gift for V&A admirers, Morris & Co. enthusiasts, and anyone who loves botanical art with a genuine historical pedigree.
