Rethinking beauty in everyday objects and how we make them

Learn practical ideas for designing patterns that honor craft, workers, and good taste. This edition presents William Morris’s practical voice on balancing art with work, material, and meaning.

This book examines how surface patterns shape our rooms and our lives. It guides makers and buyers to value intelligent handwork, fair trade, and restrained embellishment over empty novelty. Readers will see how to approach pattern design with care for both aesthetics and the people who create them.

Strategic limits and choices for paper, fabric, and printed wares to avoid dull repetition
Guidance on color, form, and repetition that fosters harmony and durability
Advice on partnering with craftspeople and resisting wasteful, low-quality production
A philosophy of art in daily work, urging responsibility, patience, and integrity

Ideal for readers interested in design history, craft, and how art can influence everyday life.
Some Hints on Pattern-Designing offers a clear, practical view of designing for real-world goods, from wallpaper to textiles, with a focus on beauty that lasts and work that honors makers.
