The wonderful world of William Morris & Emery Walker
With a mutual passion for design, William Morris and Emery Walker forged a friendship that would ultimately transform the British arts & crafts movement. A dynamic duo with a shared vision to galvanise the world of interior design, William Morris’ unique eye for detail is sensationally showcased throughout Emery Walker’s magnificent Hammersmith home. Morris applied his appetite for English countryside grandeur to each wall of the home, enriching every nook, cranny and corner with a profusion of heritage colours, ornate repeating patterns and subtly gothic accents.

Emery Walker’s Hammersmith Home
Unbeknown to him at the time, Walker and his now iconic home would go on to become a key figure in preserving Morris’ respected designs. His home at 7 Hammersmith Terrace now serves as a mesmerising museum, proudly exhibiting William Morris’ inimitable works. The residence, which continues to attract legions of tourists and aspiring creators, remains one of the largest repositories of in-situ Morris & Co. designs.
The pristine preservation of Walker’s home is nothing short of incredible, and primarily creditable to Sir Emery’s daughter, Dorothy. In 1999, she and her close friend, Elizabeth de Haas, took over stewardship of the house, under the Emery Walker House Trust and from this preservation, a breathtaking collaborative collection was born.
