The Howard family employed the company in their London house, and again at Castle Howard, Yorkshire, and at Naworth Castle, Cumberland, where several Morris papers still survive. Major country houses such as Wightwick, near Wolverhampton, and Standen, Sussex (completed in 1894), built by Morris's architect friend Philip Webb were furnished extensively with Morris papers. At Standen the Billiard Room had Pomegranate, while the Drawing Room had Sunflower in green, as a background for paintings. Each of the 12 bedrooms had Morris paper, mostly the lighter patterns. At Wightwick, where the decorative scheme was not supervised by Morris & Co., the owners chose the papers themselves and the prevailing style and colouring was richer and more typically Victorian than Standen. Morris papers, such as the large-scale Acanthus, were used in conjuction with other contemporary wallpapers, and other wall coverings, such as chintz.
The amount of pixels an image contains gives an idea of how sharp the image will be. An image with a high number of pixels will be sharper than one with fewer pixels. Therefore, to cover an entire wall, you will need a photo of a much higher quality and with many more pixels than you would need to cover a smaller surface. A number of factors other than pixels will also determine whether the photo quality is good enough to create wallpaper. The light balance in the image also has an impact on the result. A dark image often needs to be of a higher resolution to work well. The focus of the image is also key. Images depicting motion often need to be of a higher resolution than still images taken using a tripod. This guide gives a rough idea of the picture size needed for different wall sizes. Before printing, we will check your image to ensure the quality of the wallpaper is good enough.

Morris designed over 50 wallpapers, and his firm produced a further 49 by other designers including George Gilbert Scott (usually credited with Indian), Kate Faulkner (Carnation), and J.H. Dearle (Compton). Every pattern employs plant form, whether expressed in a luxuriant naturalism (Acanthus, Pimpernel, Jasmine) or a flatter, more formalised style (Sunflower). In common with many of the writers offering advice on home decorating, Morris maintained that the choice of wallpaper must take into account the character and function of the room. He advised that

and these things, though 'ingenious amusing, attractive for the moment', do not 'lie within the legitimate province of art'. Manufacturers were blamed - their eagerness to sell wallpapers encouraged 'a public who prefer the vulgar, the gaudy, the ugly even, to the beautiful and perfect .'
Also in 1852, Wilkie Collins gave a vivid vignette of contemporary tastes in his novel Basil. The eponymous hero goes to the home of Margaret Sherwin, and there meets her father, a successful draper newly risen to the middle-class. Basil describes his first sight of the decor in the Sherwin household:
In the Dining Room and the Morning Room, Fruit was used, with a blue ground in the latter. The large first-floor Drawing Room was papered in a yellow and white version of Larkspur, a light, unassertive background to a dense hang of pictures. When the house was redecorated by Sambourne's daughter Maud in 1912, the original scheme was preserved as far as possible. Maud wrote:
He goes on to observe that the French also spend more on their materials, and on the process of manufacture itself, and value their skilled workmen more highly. 20 years later, however, French critics were also complaining about the public's fondness for papers which imitated other materials, particularly those which achieved their effects by trompe l'oeil techniques. In L'Art nit Foyer Domestique , Emile Cardon followed Eastlake in urging a greater discrimination in the choice of house furnishings.

She recognises that the paper and the room's heavy furnishings are well matched. And Oscar Wilde, so often associated with the Morris style, in fact disliked Morris papers and preferred the Japanese leather papers which he used in his own London house at 16 (now 34) Tite Street. The architect Richard Norman Shaw also disapproved of Morris's delight in 'glaring wallpapers', though several of his clients (such as Wickham Flower at Old Swan House) favoured them. Shaw wrote:
