A treasured visitors' book created by the daughter of Edward Burne-Jones is reimagined as timeless wallpaper designs for modern homes
(August 2026) British wallpaper design studio Willow & Woods has unveiled Margaret: The Visitor's Book Collection, featuring eight hand-drawn wallpapers shaped by an extraordinary creative heritage.
Founder and surface pattern designer Katie Beardsley drew inspiration from a visitors' book begun more than 120 years ago by her great-great-grandmother, Margaret Mackail, daughter of celebrated Pre-Raphaelite artist Sir Edward Burne-Jones, whose lifelong friendship and collaboration with William Morris helped define Britain's Arts and Crafts movement.
Filled with Margaret's own sketches, decorative drawings, photographs and signatures gathered between 1906 and 1912, the book offers a rare glimpse into the creative life of one of Britain's most influential artistic families.
