Zara Home Just Collaborated With A Historic Icon In British Design – And It's 2026's Answer To Fresh Yet Whimsical Florals

Zara Home x Morris & Co. pillow covers styled in a neutral seating area that features two velvet armchairs.

Zara Home is famously minimalist, a sensibility that feels at odds with the pattern-rich legacy of British textile house Morris & Co. But if you caught last March’s debut, you’ll know these two worlds are already in conversation. This latest chapter deepens it, placing textiles front and center while riffing on Morris & Co.’s most iconic prints.

‘Textiles’ here is, of course, code for a generous new collection of bedding and throw pillow covers, which are now reimagined in thoughtfully desaturated palettes. Tones of powdery mustard, sage green, and pale blue make us fall back in love with familiar florals whilst scratching a very specific 2026 itch for whimsy.

This historically referential collection was shot inside a modern London home, a move that underscores Morris & Co.’s ability to live comfortably in both worlds. This floral bedding feels as relevant now as it did one hundred-something years ago. (Image credit: Zara Home)

Tonally, this collaboration is cooler than you might expect from a house best known for more traditional patterns, and lighter in spirit, too. Among the jacquard and matelassé cushions is bedding woven from natural fibers like cotton and linen, with touches of satin for movement, giving the collection the easy, unfussy feel modern bed sheets demand.

Even furry friends are invited. The floral pet cushion is so generously stuffed and so unexpectedly stately, complete with printed motifs and neat topstitching, that you may briefly question who it’s really for.

Behind the scenes, the Morris & Co. and Zara Home design teams worked in close dialogue, reimagining the house’s iconic florals through a muted, powder-soft palette. A shared tonal base ties each piece together, giving the collection cohesion. (Image credit: Zara Home)

Minimalism is often critiqued for feeling cold or unmoored. This soft-sided collection of subdued florals grounds that very 21st-century sensibility in something real, pushing back with one simple question: how's 165 years worth of weight?

It’s a milestone year for Morris & Co., and Zara Home isn’t their only collaboration worth noting. If you’re craving a little more linen to round out your bedding lineup, their collection with Piglet in Bed is also worth a look, breathing fresh life into some of the season’s most scene-stealing bedding trends.
