About this fabric

This detailed repeat brings together white and dark swans, curling botanical stems, blue-grey roses and smaller fantastical bird forms across a pale cream background. Charcoal, slate and muted blue tones create depth without making the colourway feel heavy, while the light ground keeps the pattern open. The surface appears finely textured rather than plush, allowing the printed-like imagery and tonal variation to remain the focus. Its balanced scale and composed palette make it suitable for both upholstery and drapery applications.

How to use it

Use Swansong Daydream to bring a cool, illustrated layer to a cream sitting room, pairing its blue-grey flowers with soft grey paint and its charcoal birds with dark wood or iron accents.

Pair the cool blue-grey and charcoal detail with warm wood, soft cream upholstery and understated antique accents.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Swansong Daydream without fighting it. Mixed across the houses we hold, which is the part a single supplier's book cannot do.

Paint that goes with it

Two ways to take the room. Both colours are from houses we hold, so a pot can come off the same order as the cloth. Screens shift colour, so treat these as a direction and bring the cloth to the shelf before you buy the paint.
