Swift Wallpaper Red

Small Design W/Papers Wallpaper07176-04

Swift Wallpaper Red pairs a pale stone-grey ground with repeated coral-red floral medallions, each framed by delicate grey leafy sprigs. The restrained contrast gives the pattern a softly faded, quietly decorative character.

About this wallpaper

The design forms a regular vertical lattice of circular red botanical motifs, with fine grey foliage linking each medallion. Its coral-red tone is muted rather than bright, allowing the pale ground to remain prominent while giving the pattern gentle warmth and depth. Made from 100% paper, Swift has an approximate vertical repeat of 10cm and horizontal repeat of 13cm. The compact repeat keeps the small-scale ornament evenly distributed across the wall.

How to use it

Use this colourway where a room needs pattern without a strong saturated accent: it would sit comfortably behind pale upholstery, warm stone tones or painted wood. The coral-red medallions can be picked up in a small cushion or softly coloured accessory for a considered, low-contrast scheme.

A softly coloured botanical medallion design for adding gentle pattern to classic or relaxed interiors.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Swift Wallpaper Red 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.
