Fly Away Away Grey pairs a cool dove-grey woven ground with scattered ivory swallows captured in flight. The pale motif stands clearly against the muted background while retaining a soft, airy feel.

About this fabric

The fabric shows detailed white-to-ivory swallows, each outlined with fine feather markings and angled differently across the grey field. Its 224 gsm weight and 137 cm usable width make it a versatile mid-weight choice for upholstery and drapery. The design has a 63 cm vertical repeat and 45.7 cm horizontal repeat, giving the birds a noticeable but balanced medium scale. The lightly textured weave softens the contrast between the cool grey ground and the brighter flying motifs.

How to use it

Use this cool grey colourway on a relaxed armchair, roman blind or scatter cushions, pairing it with chalky whites, pale timber and other quiet blue-grey tones. The ivory birds add movement without introducing a strong, saturated accent.

Use the cool grey ground and ivory swallow motif to bring gentle movement to upholstery, curtains or cushions.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fly Away Away Grey 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.
