Swallows Lime

Sanderson One Sixty Wallpapers WallpaperSAW0006-01

Swallows Lime sets pale and soft grey birds against a vivid lime-green ground, with the flock caught in different stages of flight. The open spacing and long, sweeping wings give the design a light, animated quality.

About this fabric

The bright lime ground has a yellow-green cast that feels energetic rather than muted, while the swallows are drawn in chalky white and cool grey with fine feather detail. At 148 gsm, this wallpaper is supplied in a 52 cm usable width and a standard 10.05 m length. Its 76.2 cm vertical repeat lets the birds build a clearly paced flying pattern as drops are hung. The pale birds stand out cleanly against the saturated background, making the colourway especially distinctive in daylight.

How to use it

Use this lively lime colourway to energise a study, bedroom or garden-facing room, pairing it with warm white, pale grey and natural timber. Keep surrounding furnishings relatively quiet so the airborne swallows and their fresh yellow-green ground remain the focus.

A lively lime-green ground and airborne swallows bring fresh movement to a feature wall or full room.

Pairs well with

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