Swallows Silver

Sanderson One Sixty Wallpapers WallpaperSAW0006-04

Swallows Silver places pale, swooping swallows against a soft blue-grey ground, creating an airy scene with a quietly cool character. Warm ivory and beige detailing gives the birds definition without overpowering the background.

About this fabric

The cool blue-grey ground reads softly in the swatch, while the ivory birds are picked out with delicate warm beige and taupe brushwork. Several swallows cross the design in flight, including a prominent pair near the upper centre and smaller birds entering from the lower edges. This wallpaper has a 52 cm usable width, a 10.05 m standard length and a 76.2 cm vertical pattern repeat. At 148 gsm, it is a lightweight printed wallcovering suited to carrying the design across a feature wall or a full room.

How to use it

Pair Swallows Silver with chalky whites, pale ash woods and quiet taupes to echo its cool blue-grey background, or introduce warm beige accents to draw out the birds’ wing detail. Its spacious flying motif is especially effective in bedrooms, hallways and calm sitting rooms.

Use the cool blue-grey ground with warm ivory and beige accents to bring gentle movement to a bedroom, hallway or elegant sitting room.

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