Voyager 40

Plain Fabric

Voyager 40 brings a cool blue-and-cream palette to Swaffer’s Plain collection, with a small, broken pattern woven across a pale ground. The close-up shows a gently nubby surface rather than a flat, uniform colour.

About this fabric

The pale cream ground is scattered with cool medium-blue marks that form a small, irregular repeat, giving this colourway a lightly patterned appearance. Blue and cream yarns work together to create soft visual depth, while the woven construction lends the surface a granular, tactile character. Its restrained contrast keeps the design relaxed and approachable, with the blue reading fresh rather than dark or saturated. No performance features or further specification data are noted for this fabric.

How to use it

Use Voyager 40 where a room needs a fresh blue accent without a strong block of colour: it would suit relaxed upholstery or softly patterned curtains alongside warm cream, pale timber and understated neutral finishes.

A softly textured blue-and-cream weave that brings gentle pattern to upholstery, curtains or blinds.

Pairs well with

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Voyager 40 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.
