About this fabric

Part of the Lucerne Silks collection by Colefax and Fowler, this fabric is 100% silk with a width of approximately 137cm. The weave reads as fine and fluid in the image, with delicate horizontal striations that catch the light and break up the surface gently. Slate Blue appears here as a muted, cool-toned grey-blue with a restrained shimmer, making it feel polished rather than bright. With no repeat at approximately V 0cm / H 0cm, it offers an uninterrupted look that suits clean-lined interiors. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact cloth.

How to use it

Use this slate blue silk for full-length curtains, relaxed blinds or cushion covers in rooms that favour soft metallics, pale stone and dark timber. Its cool, understated sheen works especially well in calm, tailored schemes.

A refined, quietly lustrous silk that suits tailored curtains and elegant soft furnishings.

Ceres Slate Blue is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
