About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and approx. 137cm wide, this Lucerne Silks colourway has no visible repeat, which keeps the surface serene and continuous. The cloth shows a fine, slightly slubby silk texture with small irregular highlights that catch the light and give the taupe depth. Ceres Taupe sits in a restrained warm taupe range, lighter than true brown and richer than a simple beige, so it feels polished without looking sharp. With care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM, it is a refined choice for elegant window treatments and decorative soft furnishings.

How to use it

Use Ceres Taupe for softly tailored curtains, where the subtle silk sheen will brighten a room without adding contrast. It pairs especially well with oak, plaster pink, chalk white and aged brass for a layered, calm scheme.

A quietly elegant neutral that flatters warm wood and pale stone interiors.

Pairs well with

Ceres Taupe 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.
