About this fabric

This colourway reads as a cool, muted charcoal grey with a gentle silken sheen rather than a strong dark finish. The 100% silk composition gives the surface a smooth, lightly lustrous look, while the plain weave keeps the effect calm and understated. With a width of approximately 138cm and no vertical or horizontal repeat, it is easy to use for tailored window treatments where a clean, uninterrupted fall is desired. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire rating are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use Lucerne Charcoal for full-length curtains, Roman blinds or pared-back cushions where a cooler grey tone will sharpen warm woods and soften black accents. Its restrained depth suits smart, layered interiors rather than high-contrast schemes.

A refined silk with a cool charcoal cast that works beautifully in tailored curtains or elegant blinds.

Pairs well with

Lucerne Charcoal 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.
