About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and approximately 138cm wide, this Lucerne colourway has a clean, almost misty blue tone that feels cool and polished rather than strong or saturated. The fabric appears plain with no visible repeat, which lets the subtle changes in light across the silk become the focus. Its fine, elegant handle and soft reflective finish give the swatch a crisp, tailored look. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for this exact fabric.

How to use it

Use this china blue for full-length curtains, relaxed Roman blinds, or pared-back cushions where the pale tone can lift a room. It pairs especially well with chalk white, silvered greys, and blond woods.

A pale, silvery blue silk that suits elegant curtains and light, refined upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

Lucerne China 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.
