Lucerne French Grey is a calm, luminous silk with a pared-back look and a cool, silvery cast. The surface has a gentle sheen that lets the shade read as light and airy rather than flat.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk, this Lucerne Silks colourway has a fine, understated texture and a softly reflective finish that catches the light across the cloth. The image shows a very pale French grey with cool undertones, sitting close to off-white but with enough depth to register as a distinct neutral. With no visible repeat and a width of approximately 138cm, it lends itself to elegant, uninterrupted drops. The overall effect is refined and understated, with the silk’s natural sheen giving the shade a subtle sense of movement. Care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM are supplied for reference.

How to use it

Use it for tailored curtains, simple roman blinds or a softly draped interlining layer where the cool grey tone can keep a room feeling bright. It pairs especially well with chalky whites, pale oak and brushed metal finishes.

A quiet, light-reflective silk that softens beautifully into elegant curtains.

Pairs well with

Lucerne French Grey 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.
