About this fabric

Woven in 100% silk and approximately 138cm wide, Lucerne Graphite has no visible repeat, which keeps the finish calm and continuous across a larger drop. The cloth shows the characteristic irregular flecking and fine slub of silk, with a matte-lustrous surface rather than a high shine. Its graphite tone reads as a muted grey with cool depth, softened by the natural variation in the weave. The Q 8 + T 3 care code and √BM fire code make the specification clear for interior use where a smart, tailored silk is required.

How to use it

Use this graphite shade for elegant curtains, Roman blinds, or full-length drapery where the subdued sheen can sit against limestone, oak, or painted joinery. It also brings a restrained, modern note to layered interiors with pale neutrals and darker metal finishes.

A refined graphite silk that works beautifully for tailored curtains and understated scheme layering.

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.
