Lucerne Taupe

Lucerne Silks FabricF3931-59

Lucerne Taupe is a quietly luminous silk in a soft, warm taupe that reads calm and refined in the light. The plain surface lets the fabric’s subtle sheen and gentle tonal depth do all the work.

About this fabric

Woven in 100% Silk and offered at an approximate width of 138cm, Lucerne Taupe has a clean, unbroken appearance with no visible repeat, making the colour and finish the focus. The shade sits between beige and brown, softened by a pale, silken cast that keeps it airy rather than heavy. Its surface has a delicate lustre that catches light without looking glossy, giving the cloth a smooth, elegant handle in the image. The supplied care code Q 8 + T 3 and fire code √BM confirm this is a proper interior textile suited to considered furnishing schemes.

How to use it

Use Lucerne Taupe for full-length curtains, Roman blinds, or relaxed upholstered pieces where you want warmth without visual weight. Its muted taupe tone pairs especially well with oak, chalk white, and deeper brown accents.

A quietly lustrous silk for elegant curtains or refined upholstery accents.

Pairs well with

Lucerne 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.
