Loam

Pimlico Carpet

Loam is a softly shaded mushroom taupe from Cormar’s Pimlico collection. Its close, even loop structure gives the surface a tactile, finely pebbled appearance, with gentle tonal variation across the swatch.

About this fabric

Supplied as a Wool Loop in the Carpet category, Loam has a dense field of tiny rounded loops visible throughout the image. The colour sits between warm taupe, stone and muted brown, avoiding both stark grey and strong beige. Its compact texture catches the light in small flecks, creating depth without a decorative motif or pronounced pattern. The overall effect is grounded and relaxed, with the wool loop construction giving the colourway a tactile, quietly substantial character.

How to use it

Use Loam where a room needs a warm, grounded neutral: it pairs naturally with oak, unbleached linen, mushroom upholstery and softly aged leather. Its muted taupe-brown tone is especially effective as a calm base for rooms built around natural textures rather than strong colour contrast.

A warm mushroom-taupe loop texture that brings quiet depth to understated, natural interiors.

Pairs well with

Loam 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.
