Bakbak Wallcovering Loam brings a dark, earthy presence to the wall through overlapping rectangular panels in loam brown, taupe and charcoal. Fine linear striations give each section a subtly woven, tactile appearance.

About this fabric

The colourway is led by deep loam brown, with cooler charcoal and muted taupe blocks creating subdued variation across the surface. Its design is formed from offset rectangular panels, with changes in direction and tonal depth making the patchwork structure clearly visible. Closely spaced horizontal and vertical lines run through the panels, producing a finely textured effect that softens the geometric layout. As a wallpaper, it offers a richly layered backdrop with a grounded, low-contrast character.

How to use it

Use this loam-brown colourway to envelop a study, dining room or snug where its charcoal undertones can reinforce dark timber, aged leather and warm neutral furnishings. The varied rectangular layout works especially well across a broad feature wall, where the fine striations can be appreciated at close range.

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.
