About this fabric

The Loam colourway reads as a subdued taupe-brown with a cool grey cast, giving the design more depth than a straightforward warm brown. Its surface shows gentle mottling and cloudy tonal variation, visible across each broad geometric field. Narrow pale lines outline and intersect the large rectangular forms, creating a precise architectural counterpoint to the softly textured ground. The low-contrast palette keeps the linear pattern restrained while allowing its structure to remain clearly visible.

How to use it

Use Loam across a study, dining room or snug where its deep greyed taupe tone can create a composed, enveloping backdrop. Pair it with warm timber, aged metal and pale upholstery to pick up the wallcovering’s fine light lines.

Use its deep greyed taupe ground and pale linear geometry to give a room a quiet, architectural backdrop.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Meridian Wallcovering Loam without fighting it. 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.
