Fusuma Wallcovering Loam

Name: Fusuma Wallcovering Loam

Fusuma Wallcovering Loam is a richly muted olive-brown wallcovering with a large, irregular arrangement of outlined rectangular panels. Its softly crinkled surface gives the dark tone subtle movement rather than a flat finish.

About this fabric

The broad geometric blocks are defined by fine pale outlines, creating a restrained architectural pattern across the deep loam-coloured ground. Close-up, the surface appears gently crinkled and mottled, with tonal shifts that catch the light across each panel. As a wallpaper from Mark Alexander’s Collage IV collection, it is suited to creating an enveloping, low-contrast backdrop. The earthy olive-brown shade reads warm and grounded, while the linear layout keeps the overall impression considered and contemporary.

How to use it

Use Loam on a feature wall or throughout a softly lit study, dining room or bedroom where its deep olive-brown tone can create an intimate atmosphere. Pair it with aged timber, dark bronze and warm neutral upholstery to echo the wallcovering’s earthy depth and fine panel lines.

Use this deep olive-brown wallcovering to bring quiet architectural structure and earthy depth to a room.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Fusuma 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.
