Katama Wallcovering Loam

Grasscloth Prints Wallpaper

Katama Wallcovering Loam combines a subdued olive-taupe colour with a densely arranged pattern of rectangular, finely lined blocks. The low-contrast palette gives the wallcovering a calm, tactile presence while the directional lines add measured structure.

About this fabric

The design is composed of interlocking rectangles filled with closely spaced horizontal and vertical lines, creating a patchwork-like geometric surface. In this Loam colourway, deep olive, brown-grey and taupe tones sit together in a muted, earthy register rather than a bright green. Fine tonal variation across the lines gives the surface a dry, grasscloth-like visual texture, while the changes in direction make individual blocks catch the light differently. No performance features or further specification data were supplied.

How to use it

Pair this muted olive-taupe wallcovering with warm timber, aged brass and linen upholstery to draw out its earthy depth. It can also provide a softly patterned backdrop in a study or hallway without introducing a strong colour contrast.

Use this quietly tonal wallcovering to bring layered linear texture and earthy depth to a study, hallway or softly furnished living space.

Pairs well with

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