About this fabric

The loam-brown surface is crosshatched with fine horizontal fibres, giving the colourway a dry, tactile character. Slim light-beige lines build irregular rectangles, angled joins and sweeping arcs across the ground, creating a large-scale architectural pattern. The muted contrast keeps the geometry composed, while the brown tone reads warm, shaded and quietly dramatic. As a wallpaper, it brings both pattern and textural depth to a room without relying on a bright colour contrast.

How to use it

Use this deep loam colourway behind timber furniture or alongside woven brown upholstery, where its pale geometry can echo natural grain and handmade textures. It would also suit a softly lit study, dining room or snug that benefits from a darker, enveloping wall.

Pair the deep loam ground with warm timber, woven fibres and aged ceramic for a grounded, architectural scheme.

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.
