About this fabric

Catalogued as wallpaper, Offset Wallcovering Loam presents a finely striated surface in layered taupe, brown and soft grey tones. Irregular horizontal bands shift subtly across the image, with darker threads and lighter flecks creating the impression of natural grasscloth texture. Its low-contrast, earthy colouring feels grounded rather than stark, while the linear direction adds gentle visual length to a wall.

How to use it

Use Loam across a study, snug or bedroom wall where its warm taupe-brown depth can sit alongside timber, aged leather, linen and softly patinated metal. Keep adjoining furnishings calm so the fine horizontal texture remains the room’s quiet backdrop.

Use this earthy taupe-brown ground to bring quiet horizontal movement and tactile depth to a room.

Pairs well with

Offset Wallcovering Loam is a quiet cloth, so it carries a pattern beside it: one of these on the curtains and this on the chair. 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.
