About this fabric

The Koala colourway sits between soft grey and desaturated green, reading cool, quiet and slightly mineral rather than warm or beige. The plain velvet face is visually unpatterned, with a close texture and subtle nap visible across the swatch. Light catches the pile gently, adding depth without creating a strong sheen. As a velvet, it is well suited to upholstered furniture where this restrained colour and tactile surface can be seen at close range.

How to use it

Use this cool grey-green on a contemporary sofa, reading chair or upholstered headboard, balancing its muted tone with pale timber, chalky walls or warm taupe accents.

Use this cool grey-green velvet on an occasional chair, sofa or headboard, pairing it with warm timber and softly coloured upholstery.

Pairs well with

Alpaca Alto Koala 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.
