Koala

Kasia Carpet

Koala presents as a muted taupe-brown surface, balancing soft cocoa warmth with a subtle grey cast. Its close, tactile texture creates gentle tonal movement without a visible motif.

About this fabric

Catalogued as a Carpet, Koala has a dense, short-textured appearance across the swatch. The colour sits between warm grey and soft brown, with fine lighter and darker fibres producing a restrained, mottled effect. Its compact surface absorbs most of the light, while tiny raised fibres catch it softly and prevent the shade from appearing flat.

How to use it

Use Koala where a quiet taupe-brown foundation is needed, pairing its softened warmth with natural wood, oatmeal textiles or deeper chocolate accents. Its low-contrast texture works particularly well on substantial upholstered forms.

A dense, quietly mottled taupe-brown surface with a soft, tactile finish.

Pairs well with

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.
