Koala is synonymous for being Sri Lanka’s only integrated lifestyle solutions provider having under its umbrella residential and commercial interiors, stainless steel fit outs, hospitality brands, civil construction and lifestyle showrooms for retail.
Therefore, it is only natural that very few lifestyle stores in Colombo can emulate Koala offerings to customers for an inspiring ambience for shopping. As such the Koala Lifestyle store after its successful pre-launch several months ago has now re opened its new expanded signature showroom located at 64, Green Path, Colombo 3. The nation’s unique lifestyle destination store, now completely refurbished, looks forward to welcoming customers once again; this time to a totally new feel.
Throughout its two decade history Koala has continuously differentiated itself. Today the company’s showrooms in Colombo and Kandy showcases distinct modern interior lifestyle themes. Presenting all its exclusive designs under one roof, the revamped store in Colombo is set to become a benchmark in modern contemporary lifestyle concepts and designs. As they step inside, customers will experience the store’s transformation, echoing Koala’s beautifully customs designed, well-manufactured unique products they have become accustomed to, reaffirming it as the Number One, distinct and different lifestyle store.
Additionally, with the influx of new condominiums and apartments in the city, Koala’s showroom interior themes reflect the nouveau local trend of minimalistic and modern furniture being sought.
Koala Ltd. COO Thiyan Dep said: “The Koala Green path showroom has concept spaces that showcase lifestyle themes capable of offering an immediate solution or inspiration. We don’t sell pieces of furniture, we focus on the total inspiration that our concept spaces offer. The store’s entire product and service range is curated with utmost care providing customers an inspiring and eclectic mix.”

Customers have the benefit of choosing fabric from Koala’s imported fabric collection and customizing the in house upholstery designs to their colour specification making it truly unique and more importantly reducing the time that a custom piece can be delivered.
