Emett Saltwater
Orly Fabric
Emett Saltwater has a cool blue-grey ground with a finely worked, close-set herringbone pattern. The understated weave gives the surface a softly textured appearance, with lighter threads picking out the directional motif.

About this fabric
This Orly colourway reads as a muted saltwater blue, softened by pale grey threads rather than a strong or saturated blue. Its small-scale zigzag weave creates a consistent chevron effect across the swatch, while the flecked yarns add gentle tonal variation. The compact woven surface has a tailored, quietly structured character that suits both upholstery and drapery. In changing light, the alternating threads give the blue-grey shade subtle depth without introducing a bold contrast.
How to use it
Use Emett Saltwater to bring a cool, composed tone to a room with chalky whites, pale timber or warm taupe accents. Its small herringbone texture works neatly on an occasional chair, headboard, blind or full-length curtain.
A cool, tailored blue-grey weave for understated upholstery, cushions or curtains.

A pattern needs somewhere for the eye to rest, so these are the plains and textures that sit beside Emett Saltwater without fighting it. 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.
