Why Small-Scale Pattern Matters
The quieter repeats in a room are often the ones doing the most work. Small-scale pattern brings rhythm, connects larger motifs and adds texture without asking to become the focal point.

Pattern Inspiration
The quieter repeats in a room are often the ones doing the most work. Small-scale pattern brings rhythm, connects larger motifs and adds texture without asking to become the focal point.

Pattern Inspiration
A layered room does not depend on fabrics that match. It comes from changing scale, repeating color selectively, and allowing texture to separate one pattern from the next.

Pattern Inspiration
As the light begins to shift in fall, natural wallcoverings bring depth to a room without asking for a seasonal palette. A closer look at the way grasscloth changes pattern, color and the surface of a wall.

Coastal Living
As the light changes and the days grow shorter, warmer color, natural materials, and familiar patterns bring a new feeling to the rooms we live in.

Charleston Collection
Café curtains offer privacy without sacrificing natural light. Four original patterns, all featured in the Southern Living Idea House, bring a distinct point of view to the window.

THE COMPANION COLLECTION
The Companion Collection, a considered assortment of textured performance solids and velvets developed to coordinate with my original patterns and ground a scheme.

Collections
The markings animals and insects wear, from the Carolinas and beyond, read as pattern — and printed on Belgian linen.

NECTAR
Two new colorways for our honeycomb-inspired woven — Sugar Plum brings a soft neutral calm; Savannah brings a fresh, garden green.

THE CHARLESTON COLLECTIONS
The Charleston Collection was the beginning of Emily Daws textiles. A look back at the place, materials and familiar forms that shaped the first collection and continue to inform the work today.

A KIAWAH RIVER HOLIDAY
At the 2024 Southern Living Idea House, woven Nectar became part of the holiday story through custom stockings, tree skirts and a palette designed to settle naturally into the rooms around them.
