Dalton, Ga. —

Shaw Living unveiled 57 new rugs in transitional and contemporary themes during the High Point market.

The new rugs include additions to the popular Impressions and the award-winning Accents collections.

Shaw also introduced the machine woven olefin Transitions collection of 22 rugs in contemporary designs and colors — including rich reds, warm neutrals, golds, and soft greens accented with eggplant, brown, and vintage blue. Some also feature onyx and beige for a shiny color effect.

Impressions has grown to 49 total rugs with the addition of 17 new rugs. They include: Applause, a contemporary design with gradient color on a rich black background; and Requiem, a classic damask pattern offered in two color combinations — black with white and blue with brown. Impressions rugs are made of soft olefin yarn in a dense construction.

Accents has been expanded with 18 new styles, bringing the total offering to 55 machine-made olefin rugs. New looks include: Animal Skins, and the zebra-like Zimbabwe.
