Home Textiles Today Staff -- Home Textiles Today, 1/27/2011 2:24:10 AM
Encouraged by an improved sales pace in the back half of 2010, area rug suppliers are marching into the New Year with a bevy of fresh looks set to roll out at the various winter markets kicking off in January.
Suppliers said they are rapidly filling their appointment books for the markets, giving them cause to feel assured that buyers are returning to their showrooms to write orders and stock their shelves with new products in the coming months.
Whether traditional or modern, new looks are meeting somewhere in the middle with many nature-inspired palettes and organic design elements dominating the season's trends.
"We are seeing big trends in tonal and textured looks," explained Steven Peykar, principal, Saddle Brook, NJ-based Nourison. "So we have developed a number of new lines that utilize multiple textures, whether by using different yarns or different constructions like hand-made with cut-and-loop textures or others."
Here is a sampling of some major rug suppliers' latest product introductions for winter 2011.
