"Our Resort Collection has been growing for the past several years and now boasts some of our most exciting pieces," he added.

Five of the new designs feature floral and botanical motifs: Grasmere, Asheville, Mazatlan, Tropicana and Miranda.

Grasmere shows delicate flowers and leaves in natural greens, grays, and pops of ochre floating throughout the rug; Asheville is filled with oversized and boldly colored blooms for a festive feel in outdoor space; similarly Mazatlan depicts large floral designs but in more subdued palettes of browns, greens and deep ochre; Tropicana is an Art Deco-inspired look that incorporates oversized palm leaves and tropical flowers in a fresh red, white and green palette; the two-tone Miranda has dark teal-colored fern leaves falling across a soft teal background; and finally Edith features a chartreuse background to offset a contemporary written messages in French.
