Los Angeles -- The Rug Market America kicked off 2013 with several new initiatives, including the expansion of its presence at the Atlanta AmericasMart with a new showroom in time for the International Area Rug and Gift + Home Markets this week.

At these overlapping events, which coexist at Atlanta's AmericasMart, the company will show more than 100 new home décor lines encompassing area and accent rugs, decorative pillows, high end furniture pieces, gift items, candles and other accessories.

The new space is located in Building 1, Floor 12, space B-8.

"For 2013, we are again focusing on the trade shows that are sound investments in reaching our retail partners," said Mike Shabtai, founder and owner of The Rug Market America. "We have expanded our space in Atlanta to illustrate the direction we are taking to connect with our customer base and to grow our business."

The company also announced the launch of its new East Coast-focused show calendar. Following the Atlanta show, The Rug Market America's show schedule for 2013 will include the spring and fall High Point Markets as well as the Dallas Gift and Furniture Market, the New York International Gift Fair and returning to the Atlanta Gift and Home Furnishings Market in July.
