"I often select a beautiful rug as the springboard for my design scheme. The fabric hues, tones and textures
relate directly to what I am reading in the rug. Nothing defines the integrity of the space like a finely woven piece. Antiques rugs are my ‘go to’.”

VIBRANT NEW HOME FOR RUG TEMPS
During The Atlanta International Area Rug Market featuring
the National Oriental Rug show in January, buyers have the opportunity to explore collections from a broad spectrum of exhibitors. In addition to the showroom offerings, the temporary exhibits have a new home on Floor 7 of Building 1. Proximity to some of the top Home accents, furnishings, linens and textiles companies in the industry creates a unique synergy.
“Locating our area rug temporaries so close to our home temporaries creates a seamless buying experience. Our rug temps have long been a staple of savvy home buyers, and now they can shop and source these exhibitors even more conveniently,” says Kevin Malkiewicz, vice president of leasing for AmericasMart.
Retailers and designers can conveniently source a variety
of exceptional rugs from across the globe as they shop
other categories. “As the floor is often the first thing the eye notices when you enter a room, decorative rugs are a key element in interior design,” says Alix Perrachon, principal of
Alix Unlimited, LLC. “Decorating has never been easier thanks to your ability to select rugs from a dazzling array of styles and price points, all conveniently located in one building at AmericasMart together with the latest in home accents, furnishings, and
linens collections.”
The Temporaries are open on Floor 7 of Building 1 from January 12-16.
