Area Rugs Fashion Show

Okay, I have to admit I love Project Runway, the designers, the fashions, the witty and impeccable Tim Gunn, and of course the season finale at where the finalist get to show their lines at New York’s Fashion Week. I think why I like is so much is that I can equate the couture fashion industry with the home fashion industry Rugs to My Door is part of. We have designers, color, texture, and even our own equivalent of New York’s Fashion Week. (I guess all we’re missing is the witty and impeccable Tim Gunn but I try to make up for it)

Twice a year the home fashion industry (and the more importantly the area rug manufactures) gathers to have our very own Fashion Week. Like couture, we don’t just gather in one place. We have our New York, Paris and Milan, but we call them Atlanta, High Point and Las Vegas. Not quite the j’nais c’est quais of the couture cities, but we do have our fun, and we do get to see and select some wonderful new area rug products for our customers.

Every summer myself and my partner take approximately two weeks of our schedules and attend at least two of the three major area rug “fashion shows”. We look for the newest designs, colors, ideas, and trends to bring back to Rugs to My Door and to our loyal customers. We look for new lines that bring you the best area rug options to your home. We look for the newest color ideas to help brighten that space that has started to look a bit dull. We look for new ideas that help you be inspired not just with a new rug, but with a new sense of being. We take this job seriously and although we do have fun, we work at making sure our customers get the best area rugs possible. Oh, and of course we look for ways to bring you those new ideas, colors, designs and patterns at a price that doesn’t break the bank and makes you feel like you got a great value.

By the time we get done with our two weeks in the summer, processing all the new area rug ideas, designs and colors; getting them into our system so you can start to purchase them, it’s time for the winter “fashion shows” and time to start all over again, bringing you the best of the best. Like the clothing industry, we are usually working one season ahead. We’re looking in summer for the trends for the winter and following spring. And in the winter, we are looking for the rug trends for the summer and fall. But as you’ve noticed at Rugs to My Door, we think we succeed in making sure our customers always have the latest and greatest. We strive to make sure you and your home have the latest fashions options, and that you know what the trends are.

Finally, if you are looking for something in particular, feel free to drop us a line, we will be glad to look for you when we are at our rug fashion shows. We are more than willing to be your personal designer, even though we’re not on Bravo, not called Project Runway and unfortunately not Tim Gunn
