It’s always inspiring to connect with partners in person and share the creative vision behind each collection.
What are some design and color trends you’re seeing?
We’re seeing a continued embrace of warm, earthy tones— burnt orange, rust, and rich magentas are especially popular right now. Design-wise, there’s a strong movement toward boho chic and Southwestern influences, with motifs like butterflies, florals, and whimsical rustic patterns resonating across categories. Cottagecore remains a favorite, blending vintage aesthetics with soft charm, while bolder graphic elements like chevron patterns and abstract watercolor effects are gaining traction. Indigo and nautical-inspired palettes are also making a comeback, especially for transitional indoor/ outdoor spaces.”

Don’t miss out new color combinations to our birds of paradise collection as well as the sparrows. The new oxidized wool with exposed weft collection is a must see.
What are some trends you’re seeing in rug designs?
Greens, browns, golds and warmer tones are definitely more trending than the greys and cool blue tones. Despite the less than optimum economic and political news relating to our home decor sector which mainly suffers from lack of individuals moving or upgrading to a new home I expect a busy selling season and more interest in re-decorating. We have special colors and designs combined with great quality and pricings.
It’s important to mention that we will not be increasing our prices this year due to the recent government tariffs.
