SADDLE BROOK, NJ — September 2, 2025 – Leading floor covering and home accents manufacturer Nourison Home is opening a new destination showroom at 260 Fifth Avenue in New York. The showroom will display a selection of their key products including area rugs, accent rugs, carpets and home accessories. The previous showroom at 230 Fifth Avenue has been closed.

The new location is a few blocks north of their previous showroom and is in the heart of Manhattan’s Flatiron district.
