Custom rug brand Ernesta has opened its newest showroom in Fairfax, Va., located within the Mosaic District just outside Washington, D.C.

The Ernesta Fairfax showroom carries the brand’s full assortment of wool, natural fiber and performance rugs, and offers consumers one-on-one consultations with Ernesta’s in-store team. The showroom also offers expanded customization capabilities, including stair runners, cutouts and more.

“With its vibrant mix of design, retail, dining and community experiences, the Mosaic District feels like a natural fit for Ernesta,” said Jennifer Parker, chief sales officer at Ernesta. “As we continue to expand our retail footprint, we’re focused on bringing our highly personalized approach to more customers.

“Building upon our Washington, D.C. metro presence that started with our Bethesda location, this new space will give homeowners and designers in Northern Virginia a dedicated place to explore custom rugs, collaborate with our team, and create pieces that are uniquely suited to the way they live.”

Founded in 2022, Ernesta offers designer-quality, custom-sized rugs in as little as two weeks. The Fairfax showroom marks the brand’s ninth location.

Revival Rugs has just launched its new Pool Collection, a new line of machine-washable rugs inspired by the calming movement of water and mid-century design.

The collection taps into two current design trends:

• Ondu brings in soft, organic movement with rippling, wave-inspired motifs that add quiet texture and dimension.

• Glace embraces the rise of solid, tonal rugs, using rich monochromatic color and subtle recessed texture to create depth without relying on bold patterns.

• Ondu brings in soft, organic movement with rippling, wave-inspired motifs that add quiet texture and dimension.

Both styles are crafted from velvety, OEKO-TEX-certified chenille and feature Revival’s signature washable construction.

Feizy Rugs is offering fresh arrivals for Las Vegas Market, including the new Gia, Gilmore and Jaxson collections.

The new Gia hand-knotted rug collection is woven from a mix of Gazni and New Zealand wool and viscose, showcasing an abstract modern design. The collection features textured cut-and-loop piles in a chic combination of gray, purple and gold, offering a contemporary statement for discerning interiors.

Abstract and geometric patterns take center stage in the new Gilmore collection. These rugs are machine-made in Turkey and stand out with bright colors that add vibrancy and energy to any interior setting.

The Jaxson Collection, crafted in India, features New Zealand wool and a machine-made construction. Hand-carved details and a high/low cut pile create a visually appealing three-dimensional design. Worsted spinning adds a luxurious feel and enhances durability, while hand washing gives the rug a refined finish. The contemporary style, inspired by fine art and natural surfaces, showcases irregular layered patterns in gray, ivory, blue, beige and red.

Attendees of the Las Vegas Market are also invited to join the company for Sips and Sounds on Sunday, July 26 from 4 – 6 p.m. along with karaoke from 5 -6 p.m. at the Feizy showroom C-180.
