The US interiors market is one that is looked to and admired around the world. Selling trends in North America typically send ripples across the globe—when US interior designers said yes to the shade of greige that Giorgio Armani introduced in his summer 1975 collection, the rest of the world soon followed. The design industry may have an international outlook and trends often have a global reach, yet American design has long reflected its own history. From the extravagance of Art Deco in the 1920s when the economy boomed, to the neon colour palette of the advertising driven 1980s, to the need for well-being in the noughties, design has always responded to real life situations.

Textural techniques enhance the design elements in this handknotted rug by Tamarian, which is a winner with designers. Portal Natural is in stock in standard sizes as well as being available in custom dimensions
Creative Touch
For Creative Touch, Bosphorus HW16/16—part of the brand’s Lifestyle collection—is an overall best-seller. The grey, white and charcoal high-quality wool and bamboo silk combination in a high-low texture works well for clients.
Ashley Stark Home
Created from handknotted wool, the Art Deco inspired Danika rug by Ashley Stark Home pays homage to classic design. Its warm caramel field provides the perfect background to the Greek key motif. A good choice for diverse applications.
Wool & Silk
Derived from art by Laura Wait, Strawberry Moon has done well in various markets for Wool & Silk. Georgia Pahl says: ‘The tones in the rug are all very flexible, the design makes a statement without clashing with other colour palettes’
