S&H RUGS

Suites at Market Square, M-1015, Second Floor - shrugs.com

What new introductions will you be showing at the spring High Point Market?

This season, we are thrilled to introduce a highly curated selection of round and square hand-knotted rugs. While traditional rectangular rugs will always be a staple, we are seeing a massive shift in how designers and homeowners want to shape their spaces. Our new collection leans into this evolution, offering versatile shapes paired with soft textures and warm palettes to solve modern design challenges.

Do you have staff members who deserve extra recognition or praise?

Absolutely. We want to shine a spotlight on Kristina Drozd, our new sales associate. Even though she is a recent addition to the team, she has already hit the ground running and made an incredible impact on our client relationships. Kristina brings a deep level of expertise to her role, allowing her to anticipate client needs and offer truly tailored solutions. Combine that with her meticulous attention to detail, and she ensures that every project and communication is executed flawlessly. The result has been overwhelmingly positive: she consistently goes above and beyond, making our customers incredibly happy and confident in our rug services.

Abstract design #SH10376 from S&H Rugs, Suites at Market Square M-1015

Our latest collection represents an unmatched variety of textures, materials, and styles, thoughtfully curated to inspire our buyers. We are bringing you everything from incredibly luxurious wool and silk blends to eco-conscious organic wools. Our new lineup spans the entire design spectrum: fresh, contemporary designs for modern spaces, historically rich and intricately geometric Mamluks, beautifully dimensional Abrash Khotans, and so much more.

Highlights include pieces crafted with natural vegetable dyes, blending classic Persian garden motifs with arts and crafts motifs and distinct abrash color variations.

We are also thrilled to introduce new, highly tactile textures to the market. Buyers will discover our innovative hand-knotted wool and silk pile kilims, as well as pure wool rugs featuring a rich, variegated looped and cut pile. Best of all, these tex tured masterpieces offer exceptional accessibility.

What are some design and color trends you’re seeing?

Right now, we are seeing a major shift toward warm, nature-inspired palettes. Our buyers consistently gravitate toward rich golds, grounding browns, terracottas, and organic greens. After years of cool, stark neutrals dominat ing the industry, people are craving spaces that feel cozy, soulful, and connected to the outdoors. These earth-centric tones provide the perfect balance: they act as incredibly versatile foundational colors while still bringing a sense of life, sophisticated luxury, and comforting warmth to a room.

MOMENI

IHFCH-345 - www.momeni.com

What new introductions will you be showing at the spring High Point Market?

This season, we’re introducing several brand-new machine made collections that combine elevated design with everyday performance. Affordability paired with durability continues to be in high demand, and these new constructions deliver both—offering rich texture, dimensional pattern, and accessible price points without compromising quality.

In addition, we’ve expanded some of our most well-renowned collections, including Form and Contour, with new styles and colorways that build on their success while reflecting current design direction. We’re also unveiling our new Icon Cabana Stripe Collection for Novogratz X Momeni, a fresh, graphic take on classic resort-inspired design that brings bold color and tailored structure to both indoor and outdoor spaces. In addition, we’ve expanded some of our most well-renowned collections, including Form and Contour, with  new styles and colorways that build on their success while reflecting current design direction.

What are some design and color trends you’re seeing?

We’re seeing a strong return to warmth and depth in interiors. Earthy greens and rich browns are leading the conversation, layered with warm neutrals that create grounded, inviting spaces. Slate-inspired cool blues are emerging as a sophisticated counterpoint, offering balance and versatility. A major predicted influence heading into 2026 is the rise of Neo-Deco, a bold yet refined direction that blends vintage retro aesthetics with modern livability.

Equally as important as style, we’re seeing continued demand for affordability mixed with durability. Design ers and consumers alike are prioritizing rugs that deliver long-term performance and value without sacrificing aesthetic impact—making construction, fiber innovation, and price accessibility just as influential as color and pattern.

We’re looking forward to seeing how industry trends continue to evolve and how designers are interpreting them in new ways. Market is always an energizing opportunity to reconnect with our community—from long-standing partners to new collaborators—and to share ideas, inspiration, and innovation face to face.

The individuality and spontaneity of Taimanys make this collection incredibly vibrant and unique.

What are you most excited about for this upcoming High Point Market?

We’re delighted to be returning to High Point as part of the COVER Connect Pop Up.

Market is always a wonderful opportunity to see people in person and share what’s new.

What are some design and color trends you’re seeing?

We’re seeing a return to more decorative and traditional rug designs, but interpreted with fresh, modern colors. Green continues to be very strong, and overall there’s a shift away from ultra-contemporary styles toward rugs with more pattern, character, and personality.

Do you have any market events planned? Any other news to share?

We’re looking forward to participating in the COVER Connect events and initiatives during market and connecting with the trade community throughout the week.
