Designs inspired by Moroccan graphic motifs get a fresh pick-me-up for spring in blue and white. Look for everything from summery dresses like this one by Diane von Furstenberg to the newest outdoor rugs by Safavieh.
Safavieh will debut an entire collection of these timeless but very au courant designs at the April 2012 High Point Market at our showroom in Historic Market Square. These outdoor rugs are specially loomed in Turkey of 100 percent polypropylene so they can be easily cleaned with a garden hose. But the Courtyard collection was designed to be pretty (and practical) enough for indoor use. So they’re turning up in kitchens, hallways, laundry rooms–even the family room.

Safavieh’s Courtyard rug was selected by House Beautiful Magazine for the May 2012 issue in a feature on Kitchen Rugs. Though designed for outdoor use of 100 percent polypropylene yarn, our new introductions are so stylish, the editor loves the idea of using them in the kitchen (where they’re impervious to mildew, clean up easily, and are so easy on the legs and back when standing to do prep work).

Safavieh Trend Alert: Flower Power in Rugs & Fashion |

Power to the flower! Whether you’re looking to refresh your wardrobe or your home, the hot new floral trend is anything but garden variety. For 2012 and 2013 rug collections, Safavieh takes inspiration from hot house orchids, tropical hibiscus, bougainvillea and more. Couture fashion designers are doing the same in everything from dresses to shoes.
We were particularly taken with the artistic beauty of Italian shoe couturier Sergio Rossi’s Spring-Summer 2012 collection: his floral design (above) is so literal it looks as if the foot would be wrapped in vines and long-stemmed blossoms. With this dramatic shoe is an equally high impact floral rug with brown background (Style WYD378C) from Safavieh’s hand-tufted wool Wyndham Collection.

The Gold Rush is on in fashion and home furnishings collections for 2013. From metallic gold threads in upholstery fabrics and decorative pillows, to burnished gold wall coverings and lamps, interior designers are banking their trend forecasts on gold.
Safavieh’s answer to the trend is a new collection of 21 accent tables. They’ll be introduced at the upcoming High Point International Furniture Market, April 21–27, in North Carolina at our showroom in Historic Market Square.

Everyone, including Forbes magazine, is buzzing about the Mad Men design phenomenon.
In an article on March 21, 2012, Forbes writer Lydia Dishman selected Safavieh’s Cheryl Crocodile Lamp with embossed leather base as one of three products best illustrating merchandise that’s causing fans of the show to swoon.
Dishman and other reporters on trends in business and design attribute the show’s influence to the new 1960′s-inspired home fashions and apparel that are “striking the right chord with a community of consumers enchanted by mid-century modern wares.”
Here’s the Safavieh Cheryl Lamp referenced in the Forbes article for its elegant retro style:
And here is the Forbes article by Ms. Dishman as posted on the magazine’s website in advance of the Season Five premiere of Mad Men on March 25:

Ready for pink? Take a look behind the scenes at NY Home Fashions Market with Safavieh.
New York’s spring 2012 Home Fashions Market ends today and lots of retail buyers are thinking pink. This annual show is geared to stores that sell bed fashions, kitchen textiles, accent pillows, throws and rugs—and products that will be on the retail floors this summer and beyond.
At first “blush” it looks like pink may just be the new beige. The softer almost rose-beige and pastel tones of pink are gaining momentum as the new neutral in dresses, handbags and shoes, furniture and interior paint in rooms that are not exactly girly.
Safavieh showed the new blush pink in several rugs—but we have it in ottomans, pillows and chairs.
