Homeowners are heeding the trend and are increasingly making use of their outside spaces, creating a surging market for decor items that can withstand the outdoor elements. As a pioneer of the outdoor/indoor area-rug category, Couristan has the most diverse and fashionable selection of weatherproof floor-covering designs and has now developed a space-effective new merchandising unit to help dealers showcase these vibrant styles. Just in time for the summer season, Couristan is offering its new Outdoor Living merchandising display box, which retailers can use to feature a custom assortment of all-weather area rugs from Couristan’s Recife and Five Seasons collections.
