NEW YORK -- Ernesta, a home design brand offering designer-quality, custom-sized rugs, announces three new showrooms in Birmingham, Michigan, Dallas, and Manhasset, New York, set to open in the first quarter of 2026. Following exponential growth in 2025, these new spaces bolster Ernesta's rapidly expanding brick-and-mortar presence as the brand aims to make custom rugs an essential part of the home.

"We are excited to continue building on Ernesta's momentum and growth, and these new showrooms mark an important next step for the brand," says Jennifer Parker, chief sales officer at Ernesta. "Designers and homeowners alike are telling us they want a more personal, guided way to shop for rugs, one that brings together elevated materials, real expertise and true customization. Our showrooms let us meet customers where they are and deliver that experience in a way that is tactile, welcoming and rooted in good design."

The new showrooms offer a welcoming, hands-on environment where visitors can explore Ernesta's selection of high-quality wool, natural fiber and performance rugs. Designed to support both consumers and design professionals, each location features a designer lounge for one-on-one design consultations to review rug samples in a collaborative setting.
