Ernesta celebrates first texas showroom with posh Dallas party. A first look at the company redefining the rug-buying experience.

(Photo by Tamytha Cameron Photography) I earnestly plead with you, dear reader, to lend me your ears. When it comes to rug-buying, Ernesta is changing the game by offering designer-quality, custom-sized rugs via an approachable, hands-on, in-store experience. This is especially good news for Dallasites because the brand prioritized setting up shop right here, recently opening a showroom in Preston Royal Shopping Center. "We've seen a growing customer base in the Dallas metro area, driven by a deep appreciation for craftsmanship and highly customizable, high-quality home furnishings," said Jennifer Parker, Chief Sales Officer at Ernesta, which was founded in 2022. "Opening a showroom in Dallas allows us to work more closely with the local design community and offer hands-on support around quality and customization." PaperCity partnered with Ernesta to celebrate the category leader's new 1,256-square-foot space in Dallas, one of the country's most influential design hubs. DFW design enthusiasts readily flocked to the party, toasting Ernesta with cocktails as they admired the brand's wide-ranging offerings of wool, natural fiber, and performance rugs. Guests heard from both PaperCity magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Billy Fong, who welcomed everyone, as well as Ernesta's CEO and co-founder, John Foley, who shared Ernesta's core belief that the right-sized rug in the right material and construction is the foundation for expert design. Ernesta serves both consumers and trade professionals, providing a hands-on environment where visitors can: * Explore the different fibers * Receive tailored guidance from Ernesta's team * Review samples and customization options As a home owner who is always making *improvements,* the seemingly-endless customization options particularly intrigued me. We're talking stair runners, corner shapes, fireplace cutouts, etc. The world is your oyster! A rug that's too small or too large can single-handedly ruin a space, and Ernesta's team is here to make sure you get things just right. Most impressively, Ernesta's custom-sized rugs can be cut (down to the inch!) in as little as two weeks(!). The convivial celebration showcased how Ernesta's brick-and-mortar presence reflects their thoughtful (dare I say earnest?) rug-buying approach that places service at the center. Even the showroom's plush lounge invites shoppers to stop and sit a spell for their one-on-one consultation. Ernesta Dallas is located at 6025 Royal Lane, Suite 330, and is now open Monday through Saturday from 10 am to 6 pm and on Sundays from 11 am to 5 pm.
