We just completed an impromptu photo shoot for our upcoming feature on One Kings Lane. We selected and finished several of our natural area rugs and thought you’d like to see a few photos shot inside our Boston warehouse.
In the background you can see the giant air tables that lift the rugs and allow our craftsman to rotate them as they hand sew the bindings tot he edges of the cut area rugs.

This week we are excited to share a beautiful North Carolina bungalow style home designed by Laura Casey Interiors, LLC with you. Laura Casey helped a young family transform their home into a serene and inviting space to welcome their new baby. To do this, Laura and her team carefully selected a unique color palette that is at once soothing and upbeat. Merida’s Boardwalk Braid rug adds texture to the living space and blends seamlessly with the well-balanced pairing of modern and traditional elements in the room.

The theme of understated elegance is carried into the den, where Laura Casey used Merida’s Cortina rug to add depth and soft texture to the sophisticated retreat, without distracting from the bold pops of color. The overall result is a beautiful home that is elegant but livable and inviting. We look forward to seeing future projects from Laura Casey Interiors.

“I was drawn to Merida Meridian for this project because of their natural fibers, durability, and unwavering commitment to using sustainable and renewable resources for their rugs.”

We’re really excited to share some great media coverage that we recently received in the April/May issue of Lonny Magazine. Lonny is a new online publication dedicated to “accessible design.” Since this is the magazine’s first sustainability-focused issue, we’re thrilled to be included in two sections!
The story of our new e-commerce web site, Merida Home, is told in a fantastic 2-page spread that includes photos of our rugs (including the new Thrive Collection) and production processes. We love that the Lonny editors we worked with were able to include some beautiful photos from our overseas suppliers, too!
Lonny’s editor-in-chief, Michelle Adams, also made an appearance in the issue to report on some sustainable updates that she recently made to her New York apartment. As part of the re-design, Michelle included a beautiful Abaca rug in the living room to avoid the chemical emissions from synthetic carpets. In the article accompanying the photos of her apartment, Michelle noted that her Abaca rug could actually be chopped up and used as compost if she ever decided to get rid of it!
Check the magazine out online at http://www.lonnymag.com. The article on Merida Home is on page 40-41, and the Abaca rug is pictured on page 72, 76-77 and 92. A couple of screenshots from the issue are below!
