Ernesta, the innovative home design brand known for its gorgeous, custom-sized rugs, has expanded its reach with the opening of its second showroom in the bustling Bethesda Row, located in downtown Bethesda, Maryland. This expansion follows the successful launch of its first location on Manhattan’s Upper East Side earlier this year, highlighting Ernesta’s commitment to providing a unique and accessible shopping experience for design enthusiasts and professionals alike.
The new 800-square-foot Bethesda showroom is strategically located in the heart of a vibrant commercial district, recognized as a destination for home decor. This prime location will allow customers and design professionals to explore the complete Ernesta collection, receiving personalized assistance to help them find the perfect rug size and style for their specific needs. For design professionals, the showroom offers a dedicated lounge where they can review samples with their clients in a comfortable and conducive setting.
The opening of the Bethesda showroom coincides with the launch of Ernesta’s new Trade Portal, a dedicated platform designed specifically to support design professionals. This innovative online platform provides designers with exclusive access to the full Ernesta rug collection, offering a streamlined browsing experience and self-service checkout. This commitment to supporting the design community reflects Ernesta’s dedication to providing designers with the tools and resources they need to create stunning spaces for their clients.
“Our Bethesda showroom marks a significant step forward in Ernesta’s growth strategy as we expand our reach into the thriving design communities of Maryland and Washington, D.C. This new showroom will be a hub for both design enthusiasts and professionals to connect with our brand and receive expert guidance,” said Jennifer Parker, Chief Sales Officer of Ernesta. “With a nearly 5x increase in applications to our Trade program, it’s clear that designers are eager for more support and resources. In response, we’re thrilled to launch our new Trade Portal, underscoring Ernesta’s commitment to empowering the design community with advanced tools and premium products.”
