AmericasMart expands holiday decor and plant collections for 2016 event

ATLANTA – November 23, 2015 – Leading seasonal décor and faux botanical collections are significantly expanding their AmericasMart Atlanta 2016 footprints in preparation for the industry’s first and largest buying event of the year, The Atlanta International Gift & Home Furnishings Market.

“The holiday and floral industry’s best lines recognize that AmericasMart is the place to connect with the industry’s best buyers,” says Brooks Beard, executive director of Leasing for Holiday & Floral/Home Décor. “The growth in both our showroom selection and sizes confirms that these trend-makers are using the Atlanta Market to show their most comprehensive collections to leading retailers and designers.”

Major expansions in the five-floor Holiday & Floral/Home Décor Market place include Kaemingk International (Floor 18) expanding to showcase a new lighting line as well as Floridus Design Images (Floor 18) and Naturalstar (Floor 19), both relocating to significantly larger showrooms. In addition, Darice (Floor 20) and Melrose International (Floor 17) also expand their spaces.

New showrooms joining the collection include Starcrafts (Floor 19), Holidynamics (Floor 20) and Seasons Direct (Floor 19), who is returning to AmericasMart.

AmericasMart Floor 20 has undergone a transformative renovation in preparation for the January 2016 Market. The top floor of the Holiday & Floral/Home Décor center now showcases AmericasMart’s Chairman and Founder, John C. Portman, Jr., signature Portman White color.

The Holiday & Floral/Home Décor collection also hosts Hallmark Home (Floor 16), a wholesale subsidiary of the Hallmark buying group and the Palmer Marketing (Floor 19) during the Market.
