Greensboro, N.C. — BridgeTower Media — the parent company of Home Accents Today, a sister publication of Long Island Business News — last month acquired industry trade publication Furniture Lighting & Décor from Scranton Gillette Communications, a deal that unites two powerhouse home furnishings brands.
Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
“We are extremely excited about the combination of these two great brands, and look forward to providing even more value to both readers and advertisers in the months and years to come,” said Hal Cohen, CEO of BridgeTower Media.
A reimagined and redesigned Home Accents Today debuts this month with dramatically expanded coverage of the lighting industry, providing long-time Furniture Lighting & Décor readers with all the coverage they’ve come to expect.
In addition, they will find familiar features and columns, such as the Design Coaching Center and Technology Watch to help them grow and enhance their business. Home Accents Today also will continue to deliver all the industry news, trends and feature reporting the industry has relied on for nearly 40 years.
Home Accents Today’s enhanced website will house historical coverage from Furniture, Lighting & Décor as well as complete access to its past monthly issues, ensuring continuity for long-time readers of both brands.
“We are so excited to start this next chapter of Home Accents Today, which incorporates the best of both brands and will continue to deliver the top-notch home décor industry coverage that we have always been known for,” said Editor-in-Chief Allison Zisko.
