Affiliated Weavers Cameo Area Rug

A rug is the fastest way to change a room: it defines a seating area, warms up a hard floor, and pulls the furniture and colours together in one move.

In simple terms: Affiliated Weavers Cameo is a ready-made area rug, the easy way to warm up a hard floor and anchor a seating or dining area. No install, just the right size and a rug pad. Squarefoot Flooring stocks it.

The weave and the feel: It is power-loomed by machine, giving a clean, consistent pattern and a hard-wearing surface at a friendlier price than a hand-knotted rug. It blends polypropylene with polyester, pairing the toughness and stain resistance of polypropylene with the soft hand and lustre of polyester, a forgiving combination for family rooms. A low 8mm pile keeps it sleek and easy to maintain, sits well under doors and dining chairs, and handles traffic without showing wear. The look is contemporary, so the patterns lean modern and current, an easy match for a clean, updated room. It is woven in Turkey. It comes in colours such as Black, Earthtone, Ivory, and White.

Use it to anchor a living-room seating area, ground a dining set, soften a bedroom, or zone an open-concept room. Over hardwood, laminate, or vinyl it adds comfort and quiet and shields the floor underneath.

It comes in sizes around 5 by 8 feet, 7 by 10 feet, and 8 by 11 feet. Sizing is where most rugs go wrong, so a quick rule of thumb: in a living room, the rug should be large enough that at least the front legs of the sofa and chairs sit on it, which visually ties the seating together. Under a dining table, pick a size that extends about two feet past the table on all sides so the chairs stay on the rug when pulled out. In a bedroom, run it past the sides and foot of the bed, or use runners on each side. We are happy to measure with you.

One thing worth adding: a rug pad. It keeps the rug from sliding, protects the floor underneath, adds a little cushion, and helps the rug last longer. The synthetic fibers spot-clean easily, so most spills wipe up with mild soap and water.

Decision line: Cameo is the easy-living pick, the rug to choose for a family room, kids' space, or busy area where spills and traffic are a given.

We keep Cameo at both stores, where you can judge the colour and feel the pile, and we will help you size it to your room. Contact us for stock, see more in the area rugs range, or compare with wall-to-wall carpet.
