Affiliated Weavers Serendipity Area Rug

An area rug does three jobs at once: it defines a zone in an open room, protects the floor beneath it, and makes a hard surface feel warm and soft.

In simple terms: Affiliated Weavers Serendipity 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. The fiber is a polypropylene and polyester blend, a practical mix: the polypropylene brings stain and fade resistance and durability, while the polyester adds softness and a bit of sheen, so it is both easy to live with and pleasant underfoot. A medium 10mm pile balances softness and practicality, comfortable underfoot while still easy to vacuum and keep clean. It is densely woven, which helps it hold its shape, resist crushing, and feel substantial underfoot. Styled contemporary, it suits modern and updated interiors with current colours and patterns. It is woven in Egypt. It comes in colours such as Blue, Grey, Ivory, White, Green, and Gold.

It works in living rooms, under a dining table, in bedrooms, and as a layer over hardwood, vinyl, or laminate to add warmth and protect the floor. A rug also defines a zone in an open-plan space and softens sound in a busy or echoey room.

It comes in sizes around 5 by 8 feet, 7 by 10 feet, 8 by 11 feet, and 10 by 13 feet. A few sizing tips save grief later. For a living room, go big enough that the front legs of your sofa and armchairs rest on the rug, or all legs in a larger room. For a dining room, the rug needs to clear the table by roughly two feet all around so pulled-out chairs do not catch the edge. For a bedroom, extend it well past the bed or flank the bed with runners. Bring your room dimensions and we will help you choose.

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: Serendipity 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 Serendipity at both showrooms, 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.
