WHAT MAKES OUR RUGS LEGENDARY

Distinctive, durable, and designed to elevate everything around them, from the furniture to the fantasy.

  • Built Like Actual Armor

    Commercial-grade EnduraStran® nylon resists crushing, scraping, scratching and the slow death of daily wear. No shedding, no flattening—even under rolling chairs. Backed by a residential warranty for long-term durability.

  • Handles Real-Life Chaos

    From pet accidents to wine spills, these rugs shrug off the messes that make people swear off carpeting. Spot clean with water or dish soap, sweep with a broom for quick touch-ups and vacuum regularly to keep that like-new look.

  • Elemental Resistance

    EnduraStran® premium nylon yarn is stain-resistant. Flame-resistant. UV-resistant. Mildew- and microbe-resistant. Nacho cheese resistant (we tested). Seriously, our rugs have more immunities than your party’s tank.

  • No Fray, No Fuss

    Lok-Bak™ backing keeps the rug sturdy and flat—no more tripping when you're scooting behind chairs to grab more snacks. Serged edges prevent fraying, and rounded edges mean no more dog-eared corners.

  • Made in the USA

    Proudly made in the USA with ethical production and low-emission materials (CRI Green Label Plus certified). Ships free in the US. Our EnduraStran® Landfill Diversion Program lets you recycle a story-rich rug instead of sending it to the void.

  • Respect for the Realm

    In addition to landfill diversion, our manufacturing partners follow ambitious environmental goals including carbon reduction and renewable energy use to keep our rugs as gentle on the planet as they are on your feet.

JUST A FEW NERDS WITH A FLOOR PROBLEM

Game nights got messy—spilled drinks, dropped pizza, kids underfoot, pets in full gremlin mode. Every rug we tried beneath our game table either bored us or bit the dust (usually both). So we made one that didn’t suck. Now we design game room rugs for everyone that actually keep up with the party.

HIGH SCORES

  • Months in, and this rug is practically a superhero in my house - it's survived playtime, pet antics and snack spills with total style. Honestly, it's like the Chuck Norris of rugs - nothing seems to faze it!

    Valerie Wilmington, NC

  • I've lost count of how many compliments I've received on my new rug. Every guest who walks through my door is stunned by the colors and the design, they can't stop raving about it. It's truly become the centerpiece of conversation in my home and leaves a lasting impression on everyone who sees it.

    Selma San Diego, CA

  • This rug has added a touch of warmth and character to the foyer. Even with heavy foot traffic it is showing no signs of distress. Cleaning has been a breeze as well. I spoke with the owners during the purchase and they are a treat. Will definitely be buying more rugs from Area of Effect!
