In-Depth Review
As a guy in my mid-30s who recently moved into a new place, I was on the lookout for something to spruce up my living room. A good area rug can really tie a room together, and after quite a bit of searching, I decided to get the SAFAVIEH Area Rug from the Amelia Collection in Grey and Ivory. Here’s how it turned out.
**First Impressions**
Right out of the box, I was impressed by how vibrant the colors were. The grey and ivory pattern looked sharp and modern, not dull at all. The rug was rolled up tight but flattened out pretty well within a couple of hours. I appreciated the design—it’s got a contemporary vibe that fits well in my space.
**Build Quality & Design**
This rug is made of polypropylene, which I initially thought might feel cheap. But after laying it down, I found it surprisingly soft underfoot. It has a medium pile height, which is comfortable and looks good without being too plush that it would cause someone to trip over it. The stitching and finish seemed solid, and I didn’t notice any frayed edges or imperfections.
**Performance & Daily Use**
Now, let’s talk about how this rug holds up in day-to-day life. I have a dog who can be a bit rambunctious, and I worried about cleaning it. Luckily, this rug is labeled as non-shedding and easy to clean. When it got muddy from the dog, I simply vacuumed and spot-cleaned with mild soap, and it looked fresh again. I did notice that it can attract dust more than I expected, but that’s nothing a quick vacuuming can’t solve. It’s held up nicely even with my daily traffic and canine companion.
**Who This Is Best For**
I think this rug is perfect for anyone looking to add some style without breaking the bank. It’s ideal for a living room or office but equally versatile enough to use in a bedroom or dining space. If you’re in a home with kids or pets, it gives you that peace of mind due to its durability and ease of maintenance.
**Pros and Cons**
Overall, I found that this rug has more pros than cons. On the plus side, it’s stylish, easy to clean, and well-made. The size (8×10) is just right for my space, making it feel cozy and inviting. However, the only downside I found was that it could have a bit more grip on hardwood floors. I ended up buying a non-slip rug pad to prevent it from sliding around.
**Final Verdict**
After using the SAFAVIEH Area Rug for a few months, I can confidently say that I made a great choice. It brought together my living room decor perfectly, is comfortable to walk on, and holds up against daily wear and tear quite well. If you’re on the fence, I’d recommend it—especially at its price point. It’s hard to find a rug that meets both quality and style, but this one does it beautifully.

Cindy –
Nice!!
Nice hallway rugs! A little thicker than previous ones that were same brand. Better, not as wrinkled, color as advertised.
Angelika –
Just as pictured!
Love love love. Looks great in the space. Compliments my living room. The colors described are as pictured. The pile height is just right. It’s so soft & comfortable, easy to vacuum. Not sure if it slips because I instantly put down adhesives so I don’t have an issue. Definitely worth the value for the money.

What I needed
Very nice runner with neutral colors so it goes with my kitchen. This helps my older dog from slipping on our tile floors and covers a good size area. It does lay flat and I have not had any issues with it curling on the ends, it is a good price for what I needed. It came rolled up so I you just unroll it and give it about 1/2 day to fully flatten out.

Nice accessory rug.
The rug arrived quickly and well packaged. It has a low flat pile which I didn’t expect, and very light colors. But it looks beautiful. I would not recommend for a busy high traffic area because of the white color throughout. I placed it front of a door that does not get a lot of in and out traffic or soil. It vacuums up well and so far the pile has not changed. The colors are accurate as shown and matched beautifully with an existing Amazon area rug not from this same company. The rubber backing keeps the rug from slipping and stays in place. No smell when it arrived, and we are very happy with this purchase.

Beautiful rug – Roomba approved
Gorgeous rug – I bought the 22′ runner. Thankfully, I did not have the cellophane-line issue that other reviewers have reported with the runner. There was cellophane down the middle, but no markings on the rug itself.I have a few rugs from this brand that have lasted over 10 years. Roomba vacuum goes over it perfectly. It rolled out and relaxed in a day, without having to place heavy books etc on top to help flatten.Note: it is darker blue from one side and lighter blue from the other (which I personally love). It reflects light very well without being overwhelming. It is soft without being too plush/thick. Smell was not an issue – just kind of smelled like a new car for the first hour or so.Would definitely recommend buying.

Very nice rug but oh the creases!
The rug came folded and in a sturdy plastic bag. The colors were true to the picturesalthough the rug was slightly smaller than advertised.I’m expected a few wrinkles and creases so had cleared all the furniture out of the room so I could let the rug lie flat to smooth out. After 5 days the wrinkles and creases were still there. Next I put heavy boxes on the major creases and waited another week. As soon as I moved the boxes there were the creases. Next I vacuumed the rug and spent 2 more days using a hair dryer to coax out the creases. Still no joy and I’m 2 weeks into the process. I was ready to send the rug back but… I tried one last trick – a wet towel and an iron to steam out the creases. It took many hours to do the whole carpet. I managed to flatten out most of the creases. There are still a few wavy areas. I called it good enough and we finally put the dining room furniture back.It looks nice and I’m hoping with a little more time and the weight of the furniture the waves will flatten out.

I had a hard time finding a square carpet for my space and came across this one… I had been looking for awhile and just bought it because the size was right… and to my surprise I actually really loved it!It’s not too thin, it’s soft and it the colour:pattern really brightened my space! Would definitely recommend/ buy again!
Amazon Customer –
The carpet is of excellent quality, is middle size, and is a fantastic addition to my daughter’s bedroom. Lovely colours of white, teal blue and a little bit yellowish, but not too much. I would buy the bigger version but it’s been too expensive for me. The middle size was at a reduced price for a while and I gave it a chance. No regrets at all!

Was looking for a large under bed rug, similar to one I already had in a smaller size. This was on sale so a real bargain! Colours are lovely and although it’s not a deep rug, it’s very soft. Quality is good and has settled nicely. Did use some carpet tape on the sides, to stop from the initial curling. Really pleased!
