What Makes Viscose Rugs Different and Unique?

They are available in a variety of colors, designs, and styles, so they are versatile enough to suit modern and classic decor. Viscose rugs, though needing more delicate care due to their tender fibers, are a great alternative to wool rugs, making them a great option for chic, allergy-free living at a much more affordable price. Their natural shine catches the light just perfectly and adds a beautiful touch to your living room! Not as resilient to wear as some other fibres, they're a softer and great-looking option for flooring.

Let’s explore the benefits of viscose rugs and see how they can transform your home!

Silk-Like Appearance and Softness

(Viscose is the short name for viscose rayon, a semi-synthetic fiber made from natural cellulose (wood pulp, usually from bamboo or cotton). It has a quality and free feel and is more affordable than a silk option, which may feel similar. The result is a unique shimmer and a soft, silky yet medium-strength companion to real silk rugs, at a more reasonable investment. The silky surface dances in all manner of light, amplifying and enhancing color and pattern in any room.

Versatility in Design

Due to viscose’s thin yarn and high dye acceptance ability, rugs constructed from this material are available in an assortment of shapes, sizes, colors, and patterns. No matter if you're into modern geometrics or prefer a vintage-inspired look, or even lavishly indulge in a bit of bold graphics, a viscose rug can be found in a variety of options to suit any taste and décor. This versatility suits them for various rooms. From the snug bedroom to sophisticated living rooms.

Affordable Luxury

Viscose is a silky rug pile material used to create an elegant sheen, and is silkier to touch than wool or natural silk, so it is used to create a budget-look-alike silky feel at a lower cost. They are a luxury for less, and will enhance your room without breaking your bank ever.

Hypoallergenic and Comfortable

Rugs viscose are also low-permeable textiles, which means they can't trap allergens such as pollen and pet hair, and are a good choice for those with allergies. Their gentle nature also makes them perfect for walking along with your bare feet, relaxing and warming up your feet. Perfect to complement your house.

Considerations When Choosing Viscose Rugs

Durability and Care

Although their appearance is beautiful, viscose rugs are overly sensitive to moisture and will wear prematurely when used in a high-traffic area. They are ideal for low-traffic rooms like bedrooms, guestrooms, or home offices. Viscose fibers are inclined to shed and are also sensitive to moisture, so great care should be taken through the use of a rug pad and regular vacuuming.

Moisture Sensitivity

Viscose rugs are not great for moisture. If they get wet, the fibers may become weakened or damaged, so it is very important to keep them out of wet areas and attend to spills promptly, using absorbent cloths to blot them away rather than rubbing. This also means that viscose rugs aren’t so great for kitchens, bathrooms, or foyers.
