Viscose Rugs

Silky smooth and quietly luxurious

Viscose rugs are loved for their softness and signature sheen. Light bounces beautifully off the fibres, giving your rug a sophisticated, almost velvet-like glow. If you're looking to add elegance to your home — without going too bold — viscose is a wonderful choice.

At Onlinetapijten, we offer a carefully curated selection of viscose and viscose-blend rugs, ideal for bedrooms, formal living rooms or quiet spaces where softness matters.

Visit us in Willebroek, easy to reach from Brussels, Mechelen, Ghent and Antwerp, and discover the difference for yourself.

✨ Why choose a viscose rug?

Viscose (also known as “art silk”) is a plant-based fibre that feels silky smooth underfoot.

✔ Soft, smooth and elegant texture
✔ Light-reflective finish with a subtle glow
✔ Often blended with wool or cotton for balance
✔ Ideal for low-traffic, style-focused areas
✔ A favourite for bedrooms and boutique-style interiors

It’s perfect if you love the idea of a luxury look without high gloss or bold patterns.

🏡 Where do viscose rugs work best?

Viscose is beautiful, but delicate. It’s best suited for rooms where comfort and calm take priority:

• Bedrooms

• Guest rooms or home offices

• Under coffee tables (with minimal movement)

• Sitting areas without shoes or pets

• Refined reading corners or dressing areas

We don’t recommend viscose rugs for dining rooms, hallways, or busy family spaces.

🧼 Caring for viscose rugs

Viscose rugs require gentle care to maintain their finish.

• Always vacuum with a brushless setting (low suction)

• Blot spills immediately — never rub or soak

• Avoid high humidity and water-based cleaning

• Use a rug underlay to keep it in place and prevent pressure marks

• Rotate every few months to avoid uneven fading

❓Frequently Asked Questions

Is viscose a natural material?
Partially. It’s plant-based (made from cellulose), but processed through a chemical method. It’s sometimes called “semi-synthetic.”

Do viscose rugs shed or fade?
They don’t shed like wool, but they do show wear in heavy-use areas. Rotate the rug and avoid direct sun to prevent uneven fading.

Can I place a viscose rug in a busy room?
We don’t recommend it. Viscose is better for low-traffic areas where it won’t be walked on constantly.

How do I clean a viscose rug?
Spot-clean carefully with a dry cloth and consult a professional for deeper cleans. Avoid steam, water, or aggressive scrubbing.

How does viscose compare to silk or tencel?
All have a soft feel and gentle shine. Viscose is more affordable than silk, slightly more fragile than tencel, and perfect for subtle luxury.
