Viscose rugs, an ideal alternative to silk, offer a lustrous, sheen finish and make an exquisite statement in any room. Considered a type of rayon, viscose is made up of fibers like bamboo or wood pulp that give it a silk-like sheen and feel. Viscose rugs are then powerloomed or handwoven by artisans to embody a sense of chic sophistication and luxurious appeal.
