With their silky sheen, viscose runner rugs make for a great layering piece together with side and coffee tables, in front of the sofa or underneath a dining table and chairs. Read on to discover more about viscose and how it can help enhance any room in your home.
Is Viscose a Good Fabric For a Rug?
Viscose - otherwise known as rayon - is a great choice for rugs, as it exudes a silk-like quality that feels amazing underfoot. Often viscose is blended with other materials, such as cotton, acrylic, wool and chenille to make them even softer or more durable. What you choose will depend on where you are placing your rug. If it's in an area where there is moderate traffic (viscose can shed easily), wool or cotton is your best bet; if it's mostly for display or tucked under other furniture, choose a lighter blend to show off its silky smooth surface. Essentially, viscose runner rugs should be treated as more like decorative pieces than ones that will be stepped upon regularly.
Lend a Splash of Color and Pizzazz to Your Space
Viscose runner rugs can take on many different colors and patterns that suit contemporary and transitional-themed homes. Their pattern styles range from watercolors and abstract designs to shabby chic and animal prints. The versatility in design makes viscose rugs a perfect choice for any area in the home that needs a little lift.
Don't Forget a Rug Pad
Once you pick up your silky-soft, art-inspired viscose runner rug, opt for a handy rug pad to go with it, especially if the rug will be placed atop a hard floor. Rug pads get placed underneath the rug and help prevent slipping and sliding, protecting both you and your floors. Sold separately, rug pads can easily be custom-fitted to your rug specifications.
