Viscose and Rayon Rugs
Viscose and rayon rugs include fibres known for their soft hand and subtle sheen. Depending on the model, they may be blended with wool, cotton or other materials. Light brings out variations across the surface, making them a considered choice for a living room or bedroom. Fibre content and care vary, so check each product page. Maison Olive is based in Beloeil, Quebec, and offers this selection online across Canada.
How to choose a viscose or rayon rug
Look at the rug in different light, check its fibre content and consider how the room is used.
- Appearance: view detail and room photos; pile direction and light can change how the colour appears.
- Size: in a living room, place at least the front legs of the seating on the rug. Around 8 × 10 ft may suit a larger grouping, depending on your measurements.
- Care: these fibres often need extra care around moisture and stains. Follow the instructions for the exact rug.
