While viscose rugs are loved for their luxurious sheen and silky texture, there are more durable options for high-traffic areas. Viscose, also known as artificial silk, is quite delicate and can show signs of wear more quickly than other materials. It's also susceptible to water damage and can be challenging to clean. Therefore, viscose rugs are best suited to low-traffic areas like bedrooms or sitting rooms, where they can be admired and kept in good condition for longer.
