Dhurrie Viscose Rugs
When exploring dhurrie viscose rugs, it is essential to understand both the construction and the application. The dhurrie is India's signature flatweave — woven on horizontal pit looms in cotton or wool, reversible, lightweight and beautifully simple. Dhurries have been part of Indian homes for centuries, traditionally used in summer for their cool, breathable feel.
Coupled with this, viscose — sometimes called "art silk" — gives you the lustrous sheen and fluid drape of real silk at a much more accessible price point. Made from regenerated cellulose fibres, viscose accepts dye beautifully and produces vivid, jewel-like colour palettes that suit contemporary interiors.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a dhurrie and a kilim?
Both are flatweaves, but dhurries are an Indian tradition (often in cotton, with simpler stripe/block patterns) while kilims are Turkish/Persian in origin (typically wool, with more complex geometric motifs).
Can I machine-wash a cotton dhurrie?
Small cotton dhurries (up to about 3x5 ft) can usually be machine-washed cold on a gentle cycle. Larger pieces should be hand-washed or dry-cleaned to maintain shape.
Is viscose the same as bamboo silk?
Bamboo silk is a type of viscose made specifically from bamboo cellulose. It has a slightly silkier hand-feel and is more eco-friendly than standard wood-pulp viscose. We offer both.
Can viscose rugs be steam-cleaned?
No — viscose is moisture-sensitive and can develop water marks if over-wetted. Always use professional dry cleaning or low-moisture extraction for viscose rugs.
