Ever wondered how we make the colour pop out of our luxury modern area rugs? We use a special fibre called art silk. Art silk a term used for a number of yarns that look and feel like silk. The most often used variety is viscose, which is made from refined timber pulp and features a beautiful natural lustre, giving every rug it is used in a luxurious feeling and look.

The Rug Establishment uses this fibre selectively in many of our rugs for highlighting purposes. Now you know our secret! Here are some beautiful area rugs where the art silk has made the colours pop!
