This selection of bamboo silk rugs brings together hand-knotted and hand-woven designs, chosen for their sheen and their soft, cool touch underfoot. Whether you are furnishing a living room, a bedroom or a hallway, this catalogue sits alongside our rugs by material, so you compare fibres before deciding on a design.
Bamboo silk is a plant fibre, prized for the way it catches the light. Across this catalogue, all models use bamboo silk, often combined with wool, jute or synthetic fibres to balance softness with resistance. Many models blend bamboo silk with wool, which adds body and warmth to the pile. Some designs mix it with synthetic fibres such as polyester or polyamide, while others pair it with jute for a more textured, authentic finish.
The sheen of bamboo silk changes how a rug reads in a room. A plain wool rug looks matte. A bamboo silk blend shifts tone depending on where you stand, which is why many of these designs sit in grey, beige or blue, colours that let the fibre's lustre do the work rather than relying on a loud palette. This quality makes bamboo silk a popular choice among our living room rugs, where light and texture matter most.
Grey dominates this range, followed by beige and then blue. Vintage is the most represented style, alongside shaggy, designer, authentic and natural finishes spread across smaller groups. Many rugs here are hand-knotted and others are hand-woven; some combine both techniques within the same piece.
If you are weighing up fibres beyond bamboo silk, jute rugs offer a rougher, more rustic texture.
Viscose rugs share a similar sheen without the wool blend.
For a different register entirely, cowhide rugs bring a hide texture that no woven rug replicates.

The Karma rug comes in a 170x240 size, made from bamboo silk, knotted by hand.
The Heredity rug pairs wool and bamboo silk at 170x240, with a pile height of 5 mm and 7 mm and a weight of 4.25 kg per square metre.

Each rug in this catalogue comes with its own technical details, such as origin, pile height or weight, wherever these are known. If you prefer bolder geometric relief over natural fibre texture, our designer rugs offer a more contemporary alternative.
Bamboo silk gives a rug a soft, lustrous surface that reflects light differently depending on the viewing angle. It is a plant fibre, often blended with wool or jute in this catalogue to add body. The result suits living rooms and bedrooms where a smooth, cool touch underfoot is wanted.
Bamboo silk is derived from bamboo cellulose through a viscose-style process, while mulberry silk comes from silkworm cocoons. Both share a similar sheen, but bamboo silk is the fibre used across every rug in this catalogue, often blended with wool, jute or synthetic fibres.
Bamboo silk sits between synthetic fibres and traditional silk in terms of cost, which is why it often appears blended with wool or jute rather than used alone. This catalogue groups hand-knotted and hand-woven bamboo silk rugs across several sizes and colours.
Bamboo silk rugs offer a smooth, lustrous finish and a cool touch underfoot, but the fibre is softer than wool and benefits from being blended with it, as seen in many models here. Blends with jute or synthetic fibres add texture or resilience depending on the room.
