Collection: Tencel rugs
Tencel Rugs
Eco-luxury with a natural glow
Tencel rugs are soft, elegant, and made for people who want beauty with a lighter footprint. They feel smooth like silk, reflect the light with a gentle sheen, and bring quiet luxury to bedrooms, living rooms, and refined corners of the home.
At Onlinetapijten, we offer a curated collection of tencel and tencel-blend rugs that combine comfort, style and sustainability. You’ll find them in soft naturals, subtle textures, and premium hand-finished designs — always with personal advice in our Willebroek showroom, easy to reach from Brussels, Ghent, Mechelen and Antwerp.
🌿 Why choose a tencel rug?
Tencel is made from wood pulp (typically eucalyptus) and processed in an eco-conscious way. The result is a fine fibre that’s:
✔ Silky soft and lightweight
✔ Gentle to the touch — even barefoot
✔ Naturally shiny without being glossy
✔ Hypoallergenic and breathable
✔ Biodegradable and more sustainable than synthetic materials
Tencel rugs are perfect if you love soft finishes and want something that feels calming, elegant, and modern.
🏡 Where do tencel rugs work best?
Tencel is delicate, so we recommend it in lower-traffic areas where it can shine — literally.
-
Bedrooms
-
Guest rooms or home offices
-
Under coffee tables with light use
-
Reading corners or quiet zones
-
Formal living rooms (without pets or heavy foot traffic)
They’re not ideal for hallways, dining rooms, or busy family spaces — but in the right room, tencel adds a beautiful, upscale finish.

❓Frequently Asked Questions
Is tencel a natural material?
Yes — tencel is derived from wood pulp and processed in a closed-loop, low-impact system. It’s one of the more sustainable options for luxury rugs.
Are tencel rugs suitable for families or pets?
We don’t recommend it. Tencel is a more delicate fibre and can show pressure marks, scratches or stains easily. It’s best for calm rooms with low traffic.
Do tencel rugs shed?
No, not like wool. But the fibres can flatten if walked on too often. We recommend using it in quieter zones and rotating your rug occasionally.
How does tencel compare to viscose or bamboo silk?
All three are soft and shiny. Tencel is more sustainable than viscose and less slippery than bamboo silk. It also has a slightly cooler, more matte finish.
Do I need a rug pad under a tencel rug?
Yes. A good rug pad adds cushioning, prevents slipping, and extends the life of the rug.
