The Oushak Mood: Old-World Craft, Modern Calm
Oushak rugs carry a kind of quiet confidence—never loud, never trying too hard, yet always unmistakably present. Their story begins in western Anatolia (in and around Uşak, Turkey), where master weavers became known for a particular gift: translating classical Persian-inspired motifs into something more open, more breathable, and more luminous. Compared to denser court designs, Oushaks often feel intentionally spacious—large-scale medallions, softened florals, and generous negative space that lets a room exhale.
That clarity is exactly why designers return to Oushaks again and again. The palettes—ivory, sand, taupe, parchment, powder blue, sage—behave like beautifully tailored neutrals. They warm up modern interiors without weighing them down, and they add history to minimal spaces without tipping into formality. In the right home, an Oushak is less “pattern” and more atmosphere: a layer of texture that makes hard surfaces feel livable, makes large rooms feel composed, and makes the everyday feel curated.
This collection leans into that signature vibe: soft geometry, faded botanical traces, and elegant abrash-like tonal shifts that read as collected-over-time. Whether you’re styling a serene bedroom, a conversational living room, or a high-traffic entry that still needs polish, Oushak rugs deliver that rare combination of ease and sophistication.
Curated Showcase: Oushak Favorites with Designer Energy
Persian Oushak Beige with Light Blue & Taupe Traditional Area Rug – SKU 89006
This is the kind of Oushak that interior designers call a “room finisher”—the piece that quietly unifies everything. A pale vanilla-cream ground sets a bright, airy foundation, while powder-blue detailing drifts across the surface like morning light on plaster. The patterning is balanced: stylized palmettes, softened medallion traces, and gentle vine work that feels classical, yet intentionally relaxed. In open-plan living spaces, it creates architectural calm—anchoring seating groups and letting upholstery, art, and lighting read more expensive. It also performs beautifully in bedrooms where you want softness underfoot without a overly sweet look. The overall effect is tailored, serene, and timeless—an heirloom aesthetic with a modern, livable attitude.
- Color Band: Pale vanilla cream, powder blue, light taupe
- Size Band: 8 ft 2 in x 10 ft 2 in (approx.)
- Price Band: Premium ($11,220)
- Style: Persian Oushak (traditional with softened geometric/floral)
- Use Case: Living room anchor, serene bedroom, dining room statement
- Designer Tip: Pair with warm woods and matte-black accents; repeat the powder-blue in a single accessory (pillow or art) to make the palette feel intentional.
Persian Oushak Beige & Taupe with Teal Accents Oversize Area Rug – SKU 68593
For large rooms that need both scale and softness, this oversize Persian Oushak delivers a composed, gallery-like presence. The warm sand-beige field reads like sunlit stone, while muted seafoam/teal accents provide a cool counterpoint that feels fresh rather than nautical. The geometry is classic Oushak—stylized palmettes and vine work—yet the spacing keeps it feeling breathable, not busy. In a great room, this rug acts like a visual “floor plan,” organizing multiple seating zones while maintaining a single, sophisticated storyline. Its tonal range is also a gift for designers: it bridges creamy upholstery, walnut or oak furniture, and metals from aged brass to polished nickel. Expect an elegant, collected finish—grand in size, gentle in mood.
- Color Band: Warm sand beige, taupe, muted seafoam/teal
- Size Band: Oversize / Palace (approx. 9 ft 10 in x 12 ft 10 in)
- Price Band: Premium ($16,932)
- Style: Persian Oushak (decorative geometric-floral)
- Use Case: Great room, formal living room, large dining room
- Designer Tip: Keep your drapery and walls warm-neutral; let teal appear once more (ceramic, book spine, or art) for a subtle, intentional echo.
Persian Oushak Cloud Gray with Parchment Accents Large Area Rug – SKU 68232
There’s a distinctly architectural feel to this Oushak: cloud-gray wool softened by parchment accents that read like toned paper under a wash of light. It’s a sophisticated neutral—not stark, not beige—ideal for modern interiors that want warmth without creaminess. The motif work is crisp enough to feel intentional (geometric palmettes, stylized florals, and lattice infill), yet the overall contrast remains gentle, so the room still feels quiet. This is a strong choice for spaces with stone, concrete, or white-oak floors where you want definition without visual clutter. In dining rooms, the gray ground disguises everyday wear while still looking elevated. In a bedroom, it makes white bedding look sharper and more dimensional. The result is calm luxury with excellent versatility.
- Color Band: Cloud gray, parchment/ivory, soft taupe
- Size Band: Large area (approx. 8 ft 7 in x 11 ft 10 in)
- Price Band: Luxury ($13,635)
- Style: Persian Oushak (geometric-decorative)
- Use Case: Dining room durability, modern living room, elevated bedroom
- Designer Tip: Add warmth through lighting (linen shades, aged brass) and one natural texture (bouclé, mohair, or oak) to keep the gray from feeling cool.
India Oushak Taupe & Muted Gold with Soft Blue Accents Area Rug – SKU 93570
If your space calls for a more decorative, heritage-forward statement—without sacrificing modern polish—this India Oushak answers beautifully. The slate-gray/taupe field is enriched with wheat-gold detailing and a whisper of soft blue, creating a layered palette that feels curated rather than trendy. The pattern leans lush: scrolling arabesques, palmette clusters, vine work, and medallion traces that read like a tapestry of old-world ornament. Yet the coloration keeps everything grounded and sophisticated, making it ideal for formal sitting rooms, libraries, or dining rooms that need depth. It pairs especially well with dark woods, antique brass, and leather—materials that benefit from a rug that can “hold its own” visually. This is the Oushak for clients who love romance, but insist on restraint.
- Color Band: Slate gray/taupe, wheat/muted gold, soft blue
- Size Band: 9 ft 1 in x 12 ft 0 in (approx.)
- Price Band: Luxury ($14,709)
- Style: Oushak (decorative allover, classic vine/floral)
- Use Case: Library, dining room, formal living room, layered traditional interiors
- Designer Tip: Pull one accent tone (wheat-gold or soft blue) into artwork or upholstery piping—one detail is enough to make the whole room feel bespoke.
Persian Oushak Beige with Soft Blue & Pale Orange Accents Area Rug – SKU 69037
This rug feels like a sun-faded antique in the best way—parchment-beige tones washed with muted sunrise accents and gentle blue notes. It brings warmth, but not heaviness; color, but not chaos. The stylized palmettes and scrolling vines create movement across the field, giving the room a subtle sense of life—perfect for spaces that otherwise read too quiet or too minimal. In a living room, it softens angular furniture and makes neutrals feel welcoming. In a bedroom, it adds a romantic undertone without feeling feminine or themed. The palette also plays nicely with today’s most-used finishes: light oak, travertine, brushed brass, and creamy whites. If you want an Oushak that feels collected and soulful—yet still bright—this is a strong, design-forward pick.
- Color Band: Parchment beige, soft blue, muted apricot/orange
- Size Band: Large area (approx. 8 ft 1 in x 11 ft 3 in)
- Price Band: Premium ($12,270)
- Style: Persian Oushak (decorative geometric-floral)
