Blue & Neutral Oushak: The Calm Confidence of a Classic Reimagined
There’s a reason Oushak rugs feel instantly “right” in beautifully layered homes: their heritage was born at the crossroads of artistry and everyday life. The Oushak tradition—rooted in Anatolian (Turkish) weaving and later beloved through Persian interpretations—has always favored open, breathable patterns and luminous palettes that live comfortably with architecture rather than competing with it. Historically, these rugs were designed to soften stone floors and echo the rhythm of carved wood, plasterwork, and natural textiles. That quiet intelligence is what makes Oushak so relevant today.
In this collection, blue and neutral tones take center stage: cloud blue, powder blue, baby blue, feather gray, warm sand, cream, wheat, and oat straw. Together they create the kind of atmosphere designers chase—serene but not sterile, refined but not precious. Oushak motifs (palmettes, rosettes, vine scrolls, softened medallion traces) appear like memories in paint: present, but never loud. The result is a sophisticated “old soul” look that pairs effortlessly with linen sofas, walnut dining tables, aged brass lighting, plaster walls, and contemporary art.
Think of these rugs as foundational pieces: they anchor open-plan living areas, elevate dining rooms, and turn bedrooms into retreats. Whether your style is transitional, modern classic, or quietly contemporary, a blue-and-neutral Oushak is the design equivalent of a perfect tailored coat—timeless, flattering, and always in season.
India Oushak Slate Gray & Wheat Allover Rug — SKU 93570
This Oushak from India leans into an architectural mood—slate gray set against wheat-toned ornament—like a well-composed room wrapped in tailored neutrals. Its scrolling arabesques and palmette clusters read as decorative, yet beautifully controlled, giving you pattern without visual noise. The palette behaves like a natural material: stone, weathered metal, and sun-warmed straw. That makes it exceptionally easy to style with modern upholstery, oak floors, and layered lighting.
What gives this piece its personality is the balanced density: it’s richly drawn, but never busy, perfect for homes where you want the rug to feel substantial from across the room while still allowing furniture silhouettes to breathe. In a living room, it acts as a sophisticated stage for creamy sofas and blackened iron accents; in a dining room, it brings warmth to sleek casegoods and makes everyday meals feel a touch more ceremonial.

Persian (Oushak) Baby Blue & Cream Oversize Rug — SKU 89023
This oversize Persian Oushak is the definition of “airy grandeur.” The baby-blue field reads like morning light—soft, flattering, and expansive—while cream detailing keeps everything crisp and tailored. Stylized palmettes and geometric floral rosettes move through the surface with a calm rhythm, creating the kind of room-widening effect designers love in great rooms and primary suites.
Its charm is how it balances tradition with a contemporary sensibility: motifs are recognizable, but the overall effect feels edited, almost like a fresco that’s aged beautifully over time. This is the rug you choose when you want serenity without sacrificing presence. Under a sectional, it makes an open-plan living area feel cohesive and intentional; beneath a large dining table, it softens hard lines and adds a quiet layer of ceremony. Because the blue is light and nuanced, it plays well with both cool marbles and warm woods.

India Oushak Cloud Blue & Sand Area Rug — SKU 94097
If your space needs softness that still feels designed, this cloud-blue and sand Oushak delivers. The color story is gentle—like chambray linen and dune-toned plaster—while the palmettes and rosettes give the surface a quiet, elevated movement. It’s the kind of rug that reads inviting in person and photographs beautifully for projects where nuance matters.
What makes it special is its “sophisticated ease.” The pattern is balanced and allover, which means it won’t fight with seating layouts, and it’s forgiving in real life—ideal for homes that are lived in but curated. In a bedroom, it creates a resort-like calm underfoot; in a living room, it pairs seamlessly with ivory upholstery, light walnut, and soft black accents. The wool construction and medium pile keep it substantial, so it doesn’t feel flimsy or overly casual.

Persian Oushak Pastel Blue & Cream Area Rug — SKU 13951
This rug feels like a whisper of tradition—pastel blue and cream arranged in a classic Oushak language of stylized palmettes, tulip forms, and leafy arabesques. It has that coveted “new rug with an old-world soul” presence: polished enough for a formal room, yet relaxed enough for everyday living.
The palette is a designer’s dream for transitional interiors. Pastel blue behaves almost like a neutral, letting you introduce bolder moments—sculptural lighting, modern art, or a deep-toned accent chair—without the rug ever feeling out of place. The patterning is balanced and decorative, so it brings life to quiet spaces (think white walls, natural oak, and tonal upholstery) while still allowing furniture to remain the star.
In a dining room, it adds refinement without reading fussy; in a living room, it brightens the entire floor plane and makes the space feel composed and welcoming. It’s a confident choice for clients who want timeless beauty with a softened edge.

Persian Oushak Wheat & Fog Area Rug — SKU 67049
Wheat and fog: two tones that instantly calm a room. This Persian Oushak leans into that softness with stylized palmettes, medallion fragments, and abstract cloud-band hints—motifs that feel like heritage, translated through a modern lens. The result is a neutral foundation with enough drawing and movement to keep the floor from feeling flat.
This piece is especially strong for interiors built around natural textures—limestone, oak, boucle, rattan, plaster—because its palette behaves like an extension of those materials. The pattern reads “there,” but not “loud,” which is exactly what you want when you’re styling statement furniture or art. It’s also an excellent bridge rug for spaces that combine warm and cool elements (for example, a warm wood table with cooler stainless or polished nickel lighting).
Use it in living rooms where you want the seating to float elegantly, or in bedrooms where you want an upscale hotel calm. It’s a quiet luxury rug that does the hard work of making everything else look intentional.

Persian Oushak Gray Blue & Pale Peach Oversize Rug — SKU 89021
This oversize Persian Oushak introduces a designer-favorite twist: gray-blue grounded with pale peach. It’s subtle, sophisticated, and unexpectedly flattering—like a perfect paint palette that makes skin tones and wood finishes look richer. The geometric palmettes and stylized floral rosettes offer structure, while the color story keeps everything soft and livable.
It’s ideal for large rooms that need warmth without going beige-on-beige. The gray-blue reads calm and tailored, while the peach detail adds a gentle glow (never sugary, never loud). In open-plan spaces, this rug can quietly unify multiple zones—seating, dining, and circulation—because its pattern has consistent rhythm and the palette stays refined.
Pair it with ivory upholstery, warm walnut, and a few black accents for contrast. Or lean contemporary with pale oak, creamy boucle, and sculptural lighting. Either way, this rug will make the room feel finished—elegant, but relaxed enough to live in.

Persian Oushak Feather Gray & Aquarelle Oversize Rug — SKU 68049
Feather gray with aquarelle-blue accents gives this oversize Oushak a distinctly modern-luxury presence—cool, composed, and effortlessly architectural. The design carries the Oushak signature (palmette traces, petite rosettes, bordered vines), but the overall feeling is edited and atmospheric, like watercolor on stone.
This is the rug for clients who want pattern that doesn’t read traditional at first glance. From across the room, it feels like a sophisticated field of tone and texture; up close, you discover the ornamental details. That layered experience is what makes it work so well in grand rooms and primary bedrooms, where you want visual interest without pulling focus from furniture, art, or views.
It styles beautifully with creamy upholstery, smoked wood, and polished nickel—or with warmer elements like oak, travertine, and antique brass for contrast. The medium pile gives it presence and comfort, making large spaces feel intimate and designed.
