The Quiet Grandeur of Persian Oushak: Sun-Faded Elegance for Modern Rooms
Oushak rugs have always carried a certain kind of confidence—never loud, never trying too hard, yet unmistakably present. Rooted in Anatolian weaving traditions and beloved across empires for their generous scale and relaxed, open drawing, the Oushak look became synonymous with grand rooms: wide floor plans, long sightlines, and architecture that asked for softness rather than spectacle. Today, Persian Oushak interpretations keep that same spirit, translating old-world artistry into palettes that feel beautifully “lived-in” from day one.
What makes this collection so design-forward is its balance of refinement and ease. The motifs—palmettes, rosettes, abstract medallion traces, and vinework—are intentionally spacious. That openness creates air around furniture, letting a room breathe while still feeling finished. In color, Persian Oushaks lean into nuanced neutrals: wheat, parchment, fog, slate, warm gray, and cloud cream, often lifted by powder blue, pale aqua, or seafoam accents. The result is a rug that acts like a tailored backdrop—elevating upholstery, warming wood tones, and smoothing transitions in open-plan living.
Whether you’re designing a serene primary suite, a layered formal living room, or a dining space that needs a sophisticated anchor, these Oushaks deliver: premium wool, durable construction, and a timeless presence that gets better the longer you live with it.
Persian Oushak Beige with Wheat & Fog Accents (SKU 67049)
SKU 67049 is the definition of “quiet luxury” in rug form. Its wheat-toned ground reads like sun-warmed stone—soft, natural, and instantly calming—while fog-gray accents add a cool, architectural counterpoint. The design’s decorative geometry feels intentionally edited: palmette fragments and angular floral sprays appear with a measured rhythm, leaving negative space that keeps the room from feeling busy. This is the kind of Persian Oushak that works beautifully under a large sectional, where you want pattern without visual noise, or in a dining room where chairs glide easily over a medium pile.
What’s especially compelling is how the palette adapts. Pair it with creamy linens and pale oak for a tonal, gallery-like interior, or let it soften darker walnut and mixed metals. The overall impression is premium, polished, and deeply livable—exactly what designers want when the rug has to do the long-term work of tying everything together.

- Size Band: Large (approx. 11.8′ x 8.8′)
- Price Band: Premium ($13,923)

Persian Oushak Pastel Parchment with Powder Blue Accents (SKU 67064)
SKU 67064 is airy in the way designer neutrals should be—softly luminous without turning flat. The pastel parchment field brings an understated warmth, while powder blue details drift through the pattern like a coastal haze. The drawing is open and elegant, with stylized floral palmettes and gentle rosette geometry that feels historical, but not formal. It’s a rug that makes a space look “finished” without announcing itself.
This piece is especially strong in bedrooms and lounges where you want the floor to contribute to calm. The medium pile adds comfort underfoot, and the balanced layout keeps the eye moving at a restful pace. In a living room, it pairs beautifully with creamy upholstery and light woods; in a dining room, it creates a polished backdrop for both modern and traditional table silhouettes. The overall effect is serene, premium, and highly adaptable—perfect for projects where the furniture may evolve, but the rug needs to stay timeless.

- Size Band: Large (approx. 11.6′ x 9.0′)

Persian Oushak Navy with Beige Accents (SKU 68753)
SKU 68753 brings Oushak tradition into a moodier, more dramatic register. A navy ground sets a rich foundation, while beige detailing lifts the motifs so the pattern feels dimensional rather than heavy. The surface is dense and highly patterned—palmettes, vinery, rosettes, and ornamental cartouches layering into a look that feels collected and architectural. If you’re styling a library, study, or dining room with deeper wood tones, this is the rug that makes the room feel grounded and intentional.
Despite the darker base, the composition remains balanced—classic Oushak scale keeps motifs broad enough to read from across the room. It’s a powerful choice for open-plan spaces where you want one zone (a seating group, for example) to feel defined. Pair it with camel leather, ivory bouclé, or even crisp white upholstery; the navy works like a tailored suit, making everything around it look more refined. This is the piece you choose when you want luxury with presence.
- Color Band: Navy, beige (with warm accent nuances)
- Size Band: Large (approx. 11.10′ x 9.0′)
- Price Band: Premium ($14,400)
- Style: Persian Oushak / dense mixed motif
- Use Case: Library sophistication, dining room drama, statement living room
- Designer Tip: Repeat the beige accents in drapery or a large sofa to keep the navy from feeling too “ink-dark.”
Persian Oushak Warm Sand Beige with Muted Seafoam Accents (SKU 68593)
SKU 68593 is a masterclass in sophisticated warmth. The warm sand beige ground feels sunlit and welcoming, while muted seafoam green accents introduce a gentle freshness—like the color of aged celadon or softly oxidized copper. The patterning is balanced and classically Oushak: stylized palmettes, scrolling vines, and an allover lattice that reads as decorative without becoming busy. This rug is particularly effective in larger rooms where you want a sense of cohesion across multiple furniture pieces.
In design terms, it solves a common problem: how to keep a neutral room from feeling monochrome. The seafoam notes create a subtle “third color” that harmonizes with warm metals, oak, walnut, and even painted cabinetry. Under a dining table, it delivers elegance; in a living room, it sets up an easy palette for creams, taupes, and layered textures. Because it’s generously sized, it can unify wide layouts—perfect for projects where scale is non-negotiable and the rug must look effortless rather than oversized.
- Color Band: Sand beige, muted seafoam green
- Size Band: Oversized (approx. 12.10′ x 9.10′)
- Price Band: Premium ($16,932)
- Style: Persian Oushak / balanced mixed motif
- Use Case: Large living rooms, dining rooms, formal sitting rooms
- Designer Tip: Pull the seafoam into the room via a single accent—sage velvet pillows or a celadon lamp—for a curated, not themed, look.
Persian Oushak Slate Gray with Pale Taupe Accents (SKU 69473)
SKU 69473 speaks to modern interiors that crave restraint. Slate gray delivers a tailored, contemporary base—cool, grounding, and beautifully compatible with today’s architectural materials—while pale taupe motifs soften the contrast so the rug still feels inviting. The decorative geometry is refined: elongated medallion forms, cloud-band scrolls, and meandering vines feel almost etched into the field, giving depth without high color saturation.
This is an excellent choice for homes with black-framed windows, concrete or limestone flooring, or rooms where crisp lines dominate. It adds pattern as texture—something you notice more the longer you look. In a living room, it helps anchor pale upholstery and keeps the palette from drifting too light; in a bedroom, it adds sophistication against warm wood nightstands and creamy bedding. The premium wool construction and moth-resistant profile make it a practical luxury—designed to handle real life while still reading like a designer piece.
- Color Band: Slate gray, pale taupe
- Size Band: Oversized (approx. 12.2′ x 9.1′)
- Price Band: Premium ($14,904)
- Style: Persian Oushak / decorative geometric
- Use Case: Contemporary living rooms, refined bedrooms, modern formal spaces
- Designer Tip: Pair with warm woods and soft ivory textiles to keep the slate from reading too cool.
Persian Oushak Cloud Gray with Parchment Accents (SKU 68232)
SKU 68232 is the elevated neutral you bring in when you want the room to feel expensive without relying on bold color. Cloud gray acts like a soft shadow across the floor, and parchment detailing adds warmth and clarity—never stark, never overly creamy. The motifs lean geometric and decorative, with palmette forms and lattice infill that reads like heritage design viewed through a modern lens.
Because it’s in a luxury tier, this rug is ideal for client spaces where “finish” matters: formal sitting rooms, large dining rooms, and master bedrooms that need a calm, tailored foundation. It’s also a smart solution for open-concept homes where the rug needs to complement multiple sightlines—kitchen hardware, window frames, and adjacent textiles. The overall impression is crisp but not cold, structured but still soft underfoot. If you love grayscale interiors but want to avoid anything that feels trendy, this Oushak keeps the look timeless.
- Color Band: Cloud gray, parchment
- Size Band: Large (approx. 11.10′ x 8.7′)
- Price Band: Luxury ($13,635)
- Style: Persian Oushak / geometric decorative
- Use Case: High-end living rooms, dining rooms, serene bedrooms
- Designer Tip: Layer in texture (bouclé, linen, ribbed wool) to make this tonal rug feel lush and dimensional.
Persian Oushak Cloud Cream with Sandstone Accents (SKU 70544)
SKU 70544 is the kind of rug that instantly brightens a room—without resorting to bright white. Cloud cream feels soft and natural, and sandstone accents bring a grounded warmth that reads beautifully with oak, travertine, and brushed brass. The design features central floral medallion forms and palmette clusters, framed by layered borders that give the piece a tailored edge. It’s decorative, but in that airy Oushak way: the pattern doesn’t crowd the space.
This rug excels in rooms where you want an inviting, hospitality-level feel—think a primary bedroom with a generous seating area or a dining room that hosts often. It’s also a strong styling tool for neutral homes that need more warmth at floor level. Because the palette is gentle, it lets bolder choices elsewhere shine: a sculptural chandelier, statement art, or darker cabinetry. The overall impression is premium and polished, with the easy elegance that makes Oushaks such a designer staple.

- Size Band: Large (approx. 11.8′ x 8.8′)
- Price Band: Premium ($13,668)
