The Soft Grandeur of Persian Oushak: A Classic Made Effortless
Oushak rugs have always lived at the intersection of refinement and ease. Originating from the Anatolian weaving traditions that became synonymous with “Ushak/Oushak,” the style was prized for generous scale motifs, open composition, and color that felt sun-washed rather than saturated. Over time, Persian workshops embraced the spirit of Oushak and translated it through a Persian lens—keeping the airy, architectural drawing but infusing it with a quieter elegance and a wool handle that feels luxurious underfoot.
Today’s Persian Oushak is beloved by designers for exactly that balance: presence without heaviness. The patterns read like gentle structure—palmettes, medallion traces, vine scrolls, and softened geometry—while the palettes lean into clouded ivories, warm sands, powder blues, and nuanced grays. This is the rug you choose when you want the room to feel collected, not “styled.” It anchors a living room without dictating it, brings calm to a bedroom, and gives dining spaces a tailored backdrop that still feels welcoming.
In the Arsin Rug Gallery edit below, you’ll find Oushaks that range from barely-there tonal fields to decorative florals with restrained contrast—each selected for modern homes where texture, light, and proportion matter as much as pattern.
Persian (Oushak) Gray with Cream and Taupe Modern Area Contemporary Abstract Striated Design SKU 68397
This Persian Oushak feels like a tailored cashmere coat for the floor—quietly luxurious, impeccably balanced, and designed for rooms where the architecture should speak first. The warm gray ground reads sophisticated and calm, while soft beige and cream movement drifts through the field in gentle striations, like brushed plaster or layered linen. It’s an Oushak at its most contemporary: still rooted in tradition through its hand-knotted wool craft and steady proportions, yet visually modern in how it handles pattern—more atmosphere than ornament.
Place it under a sectional and watch it unify mixed materials: oak, travertine, boucle, brushed nickel. In a dining room, it’s the kind of rug that makes a table feel intentional without competing with statement lighting. This piece is especially strong for open-plan homes where you want to define zones with subtle shifts in tone rather than bold borders.
- Color Band: Warm Gray, Soft Beige, Cream
- Size Band: Medium (approx. 8’6″ x 10′)
- Price Band: Premium ($11,310)
- Style: Contemporary Oushak / Abstract Geometric
- Use Case: Living room anchor, dining room refinement, open-plan zoning
- Designer Tip: Pair with layered neutrals (ivory upholstery, taupe drapery) and add one “temperature breaker” like blackened metal or walnut for depth.
Persian Oushak Light Ivory with Subtle Gray Modern Area Contemporary Solid Abrash Field SKU 67047
If your ideal room feels bright, edited, and architectural, this light-ivory Persian Oushak is a masterstroke. The cloud-dancer ground is luminous without being stark, and the glacier-gray accents arrive as soft linear breaths—just enough abrash and texture to keep the surface alive. It’s the kind of rug that doesn’t “decorate” so much as it elevates: it gives a space a finished foundation the way a perfectly painted wall does, making everything else feel more expensive.
In a living room, it supports sculptural furniture and lets art take center stage. In a bedroom, it turns morning light into part of the design—clean, calm, and hotel-level serene. Because the patterning is minimal and linear, it’s also exceptionally versatile with both modern and transitional pieces, and it’s forgiving in the way all good texture-driven rugs are: it hides daily life while still looking refined.
- Color Band: Light Ivory, Subtle Gray
- Size Band: Large (approx. 9’6″ x 12’10”)
- Price Band: Premium ($16,380)
- Style: Modern Oushak / Tonal Linear
- Use Case: Minimalist living rooms, primary bedroom serenity, gallery-like spaces
- Designer Tip: Keep contrast soft—think cream sofa, pale oak, and layered whites—then add dimension with matte ceramics and nubby textiles.
Persian Oushak Light Blue with Camel and Rust Traditional Area Contemporary Floral Allover SKU 69053
This is the Persian Oushak for clients who want tradition—just filtered through light. The cloud-blue field brings an immediate sense of airiness, while apricot cream, camel, and soft rust details create warmth that feels lived-in rather than loud. The floral allover language is classic Oushak: palmettes, scrolling vines, and rosette clusters arranged with a balanced rhythm that’s decorative but never busy. It reads “collected,” like something found in a storied villa and brought into a modern home.
It’s a natural fit for rooms that need charm without clutter. Under a dining table, the warm accents prevent the space from feeling cold. In a living room, it pairs beautifully with cream upholstery, antique brass, and natural woods. And if you love mixing old and new—mid-century silhouettes with traditional references—this rug is a graceful bridge.

- Size Band: Standard Large (approx. 8’1″ x 10’6″)
- Price Band: Premium ($11,430)
- Style: Traditional Oushak / Floral Allover
- Use Case: Dining rooms, formal sitting rooms, transitional living spaces
- Designer Tip: Echo the rust/apricot notes in just one element (a pillow stripe or art) and keep the rest quiet to maintain that airy Oushak sophistication.
Persian Oushak Beige with Blue and Green Accents Traditional Area Contemporary Scattered Floral SKU 69342
There’s a particular kind of comfort that comes from a parchment-toned Oushak: it warms the room the way candlelight does, instantly softening edges and making everything feel more inviting. This Persian piece uses that parchment ground as a gentle canvas, then floats blue haze and quiet green accents across it in scattered floral and palmette gestures. The effect is elegant and relaxed—decorative, yes, but with plenty of breathing room so the rug never overwhelms.
This is an ideal “designer neutral” for spaces that already have personality: a room with statement drapery, a patterned sofa, or bold art. It won’t compete; it will coordinate. In bedrooms, it creates an enveloping calm. In living rooms, it reads sophisticated and timeless, especially with creamy textiles and warm woods.

- Designer Tip: Pull one shade from the “blue haze” into your window treatments for a subtle, high-end color story that feels intentional.
Persian Oushak Beige with Blue and Soft Orange Traditional Area Contemporary Rug SKU 67064
Think of this rug as sunlight through linen: light, warm, and gently dimensional. The pastel parchment ground keeps the room bright, while powder blue accents introduce coolness and clarity. Then, just when the palette could drift too serene, soft orange notes appear—small, tasteful sparks that add life without turning the rug into the main event. The pattern feels open and intentionally spaced, with stylized palmettes and scattered motifs that give the surface a curated, “not-too-new” softness.
It’s a beautiful pick for family living rooms where you want something elevated but approachable, or guest rooms where comfort should feel immediate. The palette also plays well with today’s popular finishes—light oak, white paint, unlacquered brass, and creamy upholstery—while still leaving room for bolder styling if you prefer contrast.
- Color Band: Pastel Beige, Powder Blue, Soft Orange
- Size Band: Standard Large (approx. 9’0″ x 11’7″)
- Price Band: Premium ($14,043)
- Style: Transitional Oushak / Open Decorative
- Use Case: Family rooms, guest rooms, layered transitional interiors
- Designer Tip: Repeat the soft orange once—try a terracotta vessel or a rust-toned throw—so the warmth feels deliberate and architectural.
Persian Oushak Beige with Soft Blue and Olive Accents Traditional Area New Rug SKU 67049
This wheat-and-fog Persian Oushak is what designers reach for when they want a room to feel refined, but not precious. The palette sits in that coveted neutral zone—warm enough to flatter wood tones and skin tones, cool enough to feel fresh with white walls. Soft blue and olive accents ripple through the decorative geometry, offering just enough color to make the rug feel layered and soulful.
The patterning is balanced and moderately dense: you’ll notice stylized palmettes and medallion fragments, but they read as a cohesive texture rather than a demanding motif. It’s excellent for dining rooms where you want visual interest under the table, or living rooms that need a foundation for a mix of vintage and contemporary pieces. This rug has the “settled” look of a classic—without the heaviness some traditional rugs can bring.
- Color Band: Wheat Beige, Fog Gray, Soft Blue, Olive
- Size Band: Standard Large (approx. 8’10” x 11’9″)
- Price Band: Premium ($13,923)
- Style: Traditional Oushak / Decorative Geometric

- Designer Tip: Use olive accents to connect to greenery (real plants or botanical art). It makes the palette feel intentional and quietly contemporary.
Persian Oushak Beige with Light Blue Accents Traditional Area Contemporary Rug SKU 89026
For anyone building a calm, coastal-leaning neutral interior—without going theme-y—this Persian Oushak is a dream. Silver gray and powder blue combine into a palette that feels like morning light on stone: cool, clean, and inherently soothing. The motifs are softened and diffuse, as if the traditional Oushak vocabulary has been gently blurred into a modern watercolor. It’s decorative, but never high-contrast, which makes it incredibly livable and easy to style.
In a living room, it pairs beautifully with slipcovered seating, pale oak, and layered whites. In a bedroom, it creates that spa-like quiet that makes the whole home feel more considered. The balanced pattern density gives you interest from across the room, while the subtlety rewards you up close—exactly what a premium Oushak should do.
- Color Band: Silver Gray, Powder Blue
- Size Band: Standard Large (approx. 8’8″ x 10’8″)
- Price Band: Premium ($12,480)
- Style: Contemporary Oushak / Soft Decorative Geometric
- Use Case: Coastal-modern living rooms, serene bedrooms, reception areas
- Designer Tip: Add texture, not color—boucle, wool throws, and woven baskets will keep the palette elevated instead of flat.
Persian Oushak Light Blue with Soft Pastel Accents Traditional Gallery Runner SKU 89042
A beautiful runner is one of the quickest ways to make a home feel intentional, and this Persian Oushak gallery runner delivers that “designed” feeling the moment you step into the corridor. Powder blue sets a fresh, optimistic base, while pale peach accents add warmth like a subtle blush—especially flattering in hallways where light can be limited. The stylized palmettes and gentle medallion forms keep the eye moving, which is exactly what you want in a long passage.
Because it’s Oushak, the pattern isn’t fussy; it’s open, rhythmic, and elegant. It can travel from entry to kitchen zone without feeling too formal, yet it still reads elevated enough for a gallery-like hallway. The wool construction and balanced density make it a practical luxury—something you live with every day and enjoy every time you pass.
