Oushak Rugs

Big patterns, soft color, plenty of room to breathe.

A handmade Oushak rug (also spelled Ushak) is one of the easiest rugs to live with. The patterns are large and relaxed, the color is soft and warm rather than loud, and there's open space in the design that lets a room breathe instead of competing with it.

The Story Behind Oushak Rugs

Oushak takes its name from Uşak, a city in western Anatolia, in what is now Turkey. Uşak has been a rug-weaving center for centuries, and its large-scale designs, built around bold medallions and sweeping floral and vine patterns, became some of the most recognized in the Turkish weaving tradition. Over time they've also become some of the most popular with interior designers, because they sit so comfortably next to both antique and modern furniture.

A Design Tradition That Travels

Because the Oushak look has been woven well beyond Uşak itself, the name describes a design style more than a single place. Our collection is Turkish-design Oushak, and every listing tells you where that exact rug was made, along with its size and construction.

Colors and Patterns

The classic Oushak palette is gentle: soft reds and terracotta, warm golds and apricot, sage and muted greens, faded blues, and plenty of ivory. The designs are generous in scale, with big medallions, open fields, and loose floral or vine work, rather than the tight, busy repeats you'd see in a finer city weave. That combination is exactly what makes an Oushak feel relaxed rather than formal.

Materials and Construction

Every Oushak rug we carry is handmade from wool, with a soft, hand-knotted pile. The wool is part of why the color looks so warm underfoot, and the generous pile makes these some of the most comfortable rugs in the collection to walk on.

Where Oushak Rugs Work Well

The open, low-contrast designs suit almost any room. An Oushak anchors a living room or dining room without overpowering the furniture, softens a bedroom, and looks right in a modern space where you want some warmth. Oushak also comes in runner sizes for a hallway, and our Size Guide helps you match a size to your room.

Caring for an Oushak Rug

Regular light vacuuming and prompt attention to spills keep an Oushak looking its best. The softer palette can show marks more than a darker rug, so it's worth blotting spills quickly. Our full Rug Care guide covers the details.
