When shopping for an area rug for any room in your home, you’ll quickly learn how diverse this industry can be. There are many different types of materials, styles, colors, and sizes to choose from. Once you’ve landed on a category — say Persian, Turkish, Oriental, and so on — you’ll then be able to narrow down the other details. Today, we’re going to focus on the different styles of Oushak rugs.
Why do Oushak rugs have such varied styles?
In a previous blog, we extensively covered the history of Oushak rugs. To briefly recap, Oushak rugs are from the province of Uşak in Turkey. They are colorful, diverse, and made with exceptionally high-quality materials. This also means that, based on the weaver’s intent, there are a variety of styles of Oushak rugs available on the market today. Here is a brief overview of each of them.
Moroccan Trellis
Within the different styles of Oushak rugs, we want to highlight a more unique — and rare — option: Moroccan Trellis. This all-over design is distinctive among other types of area rugs within the Oushak family. It’s creative, unusual, and hard to come by. You can check it out here.
The Type of Dye
Another defining feature within the styles of Oushak rugs is whether the weaver used vegetable dyes or synthetic. Frequently, weavers will lean toward vegetable dyes. However, depending on their needs they may occasionally use synthetic to achieve a specific color combination.
Colorful Oushak Rugs
Speaking of color, there is no end in sight within the color options of Oushak rugs. You can find one to match just about any decor, from blues to reds and from blacks to pinks as well as everything in between.
Round Rugs
Next, let’s look at the shape. Among the styles of Oushak rugs is round rugs. These are less common than the next two styles of Oushak rugs, but can really amplify the other aspects of your room’s decor.
Runner Rugs
More common than round but not as frequent as the next style are runner rugs. As with any other type of runner rug, you can find Oushak rugs in sizes as small as six feet and as large as 16 feet — sometimes even larger!
Area Rugs
Finally, as we conclude our survey of the different styles of Oushak rugs, we’d be remiss if we didn’t address the largest category: area rugs. These include some of the above styles as well, including color and Moroccan Trellis. They’re also what most people will think of when they are looking for a rug for their home.
