Oushak rugs originated from the city of Ushak in Western Anatolia, Turkey. They are known for their use of high quality, often silky and luminous wool. Oushak rugs feature grand, spacious designs with large scale floral motifs, geometric patterns and central medallions. The color palettes tend to be soft, muted and earthy. Traditionally, natural dyes are used giving the colors a subtle and warm appearance. Oushak rugs often evoke a sense of calm elegance and sophistication, and can compliment a wide range of interior design styles, from traditional to modern.
