Persian-Style Rugs

Persian-style rugs bring intricate medallion and floral patterns from centuries-old weaving traditions into a modern UK home. Look for a dense pile, a bordered design and rich jewel or warm neutral tones for a rug that anchors a living room or hallway without shouting for attention.

Sizes run from hallway runners to large 200×290cm pieces for a bigger living room, so measure your space before you fall for a pattern. The range includes machine-woven, washable and low-pile options, made for real homes, not showrooms.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a rug "Persian-style"?

Persian-style rugs take their look from centuries-old Iranian weaving traditions, most recognisable through a medallion centrepiece, dense botanical borders and jewel-toned or neutral palettes. Ours are Persian-style designs rather than hand-knotted originals, machine-woven for everyday UK homes.

What's the difference between Persian and Oriental rugs?

"Oriental rug" is the broader term for rugs from Iran, Turkey, Afghanistan and beyond, while "Persian" refers specifically to the Iranian weaving tradition, with its medallions, palmettes and cypress motifs. This collection focuses on that Persian-style look.

What size Persian-style rug suits a living room?

A 160×230cm rug fits most 3-seater sofa layouts, leaving a consistent border of floor visible around the seating. In a smaller room, 120×170cm keeps the pattern as the focal point without crowding the space.

Are Persian-style rugs machine washable?

Some designs in this range are, marked as washable on the product page. Others are traditional machine-woven pile, best kept clean with regular vacuuming, so check the individual product's care details before you buy.
