This new Turkish Oushak runner showcases a repeating vertical pattern of tall tree-of-life motifs with branching foliage and small floral urns centered along the length. The deep blue ground provides a rich backdrop, while lighter mint and lavender tones highlight the symmetrical branches and rosettes that connect each repeating section. Wide side borders run parallel with scrolling vines, geometric fillers, and small blossoms in beige and coral to complete the balanced, elongated composition.
Oushak runners frequently incorporate tree-of-life designs that symbolize growth and continuity, a motif carried forward from historical Turkish weaving centers. This contemporary hand-knotted version uses wool to create a medium pile with gentle abrash shifts that add natural depth and a softly aged look. The cool blue palette keeps the long format feeling fresh and spacious rather than heavy.
A 3×16 runner suits very long hallways, wide entry corridors, or extended kitchen spaces, offering protection and style along high-traffic paths. The blue tones bring a calming, serene energy to transitional or coastal homes, contrasting nicely with warm wood floors or neutral walls. Wool construction delivers comfort underfoot, excellent durability for constant use, and easy upkeep with regular vacuuming.
