The color of the rug field is usually red, but a small percentage is ivory or dark blue. The medallion and corners are woven in turquoise or dark blue. The main border generally has a dark blue or ivory background. In addition, shades of red, blue, brown, gold, gray, and green decorate the design elements and guard stripes. Dark blue or dark brown is used for the design outlines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.376</ref>

Mazlaghan rugs have semigeometric designs in a medallion style. They characteristically have a single design featuring an Open Field centered with a large medallion with quartered medallion corners. Often, flower motifs connected by vines and leaves are woven in the field. The medallion and corners feature uniform rows of flowers or ornamental motifs. The border designs have flower heads with leaves and vines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.376</ref>
