The field coloration used by the Qashqai tribe is reds, ivory, blues, and greens. In addition, different shades of brown, cinnamon, and gold are used for the borders, medallion, corners, flower heads, and design elements. Dark brown or black is utilized for the design outlines.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.461</ref><br>

Qashqai rugs have [[Geometric Design|geometric]] designs and often have mostly a center [[Medallion Design|medallion]] and medallion quadrants in the corners of the field. At times, two or three medallions decorate the background. The design motifs feature small [[Flower Design|flowers]], leaves, tribal, ornaments, animals, and birds strongly reminiscent of weavings from Asia Minor. Qashqai weavers also replicated famous traditional Persian [[Boteh Design|Boteh]] (paisley), [[Herati Design|Herati]] (fish), and [[Minakhani Design|Minakhani]] (rosette-linked trellis) designs in the background and medallions of rugs. Occasionally, the [[Turkoman Rug|Turkmen]] [[Gul Motif|Gul]] (flower) surrounded with Hook motifs was used as the medallion and in the corners of the field. Another Qashqai field design has horizontal, vertical, or diagonal stripes featuring flowers and leaves. Qashqai weavers also made fine rugs with a silk weft in the famous Persepolis historical design.<br>
