The rug designs are [[Geometric Design|geometric]], in [[Allover Design|allover]] or [[Medallion Design|medallion]] styles. The rugs show influences from other [[Kerman Rug|Kerman]] Province nomadic carpets, as well as [[Turkoman Rug|TURKMEN]] RUGS, Caucasian (CAUCASUS region) rugs, and the [[Baluch Rug|BALUCH]], [[Lori Rug|LORI]], [[Qashghai Rug|QASHQAI]], and [[Shiraz Rug|SHIRAZ]] tribes. In general, the medallion weavings have one, two, or three lozenge-shaped devices surrounded by motifs decorated in a parallel style.<br>

The patterns in the field feature floral sprays, [[Boteh Design|Boteh]] (paisley), Star, and other elements. Shahrbabak allover patterns employ Boteh, French Flower Bouquet, Lattice, Minakhani, Shrub, Star, and other designs. The main borders are narrow, like inany other tribal weavings, and have guard borders on each side. The borders are geometric: repeating flower heads, vines, and leaves, continuous star or tribal motifs are rendered. By the late twentieth century, some Shahrbabak weavers switched from using their traditional tribal designs to making rugs similar to those of other weaving regions in Iran in order to meet domestic and foreign export needs.<ref>Moheban, 2015, p.523</ref><br>
