Traditional rugs and Oriental rugs generally describe rugs with more floral patterns, a surrounding border or multiple borders and with or without a central medallion. Traditional rugs and Oriental style rugs include ancient Persian Designs, Turkish Designs, Indian Designs and Chinese Designs to name a few. These rugs tend to identily themselves with a region or city where the design originated.  Colors of Traditional rugs vary but tend to be of a stronger nature for the most part. However there has been a more recent movement of production in lighter colors mostly based on the demand of Architects and Interior Designers. These designs are timeless and work in a variety of interiors.
