One of the new designs (Mahi Tabriz) is composed of small Herati motifs repeated throughout the field of the rug. Many new patterns were as well created. Most common design is the medallion, which were then divided into four and placed in the four corners of the field. In Tabriz rugs a wide variety of color combinations are used.
