Mosque carpet is usually woven in a roll according to the dimensions of the masjid, which when installed, is spread from one wall of the mosque to the opposite wall and is placed completely towards the qibla.
In general, prayer carpet roll designs include Islamic and gilding patterns, as well as floral and plant motifs, which are also found in abundance in traditional Iranian designs such as wall tiles of mosques.
Structurally, masjid carpet designs can be divided into three main categories:
1- Mihrab designs
2- Border designs without mihrab
3- Borderless designs and without mihrab

Pros and cons of mihrab carpet
Among the features of the mihrab prayer carpet roll, we can mention the order and distance created between the worshipers, in fact, each mihrab is for one worshiper (such as a single prayer rug) and creates better decoration and organization in mosque than non-mihrab carpets.
One of the disadvantages of the mihrab design is that it has more discrepancy than non-mihrab carpet; When weaving, a complete mihrab design should be woven, but when installing in the mosque, some of the last mihrab of the carpet should be cut.
Border mosque carpet designs
In fact, the border prayer carpet roll is the same as the side carpet, which is mostly used for spaces that have a very small width and a long length.
The difference between the border carpet of the mosque and the usual type that you see in the house or ceremonial halls is related to the margins of the carpets; In ordinary ceremonial carpets, 2 borders can be seen on its sides, while for mosque carpet rolls, only one border are considered in the carpet design.

Pros and cons of border carpet
Border prayer carpet roll (without mihrab design) are better for religious places that have less space and a large number of worshipers, because the mihrab carpets usually creates a small distance between the worshipers, but in border masjid carpet, this limitation does not exist.
Tiling mosque carpet rolls
This type of mosque carpet is structurally quite similar to the border prayer carpet roll, except that the side edge is removed so that by placing the rolls next to each other, the medallion designs of each roll are completed together and look exactly like a one-piece carpet.
Of course, it should be noted that some of the one-piece carpets that you see mostly in luxury mosques in Arab countries are woven in the largest size and then completely connected to each other. This type of luxury and expensive masjid carpet is rarely used in Iran because apart from the price, it is very difficult to wash and maintain.
