Motif is the main element of designing songket patterns.  When several motifs are arranged within parts of the songket, patterns are created on the songket cloth.  The arrangement of motifs in Malay art pieces always deals with the appreciation of the Malay people of God’s creation.
In the past, songket motifs are very much influenced to the cultures and beliefs of Hindu-Buddhist.  The motifs are later stylized to incorporate with Islamic religious restrictions where realistic potrayal of animals and human figures are discouraged.  Moreover, the nature of the weaving techniques have the tendency to cause the motifs to become geometrical design.  Thus, this helps diffuse the exact depiction of the real figures.
Patterns are combination or composition of motifs based on several styles or in simple terms, patterns are motifs arrangement.  Grace Selvanayagam  classified the patterns decorating the body or badan of the songket into five main categories.

1. Rhomboid patterns (corak teluk berantai) or full floral patterns (corak bunga penuh).

2. Striped or banded patterns (corak jalur).

3. Checked patterns (corak tapak catur).

4. Chevron patterns (corak siku keluang).

5. Spotted or scattered motifs forming patterns (corak bertabur).

6. Bamboo shoot patterns (corak pucuk rebung).
