A majlis sofa is the heart of the reception room in a UAE home. Because the majlis is built around the room’s walls, a ready-made set rarely fits. This guide covers how to size one, what it costs, and how to order it made to measure.
Choose the style
- Raised Arabic majlis: normal seat height, the easiest choice for older guests.
- Floor majlis: low seating with bolsters, best in larger rooms.
- Modern majlis: quiet lines and soft fabrics, such as the crescent-backed Moon Set.
- Neoclassic: more detail and heavier materials, such as the Malaki Neoclassic Set with its 250 cm four-seat sofa.
Work out the size
Measure each wall. Leave about 90 cm clear at doors and about 45 cm between the sofa and the centre table. Allow 60 to 70 cm per person, so a 240 cm sofa seats three comfortably. Our guide on how to measure a room for a majlis goes through it step by step.
