Modern and traditional seating layouts

Custom Arabic Majlis Furniture in Dubai

Majlis benches, raised or floor-level seating and cushion sets made to the measured wall runs of your room. Built in Ajman for Dubai and UAE homes.

Serving Dubai and the UAE from our Ajman workshop.

How a majlis set is put together

The base is usually a low upholstered bench running the length of the wall, sometimes with a corner return. Back cushions lean against the wall or a low back panel, and seat cushions sit on top of the base.

Because the bench follows the room, we take the wall run, corners and door clearances as one measurement sheet. Cushions are then cut to that run so the seams land in the same places on every section.

  • Long wall runs are built in sections so they can be brought in through the door
  • Seat and back cushions can be re-covered later without rebuilding the base
  • Fabric and foam are matched to how often the room is used

Plan the room

Modern and traditional Majlis seating styles

The layout can be restrained and modern or richly detailed; the construction still begins with accurate wall and corner measurements.

Modern Majlis seating

Clean upholstered bases, tailored cushions and simplified detailing for contemporary rooms.

Traditional Majlis seating

Low seating, patterned textiles and coordinated bolsters based on your chosen reference.

Floor seating

Low cushion arrangements planned around wall lengths, corners and access points.

Raised bench seating

Timber-framed upholstered bases with specified seat height and removable cushions.

Measurements

Wall runs, corners and door clearances measured together

A Majlis is treated as one continuous layout. Sections are sized so corners meet cleanly and long benches still pass through the doorway.

  • Straight and angled corners recorded
  • Door swings and circulation protected
  • Sections joined and levelled on site

Comfort and colour

Cushions, fabric and coordinated details

Seat foam, loose backs, bolsters, piping and colour combinations are agreed as one set. Existing sound Majlis bases can also be assessed for reupholstery.

  • Removable zipped cushion covers
  • Fabric selected for expected use
  • Existing seating assessed separately

Why made-to-order work is different

Built to the wall run

Bench length follows the measured run, including corners, so the seating lines up with the room.

02

Cushions that keep their shape

Foam grades and fibre wraps are selected for the amount of use the majlis gets.

03

Sections that fit the doorway

Long runs are built in modules that can be carried in and joined on site.

04

Fabric you choose

Pick a hard-wearing weave from the workshop range or bring your own fabric for checking.

Majlis Furniture questions

Practical answers about measurements, materials and the quotation process.

Can Majlis seating follow an entire wall?

Yes. Each wall run and corner is measured as part of one layout. Long benches are divided into sections that can pass through the door, then joined and levelled on site so the seating reads as a continuous run.

Can an existing Majlis be reupholstered?

Yes, if the bases and frames remain sound. We assess the existing benches, cushions, foam and covers separately, then quote the fabric and padding that actually need renewal. Structural repairs are identified before new covers are made.

How are Majlis corners measured?

We record both wall runs, the corner angle, skirting, columns, sockets and any door swing that affects the seating. Cushion joins and bench modules are then planned together so the corner closes neatly without blocking circulation.

How is majlis seating built and installed?

The bench base is built in sections so it can be carried through the door, upholstered, then joined and levelled along the wall on site. Seat and back cushions are cut to the same wall run so the seams line up across the sections.
