Many Charlotte houses have a room nobody quite knows what to do with: the bonus room. It is big, it is out of the way, and it has long plain walls. Those are the three things a majlis sofa needs. Sofhu makes Arabic majlis seating to measure in Türkiye and delivers it free to Charlotte, and this page looks at how to plan a set for the homes people actually live in here.
Charlotte’s Arab and Muslim community
Charlotte has a growing Arab and Muslim community. Halal markets and Middle Eastern restaurants are found among the many international businesses of east Charlotte, while families live across the suburbs.
A community that is still growing does not have one house style. Some families want the formal room they remember from home, in velvet with gold detail. Others want something plain that sits easily in an American house. Sofhu makes two products for them. The Arabic majlis, shown throughout this page, is raised to sofa height and fully upholstered, with a solid base, fixed backs and arm bolsters. The Arabic floor sofa is a low set of seat mattresses and loose back cushions.
A majlis in the bonus room
The bonus room suits a full set because it is separate from the kitchen and the television, so guests can be received without the whole house being on show.
- L-shape if the room has a door in one long wall or doubles as a playroom. The beige set above uses two walls and leaves the rest open.
- U-shape if the room is given over to sitting. Three sides face each other, which is how a majlis is meant to be used.
- Single row under a window wall as an addition to either.
The seating stands against the wall behind it. In a bonus room with a sloping ceiling, check that the vertical part of the wall is tall enough to support a backrest. The guide to measuring a room for a majlis explains what to write down, and L-shape and U-shape layouts compares the two main plans.
The formal living room option
If you would rather keep the bonus room for the children, the front living room is the other candidate. Here the set is on view from the hall, so finish matters more.
The L-shape above has tray-topped armrests, a flat surface at each end for a coffee cup or a plate of dates. It is a useful detail in a room with no space for side tables. Neutral colours are covered in beige, cream and grey majlis ideas.
Fabric for humid summers
Charlotte summers are humid, and upholstery should be chosen with that in mind.
| Fabric | When to choose it |
|---|---|
| Linen | Rooms that run warm; Sofhu describes it as absorbent and refreshing in heat |
| Woven series | Everyday family rooms; described as non-wrinkling |
| Velvet | Air-conditioned formal rooms |
Sofhu’s linen floor sofa page has the detail, and velvet vs linen vs jacquard sets the options side by side. Whichever you pick, the covers are zippered. They come off and go in the machine at 30°C, according to Sofhu.
Inside the seat
The cushions hold 32 kg/m³ high-density polyurethane foam, with no springs. Think of the number as the amount of foam packed into the seat. A denser cushion generally stays supportive for longer, which is what you want in a room used by a whole family. Firmness is adjustable to order. For households with small children, a family majlis with young children has practical advice.
Ordering from Charlotte
Sofhu has no shop in the city. It builds each set after the measurements are agreed and sends it to your door, vacuum packed in sealed bags that you open by hand.
Measure each wall along the floor, photograph the room and ask for a quote by measurement or use WhatsApp. Shipping is free. Customs duty or tax may apply when goods enter the United States, so check with Sofhu first.
