L-Shape Majlis Gallery

L shape photos of raised Arabic majlis sets and low floor sofas in velvet, kilim and medallion fabrics. See how a corner set fits, then ask for a quote.

The short answer

An L shape majlis runs along two adjoining walls and meets in the corner, leaving the rest of the room open. It suits living rooms with a door or window on one side. This gallery shows both raised Arabic majlis sets and low Arabic floor sofas in an L. Sofhu builds each one in Türkiye to your two wall measurements and ships it free worldwide.

L shape majlis sets for corner rooms

An L shape majlis takes two walls and leaves two free. That makes it the usual answer for a living room where one wall has the door and another has the television or a large window. Every set in this gallery is an L, and the photos are split about evenly between two different products. Roughly half show the Arabic majlis: raised, sofa-height units with an upholstered base, fixed backs and arm bolsters, mostly in velvet. The other half show the Arabic floor sofa: a low seat mattress with loose back cushions, an ottoman and floor pillows, in kilim, sadu, star and medallion weaves. Sofhu makes both, and the corner works the same way in each.

The mustard velvet set below is a majlis.

Choosing the two walls

Decide first which wall takes the long side. It normally goes on the wall you see as you enter, with the short side returning beside or beneath the window. Keep the door swing clear, and check radiators and sockets before you commit. Many of the sets here have one long arm and one short. Equal arms suit a square room.

What happens in the corner

Look closely at the corners in these photos. The seat and backrest continue through the corner so that no place is lost, and an armrest usually marks where one side ends and the next begins. On a majlis, like the black velvet one below, the corner is a fixed upholstered unit. On a floor sofa the two seat mattresses simply meet, and the loose back cushions close the gap. If you would rather keep the corner free for a small table or a lamp, say so when you order.

From L to U, and how to order

An L often becomes a U when a third wall is freed up. The L-shape and U-shape majlis page compares the two, and the U-shape gallery shows the result. For numbers of guests, see how many people a majlis seats. To order, measure both walls as described in how to measure a room for a majlis and send them through get a quote. Sofhu makes the set to those figures and ships it free worldwide. With only one wall free, the single-row gallery is the place to start.

Questions

Before you order

Does it matter which side the short arm is on?

Yes, and it is the most common thing people forget to say. Stand in the doorway facing the corner and tell us whether the short side should run to your left or your right. A simple sketch or a photo of the room with the two walls marked removes any doubt.

Can the two sides be different lengths?

They usually are. Each side is made to its own wall, so a long run on one wall and a short return on the other is normal. Give both wall lengths separately, and mention anything that limits how far a side can run, such as a door frame or a radiator.

Can an L-shape set sit under a window?

It can, as long as there is something solid behind the backs. A wall below the sill is fine; floor-to-ceiling glass or a curtain alone is not. Send a photo of the window wall with your measurements and we will advise how that side should be built.

Is an L-shape enough when the whole family visits?

For large gatherings, floor cushions and an ottoman add places without adding furniture, and they stack away afterwards. They come as standard companions to a floor sofa and can be made to match a majlis too. How many people the two sides seat depends on your wall lengths, so ask for that figure with your quote once the measurements are in.

Can I split the L into two separate rows later?

The sets are modular and can be rearranged, so the two sides can be used apart, for example in two rooms after a move. Each row still needs a wall behind it. If you think you may split it, tell us, so that both ends of each side are finished properly.
