The short answer

This Sofhu gallery shows those beside red and burgundy Arabic floor sofas in kilim, medallion and sadu-pattern weaves, which sit low on the floor. Both appear in single-row, L-shape and U-shape rooms, made to measure in Türkiye and delivered with free worldwide shipping.

Red majlis and red floor sofas in this gallery

This gallery mixes two products, and most of the photos are floor sofas. The red majlis sets are the raised, fully upholstered ones: burgundy velvet with woven panels, fixed backs and cream tassels, the most formal look here. The rest are Arabic floor sofas, low cushion sets that sit on the floor with an ottoman and floor pillows. They come in burgundy and cream kilim weave, burgundy medallion weave, and a bright red sadu-pattern weave with black and white bands, in colours long used in Bedouin sadu weaving. A few are velvet. A couple of maroon folding sunbeds, photographed in the dunes, appear as well. How the two products differ is set out on the Arabic majlis page.

Burgundy velvet majlis for the guest room

A full burgundy velvet majlis in a U is a room built for receiving people. Velvet in this depth of colour absorbs light, so it needs pale walls, sheer curtains and a light rug to keep the space open. Gold thread and cream cord pick up the lamp light in the evening. The pairing of deep red with green is covered in emerald green and burgundy majlis ideas.

Kilim and sadu floor sofas for daily sitting

Patterned weaves hide the small marks of daily life, tea and children included. The red sadu-pattern floor sofas are shown with a matching rug, so floor and seating read as one piece. For the background to the weave itself, see Bedouin majlis and sadu, and for the designs, majlis patterns and motifs.

From a red photo to your room

Pick the photo, then send your wall lengths through get a quote. Say whether the photo you chose is a majlis or a floor sofa, since the two are built differently. Sofhu makes either to those measurements, fills the cushions with 32 kg/m³ foam and ships free worldwide; the layouts are explained under majlis sofa set. If red feels like too much for the whole room, a few photos here show cream floor sofas with burgundy bands, and the cream, beige and gold gallery has more pale options.

Questions

Before you order

Will a red majlis make a small room feel smaller?

A full wall of deep red does draw the walls in. In a small room, choose a floor sofa in a kilim weave with plenty of cream in it, keep the rug and curtains pale, or use a single row or an L-shape instead of a full U. The burgundy and cream sets in this gallery show how that looks in an ordinary living room.

What is the difference between burgundy, maroon and red in these sets?

Burgundy and maroon are the deep, wine-toned reds used for the velvet majlis sets and the kilim-pattern floor sofas. The sadu-pattern floor sofas use a brighter, clearer red with black and white. Screens change colour, so describe the tone you want in words as well as pointing to a photo when you ask for a quote.

Do the red sets come with a matching rug?

Many of the floor sofa sets shown were photographed with a rug, ottoman and floor cushions in the same fabric family. A rug, curtains and ottomans can be made with your set so the reds match. Tell us which extras you want and they will be included in the quote.

Does red fabric lose colour when washed?

Sofhu states that its covers keep their colour after washing. The covers are zippered and removable and are washed at 30 degrees; velvet covers should be washed cool and not tumble dried. Wash a red cover on its own the first time, as you would any strongly coloured textile.

Is the sadu pattern on these sets hand-woven sadu?

These floor sofas use upholstery fabric with a sadu-style pattern. Traditional sadu is a hand-woven Bedouin textile of wool and goat or camel hair, and we do not describe our fabric as that. What the sets share with it is the look: narrow geometric bands in red, black and white.
