Sofhu, the manufacturer, builds each set in Türkiye to your wall measurements, as a raised majlis or a low floor sofa, with 32 kg/m³ high-density foam and washable covers, in modern neutral fabrics or traditional patterns, and ships it free to your Irvine address.

The great room is the heart of many Irvine homes: kitchen, dining table and sitting area in one bright space with few interior walls. It is a pleasure to live in and awkward to furnish for guests, because a big couch in the middle blocks the view and still seats only four. A majlis sofa in Irvine solves that differently. Seating along the walls holds a crowd and leaves the sightlines open. Sofhu builds it to your measurements in Türkiye and ships it free.
Zoning a great room with a majlis sofa in Irvine
Seating that follows the walls draws a boundary without building one. Sofhu makes it as two products. The Arabic majlis is raised to ordinary sofa height and built as upholstered units with fixed backs and arm bolsters. The Arabic floor sofa is a low cushion set at floor level. Either way the middle stays clear, so the room keeps its openness while the rug and the seating around it announce where guests belong.
Two rules make it work in a planned-community home or condo:
- Use the walls you have. The seating is not freestanding. Each run needs a wall or something solid behind it, so the natural spot is the corner farthest from the kitchen.
- Let the rug finish the shape. An L-shape on two walls plus a rug the size of the sitting area reads as a room within the room.
The guide to mixing a majlis with Western furniture shows how a low set lives beside a dining table and a television wall, and the L-shape and U-shape layout guide helps with proportions.
A city of many hosts
Irvine has sizeable Iranian, Arab and South Asian communities. Each brings its own way of receiving people.
- Persian households traditionally sit on a fine carpet with poshti backrests against the wall. Sofhu’s sets are upholstered foam, not carpet-faced poshti, but a plain floor sofa row placed on your own carpet keeps the same posture and lets the carpet stay the star. See the Persian poshti page.
- Arab families tend to want the firm jalsa with armrests, in an L or a U, described on the Arabic sofa hub.
- Many families of every background simply want one room where shoes come off and everyone can sit close.
Modern fabrics for newer homes
Newer houses with pale floors and white kitchens suit quiet colours. The grey velvet majlis with gold stripes at the top of this page is a good example: the form is traditional, the palette is not. Sofhu’s range runs from plain greys, creams and beiges to teal, navy and black with gold.
For inspiration, see the modern Arabic sofa hub and the ideas for beige, cream and grey majlis rooms. Sofhu describes its velvet as durable and easy to clean. Linen has a matte, casual look. All covers unzip, and Sofhu states they can be washed at 30°C.
Sofa only, or the full set
You decide how much of the room Sofhu makes. The floor sofa below shows it. The same L-shape can be ordered four ways: seating alone, with a rug, with a rug and ottoman, or as a full set with loose floor cushions.
Homes with an existing carpet usually take the seating alone. A new build with bare floors is a chance to have rug, ottoman and curtains made in fabrics that match.
Condos and upper floors
Irvine has many condos and townhomes, and a majlis suits them. The set is modular, so it arrives in sections and not as one rigid piece, and the base does not scratch wood or laminate floors. In a condo living room, a single row under the window or an L in the corner is usually the limit. Measure the wall between the balcony door and the corner carefully, since that run decides everything else.
Measuring and delivery
Sofhu has no shop in Irvine or elsewhere in Orange County. Ordering is done by measurement:
- the length of each wall the seating will follow, with the unit written down
- the height of any window sill or half wall behind the seating
- outlets, floor vents and door swings
- photos taken from the kitchen side of the room
Send them through the quote by measurement page or on WhatsApp. The set arrives vacuum packed at your door with free shipping.
