What is a majlis and how is it used today?

A majlis is a traditional Arabic guest salon used for hospitality, conversation, and ceremonies. Today it blends cultural customs with modern comforts and can be adapted for mixed-gender or private family use.

How should I choose colors and furniture for a modern majlis?

Choose a warm neutral palette (beige, cream, taupe) and mix rich fabrics with textured accents; prioritize low, comfortable seating and durable textiles for frequent entertaining.

Can a majlis connect to outdoor areas or other rooms?

Yes — many majlis designs open to terraces or dining zones to improve flow; planning sightlines and transitions helps the indoor and outdoor spaces feel cohesive.
