What fits a corner of 72 in (183 cm) by 60 in (152 cm)?
Start with the two numbers, because the corner decides the rest. The 72 in (183 cm) wall takes one seat piece, just under the 75 in (190 cm) limit for any single seat. On the 60 in (152 cm) wall the first run already fills the corner, so the second seat is the wall length minus about 27.5 in (70 cm) of seat depth. That New Hampshire corner follows the same depth and corner rule as a larger American room, and how both scale up to a family room is laid out in our majlis room-size guide for US homes.
| Where | Measure | What goes there |
|---|---|---|
| Long wall | 72 in (183 cm) | One seat cut to the wall |
| Short wall | 60 in (152 cm) | A seat of about 32.5 in (82 cm) after the corner |
| Corner | Where the runs meet | A corner backrest of 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) |
| Open ends | Two | An armrest bolster of 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) at each |
| Seat height | Your choice | 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) or 16 in (40 cm) |

Questions buyers ask
- I have a small corner with a 72 in (183 cm) wall and a 60 in (152 cm) wall. What kind of set fits there?
- A compact L fits: one seat of 72 in (183 cm) on the long wall and a shorter one of about 32.5 in (82 cm) on the other, because the first run already fills the corner. A corner backrest closes the angle and an armrest sits at each open end. Say whether each figure is the wall or the seating you want.
- We don't need the ottoman, only the rug and the floor pillows. Can the ottoman be left out?
- On a custom layout it can: seats, backrests, armrests and matching pillows make up the order, and an ottoman, a rug or curtains are add-ons that appear only when you ask for them. Standard sets are bought in steps, so ask the designer which step includes the pouf pillows you want.
Which pieces can you leave out of a set?
A custom L lists only what you ask for. The ottoman table measures 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm), so it is the first piece to drop when floor space is tight. Standard sets come in steps instead: seats and backs only, with a rug, with a rug and an ottoman, or the full set with three pouf pillows. In the patterned and kilim-weave ranges the full set adds a matching rug, the ottoman and the pouf pillows to the seating.
Nearly two in three New Hampshire housing units are single-family houses, and the corner of a family room is where many a majlis plan starts.
How do you measure a corner without guessing?
- Choose which wall takes the corner, because the first run goes all the way into it.
- Take about 27.5 in (70 cm), the seat depth, off the second wall.
- Leave a small gap at each wall end; foam forgives a difference of up to about 2 in (5 cm).
- Add a photo of the corner and say whether each figure is the wall itself or the seating you want.
The majlis planner takes both wall lengths and returns the seat list, and the measuring worksheet covers doors, windows and outlets.
How do sets reach New Hampshire?
Cushions are pressed and vacuum-sealed at the atelier, so an L usually fits in two or three boxes that can arrive on different days. Each box has its own tracking number, emailed once the order ships. Delivery to the US and Canada is by tracked express courier — ask us for the current transit estimate.

What do the census figures say about Arab households in New Hampshire?
According to the Census Bureau's ACS 5-year estimates, about 9,165 New Hampshire residents report Arab ancestry, and Lebanese families are the largest group by a wide margin. Southern New Hampshire belongs to the Boston-Cambridge-Newton metro area, and families planning a full room can read how the neighboring state does it on our page for the Arabic majlis in Massachusetts.

Local questions
The description on my order link doesn't match what we agreed. What should I do before paying?
Ask the team to correct the link before you pay. Compare the sizes, color and piece list on it with the layout you agreed, because production starts only after you confirm the order. A link that has expired is simply reissued.
I picked a design from the catalog and live in New Hampshire. What do you need from me?
Send the design you picked, the wall lengths and the position of the door. The design team replies with a layout drawing for you to check, and each box ships with its own tracking number once the order is dispatched.
How exact does my measuring need to be?
Foam cushions absorb a measuring difference of up to about 2 in (5 cm), so a tape reading that is slightly off will not spoil the plan. Leave a small space at the end of each wall, and check the corner reading once more before you send the figures.
