Gul rows turn the corner along the backrests and meet at the 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) corner backrest. ## Questions buyers ask ### If I start with a smaller set, can I add pieces later, for example to turn my L set into a U? Separate floor-seat pieces let an L be extended with additional components. For an Afghan Gul U, the new run also needs the appropriate corner backrests and end pieces, so list them on the revised plan. Confirm the current fabric reference before ordering additions to an existing set. ### Can one side of my L-shaped majlis be much shorter than the other, like a 49 in (125 cm) wall? Each side of an L is sized on its own, so one side can be as short as a 49 in (125 cm) wall while the main wall takes the longest run. Send a sketch with each wall length. ## What does each Afghan Gul L package contain? | Piece | Size | Seating only (9) | Full set (14) | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Seat cushion | 75 × 27.5 in (190 × 70 cm) | 2 | 2 | | Backrest | 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) | 4 | 4 | | Corner backrest | 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) | 1 | 1 | | Armrest bolster | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) | 2 | 2 | | Floor pillow | 27.5 × 19.5 in (70 × 50 cm) | None | 3 | | Ottoman | 23.5 × 23.5 × 8 in (60 × 60 × 20 cm) | None | 1 | | Matching rug | Ask us | None | 1 | Two more packages sit between those columns: 10 pieces with the rug, and 11 with the rug and the ottoman. Sibling sets in other weaves appear among the [kilim floor sofa sets](https://orientalsofa.com/traditional-sofa-models/). ## How does the Afghan Gul L turn its corner? Where the runs meet, the first seat runs into the corner and the second run begins about 27.5 in (70 cm) along its wall. That is why the standard L measures 75 in (190 cm) along the shorter wall and 102 in (260 cm) along the longer one. A short corner backrest, 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm), closes the gap where the two lines of backrests meet. Other walls are cut to fit, with no piece longer than about 75 in (190 cm). An L of 144 in (365 cm) by 73 in (185 cm), for example, takes three seat cushions, six backrests, a corner backrest and three armrests. ## Can the Afghan Gul L take a half-length seat on a short wall? A half seat of about 37.5 in (95 cm) is the usual way to fill a wall that falls between full lengths. Patterned weaves need a check first, since not every pattern is made in half-size pieces. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. > A household in Germany wanted a red L-shape plus a half-length sofa to extend one side. Worried about fit, they first asked whether they could buy one sofa as a test seat; our team offered that, or a plan drawing from wall-to-wall sizes. They then sent a precise list: four full seat cushions of 75 × 27.5 × 4 in (190 × 70 × 10 cm), two half cushions of 37.5 × 27.5 × 4 in (95 × 70 × 10 cm), five standard backrests and one short one, three pouf pillows and two armrests. After the order, our team found that the chosen pattern is not produced in half-size cushions and offered a similar design for those two pieces. The household did not want a mismatch, so they asked for the whole set to be made in one consistent pattern instead. ## Who sits in the Afghan Gul corner most, and how high should the seat be? | Seat | What changes | Availability | | --- | --- | --- | | 4 in (10 cm) | Closest to the floor | Standard choice | | 8 in (20 cm) | One block or two 4 in (10 cm) layers | Standard choice | | 12 in (30 cm) | Easier for older relatives | Usually made to order | | 16 in (40 cm) | About regular sofa height | Usually made to order | In a corner where two generations sit, I plan the height around the oldest guest. Made-to-order sets take a little longer than ready ones — ask us for the current timing. Expect firm to medium-firm foam. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build. ## Will the gold, maroon or navy Afghan Gul sit beside an Afghan rug? Each octagon on these covers is a gul, the medallion Turkmen weavers repeated across their rugs. Gold, maroon and navy blue grounds echo many Afghan and Persian rugs, so the L can share a floor with a rug you already own. The weave is meant for indoor rooms. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order. The Afghan Gul pattern page tells where the gul comes from. ## How do you sketch the walls, gul rows and ottoman for an Afghan Gul L? 1. Measure both seating walls along the floor and note which one is longer. 2. Say which way the corner turns when you face the seating. 3. Mark the wall where the gul rows start and where the ottoman will stand. Put the two lengths into the [seat layout planner](https://orientalsofa.com/tools/majlis-planner/) to see where each seat falls. The [room measuring guide for a majlis](https://orientalsofa.com/guides/how-to-measure-for-a-majlis/) covers walls with doors and radiators. > Corners decide the plan, so measure them twice. ## Frequently asked questions ### Can the Afghan Gul L be ordered to turn left or right? The pieces are separate, so the same set can turn either way. Say which wall is longer and which way the corner faces, so the gul rows line up on the drawing. ### Can the Afghan Gul L grow into a U later? Seats, backrests, corner backrests and armrests in the same gul weave can be ordered any time. Send the length of the new wall, and the team lists what the second corner needs. ### How far does the Afghan Gul L reach into the room? Each seat is 27.5 in (70 cm) deep, backrests included, so the L reaches about 27.5 in (70 cm) out from both walls and leaves the corner floor for the ottoman. ## Related pages - [Afghan Gul Single Set](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/afghan-gul-single-floor-sofa-set/) - [Afghan Gul U-Shaped Set](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/afghan-gul-u-shaped-floor-sofa-set/) - [L-shaped majlis and floor sofa sets](https://orientalsofa.com/majlis-layouts/l-shaped/) - [Afghan Toshak Floor Seating, Made to Your Room](https://orientalsofa.com/premium-afghan-toshak/)
