# Customize an Arabic Jalsah for a Long Room

To customize an Arabic jalsah for a long room, start from the wall lengths: this beige design is cut run by run, each piece at most 75 in (190 cm) long, with short walls often taking a single cut-to-fit seat. Narrow rooms can take seats about 19.5 in (50 cm)–23.5 in (60 cm) deep, roomy ones up to 33.5 in (85 cm).

## Questions buyers ask

### Can I get the design I like in a darker shade, such as chocolate brown or navy?

Darker shades such as chocolate brown, navy or deep green are available for most designs, either as a darker colorway of the same pattern or in plain velvet or chenille. Light parts of a design can be swapped for brown, and one set can mix shades, for example chocolate seats with beige backrests.

### Can you make a majlis I saw on social media, but in my own choice of colors?

A design you saw on social media can be made in your own colors: send the photo, video link or model number and say which parts to keep and which to change. The same model can be reproduced in another color or fabric and sized to your room, for example black with gold or gray instead of beige.

## Which pieces does a long-room jalsah need?

| Element | How many | Measured size |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Long-wall seat | Equal pieces per run | Up to 75 in (190 cm) each |
| Short-wall seat | Cut to fit | Often one piece, such as 47 in (120 cm) |
| Backrest | Two over every seat | 16 in (40 cm) tall |
| Corner module | One per corner | 39 × 39 in (100 × 100 cm) at raised height |
| Armrest | Every open end | 19.5 × 8 × 8 in (50 × 20 × 20 cm) for floor seats |

Long rooms are where custom lengths matter most: short walls take single cut-to-fit seats, long walls take equal pieces, and the backrests line up all the way along. This design is one of the [made-to-order majlis families](https://orientalsofa.com/arabic-majlis/) we size wall by wall. The black glass coffee tables in the photos are room styling, quoted separately if you want them.

## What can you change on this beige design?

- Seat height: 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) or about 16 in (40 cm)
- Seat depth: narrower for a tight room, deeper on request
- Build: foam only, or foam seats over a wooden MDF frame
- Fabric: velvet, chenille or a linen-look cloth, in any numbered shade
- Trim: gold details kept, changed or left off

Not every model stretches to any length: some ready-made, velvet and patterned designs are only made in 75 in (190 cm) modules with set backrest shapes. This one is cut freely, which is why it suits long rooms. Our [guide to custom-made Arabic sofas](https://orientalsofa.com/custom-made-arabic-sofas-for-personalized-decoration/) covers the wider options.

## How deep should seats be in a long, narrow room?

Seats are normally about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, and two facing runs at that depth take 59 in (150 cm) of the width. In a room under 138 in (350 cm) wide, shaving the depth toward 23.5 in (60 cm) is what I recommend.

| Room width | Seat depth | Floor left between facing runs |
| --- | --- | --- |
| 118 in (300 cm) | 23.5 in (60 cm) | 71 in (180 cm) |
| 157 in (400 cm) | 29.5 in (75 cm) | 98 in (250 cm) |
| 197 in (500 cm) | 33.5 in (85 cm) | 130 in (330 cm) |

Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

## Will the beige match your floor and walls?

Beige covers many tones, and the exact one is picked from a numbered fabric card, so the seating can follow your room rather than the photo. Warm neutrals like this sit among the beige, taupe and champagne majlis designs. Ask us about fabric swatches and a foam sample before you order.

## What should a request for this jalsah include?

1. Wall lengths taken at floor level, with the unit written next to each figure.
2. The options you want changed, picked from the list of what can change.
3. A photo of any rug, curtain or floor the beige has to sit beside.

Our measuring guide walks through the tape work wall by wall. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. The pieces are then cut and sewn to that drawing. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship.

## Frequently asked questions

### How long can one run of this jalsah be?

A run can be as long as the wall. It is cut into equal seats, none over about 75 in (190 cm), so a 309 in (785 cm) wall takes five pieces of 62 in (157 cm), and the backrests stay evenly spaced along it.

### Can the beige jalsah have a wooden base on one side only?

Mixing builds works: foam seating along the walls and a wooden-base section on an open side, such as an entrance. Since a wooden section sits at 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm), the foam runs are made to that height.

### How many armrests does a long wraparound need?

Armrests follow the length of the seating and every open end. Expect two to four on a small L and six or more on a large U; the drawing shows each one so pieces can be added or dropped before cutting.
