# Emerald Green Yemeni Majlis Running Both Walls of a Long Hall

Two long walls of bottle-green velvet seating, edged in caramel and gold, face each other across ivory rug runners in this green Yemeni majlis for a long hall, with a shorter run at the far end. Green pillows line the 16 in (40 cm) velvet backrests, and a matching corner backrest fills each turn.

## Questions buyers ask

### Can one Emerald Green seat run the full length of a hall wall?

No single piece goes beyond about 75 in (190 cm), so a long wall becomes several seats laid end to end. Equal splits keep the caramel edging and the pillows in step, and pieces of that size can be vacuum-packed for shipping.

### What happens where the long Emerald Green runs meet the end wall?

At each corner one run stops short by a seat depth, about 29.5 in (75 cm) here, because the other wall's seating already fills the angle. A 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) corner backrest closes the gap, so the green line turns cleanly.

## Which pieces go into a hall-length green majlis?

| Piece | On this design | Size or count |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Seat module | Bottle-green velvet with caramel and gold edging | Up to 75 in (190 cm) long, about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep |
| Backrest | Green velvet | Two per seat, each about half its length, 16 in (40 cm) tall |
| Corner backrest | Green velvet | 23.5 × 16 × 4 in (60 × 40 × 10 cm) at each turn |
| Armrest | Rolled, caramel, with fringe | Near 10 × 10 × 21.5 in (25 × 25 × 55 cm) on a raised build |
| Pillow | Green, crossed with caramel bands | Set along the runs by the planner |

On a hall this long, the caramel edge draws one straight line from the door to the far wall, so an uneven split shows at once. For a family lounge rather than a hall, the smaller layouts among our [Yemeni majlis for family rooms](https://orientalsofa.com/yemeni-majlis/) use the same pieces.

## How many guests fit along two long walls and an end wall?

Take a hall with two 374 in (950 cm) walls and a 197 in (500 cm) end wall. Each long wall takes five 75 in (190 cm) seats. The end wall loses about 29.5 in (75 cm) at each corner, which leaves room for two 69 in (175 cm) seats.

| Wall | Length | Seats | Backrests |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| First long wall | 374 in (950 cm) | 5 of 75 in (190 cm) | 10 |
| End wall | 197 in (500 cm) | 2 of 69 in (175 cm) | 4 |
| Second long wall | 374 in (950 cm) | 5 of 75 in (190 cm) | 10 |

Twelve seats at two to three adults each give room for twenty-four to thirty-six guests. I count backrests from the seat list, never from a photo: two per seat, plus one corner backrest at each turn.

> A household in England first asked for eight single sets to seat sixteen people. The team explained that one U-shaped set seats about nine, so two layouts made more sense. Each room had a 98 × 138 in (250 × 350 cm) carpet, and one room only needed partial seating. The buyer then sent a detailed list of 4 in (10 cm) pieces. Confusion followed when the buyer reduced the seat cushions but listed fewer backrests than the seats needed; the team clarified that each 75 × 27.5 × 4 in (190 × 70 × 10 cm) seat takes two 37.5 × 16 × 4 in (95 × 40 × 10 cm) backrests, and recalculated the order for four seats, corner backrests, poufs, armrests, a rug and an ottoman.

## How do you measure a hall longer than 354 in (900 cm)?

1. Run the tape at floor level along each wall, stopping at every door opening.
2. Note how far each column, door frame and window sits from its corner.
3. Photograph the hall from every corner and letter the walls on a sketch.

A gap of about 2 in (5 cm) at a wall end disappears into the foam, so small errors are harmless. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.

> Tape measure, pencil, phone camera: that is the whole kit.

## What can change for your hall: color, height or build?

Green is a frequent request, yet either color can be swapped for another swatch number. A deeper emerald on a black-and-gold baroque base appears on the [Green Star Royal majlis](https://orientalsofa.com/urun/green-star-royal-yemeni-majlis-arabic-jalsa-arabic-majlis/), and more hall designs sit under palace-style hall majlis designs.

The seat height options are 4 in (10 cm), 8 in (20 cm), 12 in (30 cm) and 16 in (40 cm). Where older guests stay for long evenings, 12 in (30 cm) or 16 in (40 cm) is the height I recommend. A wooden frame sets the seat between 14.5 in (37 cm) and 16 in (40 cm), never lower. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

## From hall plan to delivery: what happens after you send the numbers?

1. Your numbers come back as a drawing of every seat for you to check.
2. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.
3. Each piece carries a number that matches the drawing.
4. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship.

A hall plan is mostly arithmetic, partner: walls, corners, seats and backrests, in that order.

## Frequently asked questions

### How narrow can the green seats be made if the hall is tight?

A tight hall can take seats trimmed to 19.5 in (50 cm) or 23.5 in (60 cm) deep instead of 29.5 in (75 cm), and a roomy one can go to 33.5 in (85 cm) on request. The saving goes to the walkway.

### Are the low tables with brass trays part of the hall majlis?

The tables, trays, rug runners and curtains in the photos belong to the room. The quote covers the seating itself, with its pillows, covers and foam; tables are an extra line if you want them.

### Can the long runs stand away from the walls to face the center?

Backrests on a foam majlis lean on something solid, which is why these runs are drawn against the walls. Where a run must face the room with nothing behind it, ask about metal back supports.
