Personalized Arabic Jalsah in Black and Ivory Stripes

The Personalized Arabic Jalsah is a black and ivory striped majlis with black velvet seats on bases traced by a stepped gold fret line and ivory backrests striped in black. A 52 in (132 cm) seat, for example, carries two 26 in (66 cm) striped backrests, so the stripes keep an even rhythm along each wall.

Cushions are pressed, rolled and vacuum-sealed for shipping and spring back to full size once you open them; they can't be re-compressed at home.

Your set ships in several boxes, typically two or three for an L-shape and more for larger layouts, and they may arrive on different days.

Every box gets its own tracking number, emailed as soon as your order ships.

Each shipment travels with a commercial invoice that lists the goods, their value, weight and materials.

Care

Covers unzip and can be machine-washed on a gentle 86°F (30°C) cycle with a mild detergent; avoid heat, which can shrink them.

How high will you sit?

If someone at home finds low seats hard to get up from, choose 12 in (30 cm) or the 16 in (40 cm) sofa-height option; 4 in (10 cm) to 8 in (20 cm) suits a classic floor-style room or a prayer room.

Thickness guide

Seat height	Height from the floor	Sits like
4 in (10 cm)	10 of 40 cm	Classic floor-style seating
8 in (20 cm)	20 of 40 cm	The usual low seat, close to the floor
12 in (30 cm)	30 of 40 cm	Easier to get up from than a low seat
16 in (40 cm)	40 of 40 cm	About the seat height of a regular sofa

Most raised majlis designs can also be made at 8 in (20 cm), keeping the same look at half the height.

Questions buyers ask

What is your return policy if I order a custom-size majlis or floor sofa?

Made-to-measure pieces can't usually be returned for a change of mind — ask us how this applies before you order. Review the Personalized Arabic Jalsah drawing, fabric code and component list before confirming the order, because those details describe what is being made. A report about damage or a missing item follows the separate process stated for that issue.

From the atelier

Can the Personalized Arabic Jalsah covers be remade in new colors later?

Covers can be ordered without foam, for example to refresh a set in a new color, so the foam inserts you already have stay in use. Note the color numbers of your first order and the piece sizes on your layout drawing, and send both when you ask.

Questions about this design

How many striped backrests and gold-fret seats does a room need?

Item	Count	Dimensions
Black velvet seat on a gold-fret base	Set by your wall lengths	Near 29.5 in (75 cm) deep, at most 75 in (190 cm) per piece
Ivory backrest with black stripes	Spread evenly along each seat	Cut to match its seat
Armrest with an X-strap cover	One where each run ends	Straight or round style
Striped bolster with a tassel	Placed on the drawing	Planned with the armrests

In the photos, the nesting tables, the geometric rug and the black-and-ivory valance are styling for the room. Beside the gold-heavy designs in our Arabic majlis range, this one keeps its gold to a single stepped line at the base.

How are the striped backrests divided along each wall?

Backrests are split evenly over the seat beneath them, so a 52 in (132 cm) seat carries two 26 in (66 cm) backrests. Seats follow the same equal split, up to 75 in (190 cm) each.

I like the stripes on the backrests above calm black seats, because the eye then reads each wall as one long rhythm. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval.

Which seat height and build suit black bases with gold lines?

Low seats of 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm) keep a floor-style room, 12 in (30 cm) helps guests who rise often, and a raised build sits at 14.5 in (37 cm) to 16 in (40 cm) depending on the model. Two builds are possible: foam throughout, or foam seats on an MDF and wood frame.

A raised base gives the stepped gold line more height to run along, and that is the version I would choose for this design. Seats use high-density polyurethane foam — ask us for the exact density for your build.

Can the black be swapped for navy or charcoal?

Every block, from the seat to the stripe, is chosen from the numbered color card, and the gold line can be left off for an all-black base. In some patterned fabrics true black is not woven at all, and a very dark navy or charcoal is then the closest match.

Charcoal softens the contrast, and I would choose it for a room with strong daylight. Charcoal with ivory also sits close to the modern majlis designs, where channel stitching does the work that gold does elsewhere. Velvet, chenille and linen-look weaves are weighed against each other in our guide to majlis fabrics.

What stays the same if you resize this striped design?

Wall lengths, corners and seat height follow your room.
Some striped and patterned designs come only in standard 75 in (190 cm) modules, so ask before planning an odd length.
Depth can come down to 19.5 in (50 cm)–23.5 in (60 cm) for a narrow room.

Which photos and lengths does the design team need?

I would let a rug with a knotted geometric border pick up the black, and keep the pillows plain so the stripes stay the strongest pattern in the room.

Send each wall's length in any unit, a sketch or a short video of the room, and the height you have in mind. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule.

Are the striped bolsters included with the Personalized Arabic Jalsah?

The quote covers seats, backrests, two armrest styles and matching pillows, each with its cover and filling, so the striped bolsters are planned in. Tables, rugs and the window valance in the photos are separate add-ons.

Can the Personalized Arabic Jalsah be made as all-foam floor seating?

Most designs can be built with or without a wooden base, and frame designs can also be made as all-foam floor seating. For this one, a 8 in (20 cm) foam seat is the usual choice, and 4 in (10 cm) is possible for a very low room.

Why is this design called a personalized jalsah?

Nothing about it is fixed until your room is measured: wall lengths, seat height, build and every color are chosen per order. The stripes and the gold fret line are what stay recognizable.
