Lessons from decorating my own majlis

The majlis is where we welcome people, so it has to be comfortable for many guests at once.

Seating comes first

We kept traditional low seating along the walls and added a few firm cushions for back support.

Warm, durable textiles

Wool rugs and woven fabrics handle busy evenings and still look beautiful.

Light for conversation

Wall lights and lanterns give a warm glow without glare, so the room feels welcoming late into the night.
